Kindly refer to the subject cited above.
2. The Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc since it raised its head in India and unfortunately many officers and officials of the Department have lost their lives while in service due to this disease. The situation is even more painful where the officer/official happened to be the sole bread earner in the family. The entire Income-tax fraternity stands in solidarity with the families of the deceased employees.
3. In this context, it is stated that the DoPT vide O.M. No. 14014/6/94-Estt(D) dated 09.10.1988 had issued the ‘Compassionate Appointment under Central Government’ Scheme to grant appointment on compassionate grounds to a dependent family member of a Government servant dying in harness or who is retired on medical grounds. The Scheme has been updated from time to time. The main object of the Scheme is to relieve the families of such Government servants from financial destitution and to help them get over the emergency.
