Amendment of CCS Rules for Persons with Disabilities
Amendment of CCS Rules for Persons with Disabilities
The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) has issued a fresh set
of Instructions to all Ministries/Departments granting relaxation in
the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972 for Disabled employees.
In an Office Memorandum dated February 25, 2015, the DoPT has reiterated
that the disabled employees will be entitled to pay, promotion and
other service benefits even if they cannot be taken back to the post
they were holding or are adjusted or kept waiting until a suitable
vacancy arises.
The medical leave on account of disability will not be subject to
ceiling under Rule 12 and any leave debited for the period after a
Government servant is declared incapacitated shall be remitted back into
his/her leave account.
The leave applied on medical certificate in connection with disability
cannot also be refused or revoked without reference to a Medical
Authority, whose advice shall be binding. Leave will also be granted
even if the Government servant’s family member submits an
application/medical certificate in case the employee is unable to do so
on account of the disability.
The services of an employee can neither be terminated nor reduced in
rank in case the employee has acquired a disability during his service.
Any disabled employee who is not fit to return to duty shall be shifted
to some other post. If that is not possible, the disabled employee shall
be kept on a supernumerary post until a suitable post is available or
he attains superannuation. Besides, no promotion shall be denied to a
person simply on ground of his/her disability.
