The Scheme provides for compassionate appointment in the following cases :-

i) when an employee dies while performing his/her official duty as a result of violence, terrorism, robbery or dacoity; or

ii) when an employee dies within five years of his/her first appointment or before reaching the age of 30 years, whichever is later, leaving a dependent spouse and/or minor children.

The above information was submitted in a written reply to a question in Parliament on 30.8.2013 by the Minister of State for Finance Shri.Namo Narain Meena
