" WISH YOUALL, THE COUNTRY MEN AN WOMEN A VERY HAPPY
79TH INDEPENDENCE DAY "
Nowadays, when a Veteran expired, and whose pension account is migrated to SPARSH, we have to report the Death event to Sparsh online. Then Initiate family pension.
Here for confirmation of death, we have to upload the Death certificate and Bank details to Sparsh and we get the Token Number for following up. This is the position.
Now, we came across FEW cases, where the name in Death certificate and PPO differ.
For Example: Name in PPO: PICHANDI MUTHAIAH and in /death Certificate only MUTHAIAH.
When we up loaded the death certificate, it is Rejected. Hence, we could not go for Initiate Family pension option. Thus, the switching over to family pension is held up.
The village Admin officer says, the name in death certificate can not be changed. He can give a DUAL NAME certificate only in this case. Like the names MUTHAIAH AND PICHANDI MUTHIAH pertains to one and the same person-
WHEN WE SUBMITTED THE DUALnAME CERTIFICATE, with lots of quiries, the certificate was accepted but took about ONE year to get family pension.
Dear Veteran brothers, and our ESM associations, may please note this happening . You are all requested to guide the NOK or the relatives of the deceased veterans when you attend the funeral function, , to obtain DEATH CERTIFICATE WITH THE NAME AS IN TH PPO ONLY. Also the name of spouse as in the PPO to avoid such hardship at later stage so as to have a smooth switch to family pension.
WISH OUR CHJIEF LAISON OFFICER VET.SGT.S.KANTHIAH
"A HAPPY 85TH BIRTH DAY (03-08-1941) "
WE PRAY GOD TO GIVE HIM A LONG, HALE AND HEALTHY LIFE TO SERVE
FOR OUR EX-SERVICMEN COMMUNITY,

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.
