certificate, involve an absence of an employee for more than 28 months from regular duties, or

as to remove him from contact with his regular work or to cause difficulties in the concerned
Directorate owing to his absence on leave.

CLASSIFICATION OF DISABILITY

CLASS 'A':
a. Loss of a hand and a foot or loss of use of two or more limbs.
b. Total loss of eye-sight.
c. Total loss of speech.
d. Total deafness both ears.
e. Paraplegia or hemiplegia.
f. Lunacy.
g. Very severe facial disfigurement.
h. Advanced cases of incurable disease.
i. Wounds, injuries or diseases resulting in a disability due to which a person becomes
incapacitated.
Provided that wounds, injuries or disease of limb resulting in damage of nerves, joints, or
muscles making the whole of limb useless would mean loss of that limb. Cases in which
a partial function is retained will not be included in this class. However if the partial
retention of function does not help in walking in case of leg or does not help in holding an
object even with partial efficiency, it should be considered as total loss of function. Those
cases will also be included in this class where the earning capacity of the employee has
been totally impaired due to the invaliding disability.
CLASS 'B':
a. Loss of thumb or at least three fingers of hand.
b. Partial loss of one or both feet at or beyond tars metatarsal joint.
c. Loss of vision of one eye.

PART- II
PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING ATTRIBUTION TO SERVICE
OF DISABILITY

(A) CASUALTIES DUE TO WOUND OR INJURY:

1. It should be established in such cases that the cause of the casualty was the result of duty in
service.
2. Where the injury resulted from the risk inherent in service attributability will be conceded.
3. An individual is on duty for 24 hours of the day except when on leave other than casual leave.
4. An individual will be deemed to be in the performance of duty when
i. he is physically present in his headquarters;
ii. he is travelling on leave at Authority’s expense;
iii. when travelling to or from duty (e. g., from residence to place of
duty and back but not whilst he is in his residence);
iv. whilst travelling on duty i. e., where it is established that but for the duty he would have not
been travelling at all; or
v. disability resulting from purely personal acts as shaving or similar private pursuits would not
normally be treated as attributable to service.

5. Disability resulting from violence provoked by performance of duty will be viewed as attributable
to service unless the circumstances of the case warrant a different conclusion.
6. If circumstances are such that service played no part in the causation of disability, attributability
will not be conceded.

Illustration: If a person driving a motor cycle etc., on duty, collides with a truck the injury
received may be attributed to service but if he is out for a walk and sustains injury from a passing
truck, his case will not qualify for the concession.

(B) CASUALTIES DUE TO DISEASE:

1. The cause of disability resulting from a disease will be regarded as attributable to service only
when it is directly due to risks which may be regarded as peculiar to the circumstances of duty in
service. In determining attributability in such cases due regard should be paid to the question
whether service in a particular region, or of a particular type involved exposure to exceptional risk
of contraction of, or infection by, a disease, as well as to the actual circumstances of the case.
2. Attributability will not be conceded, if, though contracted during the period of actual performance
of duty, the disease is, in the opinion of the medical authorities concerned, due to risks which
cannot be regarded as peculiar to such duty in service.
3. Where a disease or its aggravation resulted from the risk of duty attributability/aggravation will be
conceded.
4. All cases of tuberculosis and bronchial asthma will be accepted as attributable to or aggravated
by service where the medical opinion is in favour of the acceptance.
5. Attributability/aggravation in all cases of Cardiac disease will be determined in accordance with
the guidelines mentioned at the end of this part.
6. Where medical or other supporting documents arc incomplete, cases will be dealt with on merits
with due regard to medical opinion and other evidence.

30/09/2014 125 CSRG-001-HRXX-1.0


CAA SERVICE REGULATIONS-2014

GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING ATTRIBUTABILITY/AGGRAVATION


IN CASES OF CARDIAC DISEASES
1. There are many pre-disposing factors which may precipitate an attack of coronary occlusion. No
single factor can be pin-pointed as being responsible for such an attack. It is, therefore, not easy to
lay any hard and fast rule for awarding attributability/aggravation in such cases. For the guidance of
medical and administrative authorities some of the factors which may precipitate the attack of heart
disease are enumerated below:-

a) Physical exertion.-Coronary occlusion is known to have occurred during or immediately


following physical exertion. Physical exertion may not necessarily be of an unusual character,
i.e., lifting of a heavy bundle, pushing a stalled vehicle or an up-hill climbing have in many
instances been followed by an attack of Coronary occlusion. The effects of exertion are worse if
the individual is unduly fatigued, has lack of sleep or is under emotional stress. Attributability will
be conceded if a person under-going stress and strain, pressure and counter-pressure by virtue
of the nature of his duties, develops psychiatric problem.
b) Emotional strain. The occurrence of Coronary disease in person who had been under an un-
usually severe and protracted emotional strain points to a probable relationship between the two.
Separation from families, uncongenial atmosphere, frequent moves, all add to mental strain and
psychological trauma.

2. The question of attributability/aggravation of heart diseases on occurrence in otherwise a normal


individual who is subjected to the above mentioned factors will, therefore, have to be considered and
decided in the light of known history and merits of each case.
3. While dealing with such cases due precaution will be exercised by all concerned to carefully bring out
detailed merits of the case as award of attributability/aggravation depends on their candid opinion.

30/09/2014 133 CSRG-001-HRXX-1.0


CAA SERVICE REGULATIONS-2014

Note - (3)An employee who during the course of his tour returns temporarily to headquarters on
Sunday or a public holiday to attend to his private business is not entitled to draw daily allowance
for the day or days spent at headquarters.

99. MAXIMUM PERIOD FOR WHICH DAILY ALLOWANCE IS ADMISSIBLE:


(1) Daily allowance may not be drawn for a continuous halt of more than fifteen days at any one
place:
(2) Provided that a Competent Authority may, if it is satisfied that prolonged halts are necessary
in the interest of the Authority, grant general or individual exemptions from the operation of
this regulation, on such conditions including reduction in the amount or rate of daily
allowance, as it deems fit.

Note - (1)In granting exemptions from the operation of this Regulation the Competent
Authority may impose such conditions as it deems fit. One such condition is the reduction in
the amount of the daily allowance that may be drawn and the principle underlying this
reduction is that the expense incurred by an employee in respect of a halt at an out-station
ordinarily decreases in proportion to the length of his stay at that station. This principle
should be borne in mind by the authorities to whom powers, under this Regulation have been
delegated and the rate of daily allowance should be suitably reduced after the first fifteen
days in all cases except those which present very special features. Cases in which special
treatment can be justified will be generally those in which the halt of an employee at an out-
station is of uncertain duration which makes it impossible for him to arrange for more
permanent and cheaper accommodation.

Note - (2)Casual leave taken during tour may be excluded in computing the period of fifteen
days referred to in this Regulation.

100. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE REGULATIONS:


(1) After a continuous halt of fifteen days' duration, the halting place shall be regarded as the
employee’s temporary headquarters.
(2) A halt is continuous unless terminated by an absence on duty at a distance from the halting
place outside the city limits for a period of not less than three nights.
(3) Provided that when an employee returns to his headquarters, the halt is terminated, even
though the return is for less than three nights.
