Family Pension Rules: Important news for employees! Change in family pension rules! Department issued new order

Family Pension Rules: If no eligible child exists at the time of the woman’s death, the family pension will be payable to the surviving widower. If minor children or disabled children exist, the pension will initially go to the widower, provided he continues to be the guardian of the child.

Family pension rules for government employees: Important news for government employees. The central government has once again changed the pension rules. In this regard, the Pensioner Welfare Department has issued a clarification, which states that government employees cannot remove the names of daughters from the family records after retirement.

The order clearly directs that whether the daughter is entitled to the pension received by the family or not, but now the name of the daughter cannot be removed from the list of eligible members of the family pension. Even if the family is not entitled to the pension, the employees cannot remove the name of their daughters from the record. Apart from this, the department has given instructions to strictly issue all the retirement benefits available under Extraordinary Pension (EOP) as soon as possible.

What does the pension rule say

It has been clarified in the memorandum issued by DoPPW that in the pension format, the daughter is also considered a member of the family of the government employee. Therefore, the name of the daughter should also be included in the list of family members. According to the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2021, if the family has unmarried, married and widowed daughters, apart from step and adopted daughters, the names of all of them should be included in it. Once the name is given by the government servant in the submitted Form 4, the daughter is counted as an official member of the family.

What is family pension, who has the first right?

Any government employee’s family is given an amount of money after his death, which is called family pension. In this pension, the employee names his family members so that his family continues to get financial support after his death. If a child in the house is disabled, then he will be given the first right to get the pension. Apart from this, the daughter (other than suffering from mental or physical disability) can get it until she gets married or becomes financially strong.

Key points for Family Pension

Pending divorce or legal proceedings: Female government employees/pensioners involved in divorce proceedings, or who have filed cases against their husbands under relevant protective acts, can formally request their children to receive family pension in the event of their death.

Family pension disbursement order: If no eligible child exists at the time of the woman’s death, the family pension will be payable to the surviving widower. If minor children or disabled children exist, the pension will initially go to the widower, provided he continues to be the guardian of the child. If the widower ceases to be the guardian, the pension will be paid through the legal guardian. For children who have reached the age of majority but are eligible for family pension, the pension will be transferred directly to them. When all eligible children cease to qualify under Rule 50, the family pension reverts to the widower until his death or remarriage.
