IMPORTANCE OF HAVING JOINT ACCOUNT WITH SPOUSE FOR PENSION.
We had, Time and again advised our veterans to convert the existing Pension account in to JOINT ACCOUNT with their spouse .
For this , JOINT NOTIFICATION should have been published. ppo LIKE S/JN / 12347/2026
Now, for the last few months , more than 3 veterans have died. All of them were having only SINGLE account.
Though the JOINT NOTIFICATION was there, due to this single a/c , their SPOUSE have to open, Bank account for the credit of their pension. Here, they have to establish the genuineness, that is , wife of so and so.
More over, they have to submit Documents like Form 14, Non-Marriage certificate, Widowhood, Declaration, Descriptive Roll, Aadhar and PAN card etc.
If there had been Joint account, only a written intimation along with death certificate will be enough to change over to Family pension.
Now, the poor WIDOW has to run, pillar to post for getting her pension.
It may take more than 3 to 6 months time to get the pension and the widow has to face the financial hardship for running the family.
All our Ex-Servicemen Associations are once again requested to advise our veterans in their areas suitably to have JOINT ACCOUNT with their spouse.
