Central Govt Says Don’t lay off or demote employees for disability
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has amended Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules,1972, to make it easier for such employees to continue in service or to get invalid pension
Now No establishment shall dispense with or reduce in rank, an employee who acquires a disability during his service.
It also makes it mandatory for the government departments not to deny promotion to “a person merely on the ground of his disability”.
If a government servant,retires from the service on account of any bodily or mental infirmity which permanently incapacitates him for the service he may be granted invalid pension or service gratuity depending upon the length of his qualifying service on the date of retirement,
In case a government servant applies for an invalid pension, he shall be required to submit a medical certificate of incapacity from a medical board
