Dear veteran brothers,
This article is regarding the Divided Family pension;
Divided pension is normally granted to 2nd wife( lawfully) and eligible any one of the children of first wife- , or 1st wife and children of 2nd wife. Equal share i.e 50% each.
In a Divided family pension cases, where one pensioner died, the surviving pensioner is automatically become eligible for full pension, 100%, that is restoration of full pension instead of the existing 50%
To get this benefit, the death of pensioner is to be intimated to PDA ( Bank ) as well as the CDA or Sparsh, if already migrated, with full particulars , PPO no, Bank and account No etc, along with a copy of death certificate. This is done by the living pensioner or the relatives of the deceased pensioner..
Sparsh Migrated case: this event is to be reported in the Sparsh Portal- without Login-
Services- Report events heading- Death Report/ Family pension/stoppage of pension- by furnishing full particulars as per the format in the system -like details of the deceased and the claimant ( Death certificate, Bank details to be uploaded )
After verifying the generousness of the case (death ) . the CDA /Sparsh will issue a corr, PPO informing the PDA /*SPARSH to pay full pension to the surviving pensioner –
This is called RESTORATION OF FULL PENSION.
On receipt of this instructions , corr.PPO, the PDA or Sparsh authorities will start paying full pension.to the living pensioner. .
All our veterans are requested to note and guide the affected pensioners.
FOR INFORMATION OF OUR VETERANS
This is regarding the eligibility of Family pension to a Judicially Separated spouse.
We are all in a opinion that a Divorced Spouse is not eligible for family pension after the death of pensioner. But it is not so;
If a male Govt.servant dies leaving behind a Judicially separated widow and no child or children , the family pension shall be payable to the widow . If the judicial separation was granted on the ground of ADULTERY and the widow was held guilty of committing Adultery, no Family pension shall be payable.
In a normal Divorce, the widow shall be eligible for Family pension.
As per CCS Pension Rule 1972, Sub Rule- 54 ( 11-A and 11-B) ,
A divorced Widow other than Adultery case, is eligible for family pension after the death of pensioner under the following conditions:
a) If there is no Child or children or children become In-eligible , the Family pension shall be payable to the Divorced widow till her death or remarriage which ever is earlier.
b) If the child or children are Minor, then the divorced widow is eligible for Family pension as a Guardian for the children.
Note:
Here , some times the parents of the deceased , ( married pensioner) claim for family pension stating that the widow was divorced with their son, hence no pension to her and family pension may be granted to Mother or father of the deceased.
This situation is applicable only if the deceased was a bachelor and not in case of Married person. After marriage, all the benefits go to spouse or children only.
All our veterans may please note the same for reference.
VERY VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Many of the pensioners hesitate in filing IT returns, but there is an important information that shows that filing IT returns has a great advantage to the families of Pensioners at the time of any accidental death of the pensioner.
As per section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 ( Supreme court Judgment under civil appeal No.9858 of 1953 ),
In case, a pensioner died in an accident, his family is entitled to 10 times of average income of the last three years , provided he had filed the IT returns for the last three years.
For Example:
If the monthly pension of a pensioner is 25000/- , then his annual income will be 25000 X 12= 3,00000/-. Average income of the last three years say 300000/-, then his family will get 10 times of 3 Lacs- 300000 X 10 = 30,00,000/- 30 Lacs from Government .No other proof , other than IT returns will be required by the court. So, filing of IT returns regularly , even NIL returns by the pensioner will go a long way in providing a BIG economic relief to the bereaved family of the pensioner on his/ her death by accident.
Failure to file IT returns due to ignorance about this information will lead to a great loss to the family of the pensioner .
All our ESM associations are requested to pass on this message to our veterans in their areas.
Dear veteran brothers,
We have published in our blog regarding the eligibility of Service Element and Disability element for invalided pensioners who were gtanted only Disability element ,
There are still many veterans are drawing only DISABILITY ELEMENT.. The order from DOPPW is cear to pay both SE and DE from 01--01-2006.
The affected veterans may take up their case for getting this benefit . You can approach us also for guidance and help.
Dear veteran brothers,
We had already published the same article. Once again we are publishing the same as still some banks have not included the service element, paying Disabilityelement only..
There was a provision for granting DISABILITY ELEMENT only for those
who were boarded out with less than 10 yrs of service prior to 1-1-2006..
Now, our Govt., on considering the sufferings of such veterans , has published
an order in 2020 for granting both Service element and Disability for such veterans
Whether Pre or Post 2006 invalided out veterans w.e.f 01-01-2006.
The Dept of Pension and Pension welfare has issued an order on 28-7-2020.
We understand that , still some Banks are paying only Disability element .
The Order is very clear to pay both SERVICE ELEMENT and DISABILITY ELEMENT to such veterans w/e/f 1-1-2006.
The affected veterans may approach their Bank branches for getting this benefit
or they can approach our Trust office for guidance and help.
