Under the Scheme of Compassionate Appointment to the dependents of deceased Govt 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 Govt. Employee, duly relaxing the upper
age limit to consider her for Compassionate Appointment. In most of the cases, the spouses of the deceased Govt. 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 (S.C./ S.T. / B.C. / P.H.C. 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 for Compassionate Appointment to the spouse of the deceased Govt. Employee.
After careful consideration, Government direct that the upper age limit of 45 years shall be reckoned as on the date of submission of application, provided the application for Compassionate Appointment is made within one year after the death of the employee. In other words, the spouse of the deceased Government Servant should not have crossed 45 years of age as on the date of submission of application for Compassionate Appointment. In case, if the spouse of the deceased Government employee is above 45 years of age, ex-gratia amount as per orders issued in G.O. Ms. No. 59, General Administration (Ser. A) Department, Dated: 05-02-1993 shall be paid.
