‘Third gender’ category in job application forms

The Department of Social Security & Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) in a letter to all Departments reiterated that every government department must modify existing examination rules and make necessary provisions in both online and offline application forms to recognize transgender persons as a distinct category, alongside male and female.
The move aims to bring the state’s recruitment process in line with the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, which prohibits discrimination against transgender persons in matters of employment.
