One Day, One Minute, One Rule – 270
What is the maximum duration a candidate’s name can be kept under consideration for a compassionate appointment if no vacancy is immediately available?
According to the 2003 guidelines, the following rules apply to the duration of consideration:
• If an appointment cannot be made in the first year due to a lack of vacancies within the 5% quota, a prescribed Committee must review the case.
• The Committee evaluates the financial condition of the family to decide if the case warrants an extension for one more year. This extension is subject to the availability of a clear vacancy and the candidate being deemed deserving and "penurious" (living in extreme poverty).
• A person's name can be kept under consideration for a maximum of three years.
• To reach the three-year mark, the Committee must review and formally certify the applicant's penurious condition at the end of both the first and second years.
• If an appointment is not possible after three years of consideration, the case is finally closed and will not be considered again.
