DG Post No. A-34012/10/2014-DE dated 25.03.2014
Sub: Age relaxation for appointment 0f widows, divorced women & women judicially separated from their husbands and who were not remarried.
I am directed to refer to your letter No. P/4-3/Recruitment dated 12.03.2014 on the above mentioned subject.
2. The case has been examined DOP&T O.M> No. 41034/1/2014-Estt(D) dated 30.01.2014 provides that the “age relaxation for appointment of widows, divorced women & women judicially separated from their husbands and who were not remarried allowing age concession upto the age of 35 years ( 40 years for member of SC/ST) for the post of Gr. ‘C’ and erstwhile Gr. ‘D’ filed through “Staff Selection Commission (SSC)” and “Employment Exchange”. The present PA/SA DR Examination is through open competition by inviting applications from the eligible applicants and it is not through Staff Selection Commission or through employment exchange. The RRS for PA/SA provides the age limit between 18 to 27 years only with 5 years relaxation for SC & ST. Therefore, the Age relaxation for the category of candidates mentioned in ytour letter would not be extended since the OM is very clear about its extension to Recruitment made thorough SSFC/Employment Exchange.
3. This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.
