Under the scheme of compassionate appointment to the dependents of deceased Government employees, the compassionate appointment may be considered to the spouse / son / daughter, who were dependent on the deceased Government employee, when there is no earning member in the family of the deceased employee. Instructions were issued from time to time on compassionate appointment to the spouse of deceased government employee duly relaxing the upper age limit to consider her for compassionate appointment. In most of the cases, the spouses of the deceased Government employees were at the age of above 40 years, and early 50s. The age limits for the appointment to the public service are governed by A.P. State and subordinate Service Rules. Certain age concessions were given, over and above, to the age limits to the protected groups of society (Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe / Backward Classes / Physically
Handicapped Persons) including the women in distress. By taking all these age Concessions into consideration, the upper age limit for appointment to the public service is fixed at 45 years. Keeping this in view, it is decided to follow the upper age limit of 45 years of compassionate appointment to the spouse of the deceased government employee.
After careful consideration, Government direct that the upper age limit of 45 years as on 1st July of the year in which the application is made, provided the application for compassionate appointment is made within one year after the death of the employee, shall be followed for the compassionate appointment to the spouse of the deceased Government employee. In case, if the spouse of the deceased Government employee is above 45 years of age, exgratia amount as per orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.59, General Administration (Ser.A) Department, dated 05.02.1993 shall be paid.
