Family Pension to Parents

Grant of Family Pension to dependent Parents of a deceased Govt Servant.

It is hereby clarified that in case the deceased Govt Servant is not survived by a widow/widower of a child, the dependent parents become directly eligible to receive family pension. In cases where a deceased Govt Servant is survived by a widow/widower or a child, and the position changes subsequently because of death or re-marriage of the spouse and/or death or ineligibility of child/children, including a disabled child, the dependent parents become eligible for family pension. However, in terms of this Dept OM No. 38/37/08-P&PQ (A) Dt. 02.09.08, a childless widow, subject to dependency criteria, is entitled to the family pension even after her re-marriage. In such an event, the parents of the deceased employee become entitled tot he family pension only after the childless widow dies or when her independent income from all other sources becomes equal to or higher than that prescribed for dependency criterion under the Rules.
