DIVIDED FAMILY PENSION REGARDING

                                              

Dear veteran brothers, 

This article  is regarding the  Divided Family pension;

Divided pension is normally granted to  2^nd wife( lawfully)   and eligible any one of the children of first wife- ,  or 1^st wife and children of 2^nd 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 –

FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR VETERANS

 

                                              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.
