Quick Summary

This discussion explores the eligibility for compassionate appointment following the death of an LIC employee. The original poster resigned from their job to care for their ill father and was subsequently denied compassionate appointment by LIC, who cited they were 'gainfully employed' at the time of application. Other users suggest that compassionate appointment is not a right but depends on vacancies, and that financial status certificates from relevant authorities might be required for consideration. The poster is seeking advice on legal recourse and experts to help them pursue their case.

Compassionate appointment can not be saught as a matter of right it depends upon availability of vacancies and number of candidates.

I agree with you sir but if the deceased employee son/daughter is unemployed and whether they can be considered or not?

LIC is bound to provide appointment if Rev.Div Officer issues finanacial status certificate of d family and no earning member certificate from Tahsildar is produced.Pl.approach High court in this regard.
