Appointment on compassionate grounds relates to the appointments made ofdependents of
Railway servants who lose their lives in the course of duty or die in hamess otherwise while in
service or are medically incapacitated/decategorised. Instructions regarding appointments on
compassionate grounds have been issued from time to time.

Multiple instructions on the same subject have been issued, thus creating some doubts in
the wake of their implementation.
3.
To avoid ambiguity in instructions issued w.r.t. CGA, it has now been decided to clarify
and also reiterate some of the existing instructions, by clearly providing for the time limit within
which requests for CGA must be received and disposed of by the Raitway Administration, as

given to the families/applicants regarding the formalities to be completed for
compassionate appointment.

including a checklist of all the documents to be attached to the application for
compassionate appointment should be prepared by each Railway /Production Unit
etc.
A register should be maintained by the Welfare Wing in each Divisionfunit etc.,
containing detailed particulars of the deceased employees including the date on
which the chitdren of the deceased would attain the age of majority, etc. One
column in the register should invariably indicate the file number opened for the
case.
The Welfare Wing should intimate the widow/the family enclosing a copy of the
brochure as at (ii) (a) above and bringing out among other things that in case the
appointment is sought for the son/daughter who is minor at the time ofdeath ofthe
