       IMPORTANT NOTES / CONDITIONS / PENALTIES

       Policy Implementation Framework

       1. Review Requirement:

          • Posts must be reviewed and re-evaluated at intervals not exceeding 3 years to ensure continued suitability and compliance.

          • Functional Suitability Match:

            • Each disability category can only be assigned to posts where the functional requirements of the post match the functional capabilities of the person with disability.
            • Example: A person with Low Vision (LV) can be assigned to posts marked (a) B, LV because both B and LV have similar functional requirements.
            • A blind person cannot be assigned to a post requiring "Seeing (SE)" unless MD (Multiple Disabilities) provisions allow flexibility.

            • Multiple Disability Provision:

              • Posts marked with (e) MD (involving a–d above) indicate that persons with multiple disabilities combining any of the specified categories (a, b, c, d) are also eligible.

              • No Exclusion Without Legal Basis:

                • Per Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities Rights Act, 2016, no person with disability can be excluded from government service based solely on disability, unless the functional requirements genuinely necessitate exclusion.

                • Compliance & Authority:

                  • This GR is binding on:
                    • Commissioner, State Excise, Maharashtra
                    • All departmental officers and officials
                    • All administrative units under State Excise Department
                    • Non-compliance may attract disciplinary action under service rules.
