My name is Vamsi Krishna. My father, an Andhra Bank employee, passed away on January 8, 2001. We haven’t received a job or ex gratia payment yet. We recently learned that compassionate appointments were reinstated in national banks. Is there a possibility for me to get a job through this scheme?

It is unlikely you are eligible for a compassionate appointment. The scheme applies to dependents of employees who died in service, meaning death while actively employed. Since your father passed away in 2001, you likely do not meet this criteria. However, you can inquire with Andhra Bank for more specific information.
