IMPORTANCE OF NOMINATION FOR PENSION ACCOUNTS

 

Dear Veteran brothers,

We all should know the importance of  Nomination to our pension account.

Every pensioner/ Family pensioner is advised to  furnish Nomination to our Bank.  

As per RBI instructions, we can Nominate 4 persons  as nominees in  order  with % to each of them

If the spouse is alive, she is the first  Nominee and there is no problem. 

When a  Nomination is registered  with the Bank,  it is easy to settle the account in the event  of death of pensioner.

We can avoid submission of many documents like,  Affidavit, Indemnity Bond, Surety letters, Legal heir certificate, consent from other heirs and so  on.

When a Nomination is available,  the nominee need to submit  Death certificate of pensioner,  and proof his nomination and  genuineness of the nominee.   If the Nominee has account with  the same Bank, then it is easy,  

Hence, all pensioners are advised to  Register Nomination in NOMINATION FORM A  to their bank  pension account to avoid  delay  and harassment  in settling the account  after their death.

If the nomination is registered, it will be notified in our Bank. pass book.

 this Form.

Dear All,

Supreme Court of India on 12 February 2026, in Union of India v. SGT Girish Kumar & Ors (Civil Appeal Nos. 6820–6824 of 2018 and connected matters), held that the statutory three-year limitation period cannot be invoked to cap arrears of disability pension once entitlement has been judicially established.

Key Holds of the Judgment

The Bench (Justices Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha and Alok Aradhe) examined appeals arising from conflicting orders of the Armed Forces Tribunal — some of which restricted arrears to three years before filing, while others granted full arrears from specified cut-off dates (e.g., 01 Jan 1996 or 01 Jan 2006).

The Supreme Court held that disability pension is a recurring and vested right — it is not a mere bounty, but a deferred part of compensation once the governing conditions are satisfied.

Once entitlement to broad-banded disability pension stands judicially affirmed (particularly through the earlier three-Judge Bench decision in Union of India v. Ram Avtar, which was treated as a judgment in rem), arrears flowing from that entitlement cannot be truncated by reference to a three-year limitation, delay, or laches.

The Court therefore dismissed the Union of India’s appeals against Tribunal orders that granted full arrears and quashed Tribunal orders that had limited arrears to three years prior to filing.
