In connection with the above mentioned subject, it is intimated that a number of grievances in connection with Certificates to be issued under rule 5(3) of the Jammu and Kashmir Appointment to Class-IV (Special Recruitment) Rules, 2020 notified vide S.O. 184 of 2020 dated 04.06.2020 have been received and examined in the General Administration Department.
Accordingly, upon consideration of the same by the Competent Authority, the undersigned is directed to clarify the issues as raised as under :
| S.No. | Issue Raised | Clarification/Response |
| 1 | Whether a girl candidate with one parent expired can claim the extra weight-age under category of Orphan girls. | Only such un-married girl candidate can claim the extra weight-age whose both the parents have expired. |
| 2 | Whether a candidate having a Causal/Contractual/Adhoc/Daily Rated Workers/Consolidated and other honorarium based Workers such as Anganwari Workers, Asha Worker, SPOs NYC, CPW,SPO, PTS, HDF etc. in his/her family can claim the extra marks under these rules | Since these do not fall under the category of permanent Government employees, the candidate having any such temporary employee within his family can be considered for extra weight-age. |
| 3 | Whether a candidate who has a brother/sister in Government service and is living separately, can avail the extra marks earmarked for a candidate with no member of his family as an employee. | Rules clearly specify that the Family shall include brother, sister, father, mother and Spouse and the question of any sibling living separately cannot be taken into consideration. |
| 4 | Can a candidate who had no member of his family in Government service at the time of applying (up-to cutoff date) but during the intervening period someone in the family has secured such employment can avail the Certificate for extra points. | The eligibility with respect to academic and professional qualification is determined as on the cut-off date of the notification. With respect to employment the last date of verification of documents notified by the SSB shall be the cut- off date. In other words, the candidate can avail such certificate only if none of his family member is Government employee up to the last date of verification of documents (as notified by SSB). |
| 5 | The period of validity of these Certificates is also not mentioned. The designated authorities have asked to clarify the matter. | The Certificates may be issued for a specific selection process. It shall clearly mention that the Certificate shall be valid for selection process initiated by SSB (as per advertisement notification) |
