Dear querist, in which State government or central government? if the husband served a minimum service (generally it is 60 days to 90 days) and if she applies for the job within a year from the date of her husband's death. Then she is eligible for a suitable post.

Yes, she can apply and get compassionate service as per rules of department/employer.

She can apply. But getting appointment is not assured - it depends on many a factor. Such appointment is a concession than a right.

I agree with the views of Mr. Venu. Compassionate appointment is not a matter of right. It is only a concession(compassion). This depends on the service in which the deceased was working. If it is a private company no guarantee. Even if it is in public service, the management may take into account the length of service put in by the deceased and other factors.

it is not the length of service which is taken into account rather the assets and liabilities let by with him.
It can be applied within reasonable time and the appointment is restricted to 5% DR quota (to be given to most deserving applicants) on the lowest Gp-C&D post irrespective of the qualification of the applicant.
