Please refer to this office letter no. 17-0112017-GDS dated 05.03.2020 wherein it was requested to review the compassionate engagement cases of dependents of deceased/missing GDS, which were rejected by the CCE between the period year 2005 and May 2017 as a one time measure.
2. In this context, the matter has been reviewed again and it is observed that a large number of cases are pending on the part of the Circles.

Therefore, it is again requested to finalize all pending compassionate cases within a period of one-month i.e by 11th September 2021. A completion certificate signed by DPS (HQ) with the approval of CPMG may be sent to Directorate by 15th September, 2021.
3. Further, attention is invited to letter no. 17-0112017-GDS dated 01.06.2021 wherein it was requested to finalize compassionate case within a period of two months from the death of GDS. To expedite the process, Competent Authority has approved the following stage wise timelines to finalize the Compassionate Engagement within the period of 2 months of from the date of death of GDS:-
