OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Procurement of Goods / Services through Government e-Marketplace (GeM).
Rule 149 of GFR states that procurement of common use goods and services by Ministries or Departments will be mandatory for Goods or Services available on GeM. Further amendment dated 02.04.2019 of GFR Rule 150 provides that for goods and services not available on GeM, Head of Ministry/ Department may also register suppliers of Goods and Services. Such registered suppliers should be boarded on GeM as and when the item or service gets listed on GeM.
2. As per the instructions contained in OM No.F.18/3/2017-PPD dated 25.07.2017 by Department of Expenditure, it has been clearly stipulated that while publishing any Bid for procurement through Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), procuring entities are required to give an undertaking that category of goods/ services being tendered/ procured is not available on GeM and they have no objection in providing this information for making available such products/ services in GeM.
3. In view of the above provisions of GFR, the procurement of common use goods and services by Ministries or Departments through GeM is mandatory for Goods or Services for which product/service categories are available on GeM.
4. In order to effectively implement the above provisions, a functionality for generating “GeM Availability Report & Past Transaction Summary” is being made available on GeM. This would greatly help and benefit the Buyers and Competent Authorities in taking informed procurement decisions in respect of availability of a product/service on GeM along-with necessary details relating to past transaction summary.
5. With effect from 01.07.2020, when the above functionality will be deployed on GeM, it will be mandatory for a buyer to generate a “GeM Availability Report and Past Transaction Summary” (GeMAR&PTS) with a unique ID on GeM portal using his login credentials on GeM for procurement outside GeM. The Past Transaction Summary will be provided, wherever available. “GeMAR&PTS” shall be a pre-requisite for arriving at a decision by the competent authority for procurement of required goods and services by floating a bid outside GeM and its unique ID would be required to be furnished on the publishing portal along with the tender proposed to be published.
6. However, in case it is not possible to extract GeMAR&PTS report due to urgency and non-functioning of GeM at that time or due to non availability of internet connection, screenshots in such cases shall be placed in procurement files, along with details of reasons/ circumstances. Further, in these circumstances, furnishing of unique ID on publishing portal will not be insisted.
7. This issues with the approval of Secretary (Expenditure).

Children born to the second wife may also be considered for compassionate appointment

New Delhi, dated 30.12.2019

(As per standard mailing list)
Sub : Appointment on Compassionate Grounds – cases of second wife and her wards.
Attention is invited to Board’s letter No.E(NG)II/91/RC-1/136 dated 02.01.1992 (RBE No. 1/1992) wherein it has been laid down that in the case of railway employee dying in harness, etc. leaving more than one widow along with children born to the second wife, while settlement dues may be shared by both widows due to Court orders or otherwise on merits of each case, appointment on compassionate grounds to the second widow and her children are not be considered unless the administration has permitted the second marriage in special circumstances, taking into account the personal law, etc.
2. In the case of Union of India vs. V.R. Tripathi, the Hon’ble Supreme Court had, vide their order dated 11.12.2018 in OA No. 12015/2018 (arising out of SLP(C) No. 32004/2016) dismissed on merits the Appeal filed against the Hon’ble Bombay High Court’s Order in WP No. 910/2015 and in WP No.892/2015 in two Central Railway cases that permitted consideration for grant of compassionate appointment to the child of the 2nd wife of the deceased Railway employee. Subsequently, several other judgements of Hon’ble High Courts have been received in which consideration for grant of compassionate ground appointment to a child born to the 2nd wife of the employee has been directed based on similar ratio.
3. The matter has, therefore, been reviewed by Board in view of above Judicial pronouncements considering also the views of the Central Agency Section of the Ministry of Law 85 Justice. In partial supersession of Board’s Circular No. E(NG)II/91/RC-1/136 dated 02.01.1992 (RBE No. 1/1992) referred to, it has now been decided that children born to the second wife may also be considered for compassionate appointment even where the second marriage has not been specifically permitted by the administration. However. since compassionate appointment after demise of the Railway employee can be considered for granting to only one dependent family member on merits, a child born to the second wife can be considered for such appointment only after ascertaining that there is no objection to this from the first wife or her children. Where the first wife (legally wedded wife) opts for such compassionate appointment either for herself or one of her own children, such claim will have priority over any competing claim made by the second wife for any of her children.
