Document Type: Government Resolution (शासन निर्णय)
Reference Number: MYS-0120/Pr.Cr.15/RAUSU-1, dated 5 August 2021
Issued By: Government of Maharashtra, Home Department (गृह विभाग)
Effective Date: 5 August 2021
Summary:
This Government Resolution grants an exemption from the requirement to obtain a Computer Literacy Certificate (MS-CIT) to the deceased Deputy Director of State Excise, Shri Syed Muzzaffar Karri, Aurangabad, based on his age at the time of death (49 years). The resolution is issued posthumously to recognize that Shri Karri had reached the age threshold (50 years) that would have exempted him from the certification requirement under the Maharashtra Civil Service (Computer Knowledge) Rules, 1999. This exemption is granted to ensure that his widow, Smt. Syed Asma Nadir Syed Muzzaffar Karri, continues to receive family pension (कुटुंब निवृत्तीवेतन) at the July 2011 salary level rather than 2018 levels, as the blocked salary increments from 2011 onwards are now waived.
Deceased Officer: Shri Syed Muzzaffar Karri, Deputy Director (दुय्यम निरीक्षक), State Excise Department, Aurangabad
Date of Death: 7 June 2018 (7.6.2018)
Age at Death: 49 years complete
Applicable Rule: Maharashtra Civil Service (Computer Knowledge) Rules, 1999 — Rule 6 (महाराष्ट्र नागरी सेवा (संगणक ज्ञान) नियम, 1999 — नियम 6)
Exemption Granted: Exemption from obtaining Computer Literacy Certificate (MS-CIT) — संगणक अर्हता प्रमाणपत्र (MS-CIT) सादर करण्यापासून सूट
Justification: Shri Karri had not submitted the MS-CIT certificate, leading to the blocking of his annual salary increments (वार्षिक वेतनवाढ) from 2011 onwards. Under Rule 6 of the 1999 Rules, government servants who complete 50 years of age are exempted from the computer literacy requirement. Since Shri Karri died at 49 years, he technically did not qualify for the age-based exemption during his lifetime; however, the Government now grants this exemption posthumously.
