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.

GOOD INFORMATION TO OUR MILITRAY VETERANS

 

DEAR ETERAN BROTHERS,

Here is a very important and useful  information.    Kindly go through and   utilise the facility.

VERY USEFUL MESSAGE FOR VETERANS AND FAMILY PENSIONERS.

 

AN IMPORTANT   INFORMATION TO OUR VETERANS.

  Dear veterans,

  we are all in an Opinion that  DUAL family pension is eligible for  all Re-employed  Ex-Servicemen families (cir 504).

Here is a special message in this regard. 

There are  some widows are eligible for Special  or liberalized family pension for the  first service i.e Military service .

Where the death or disability was due to Attributable to service causes. .Hence Special  or Liberalised Family pension..

In such cases, where the family is in receipt of Special Family pension,  or  Liberalised Family pension,  she is not eligible for  same Special or Liberalised Family pension for the second service. ( Ref; MOD ltr. No: PC:2(6) /2013-D ( Pen/Pol) dated 08-07-2019. )

She is eligible for ORDINARY FAMILY PENSION FOR THE SECOND SERVICE.

 Such cases are rare but it is to be noted.   Just by referring CDA cir 504,  we should not think that the families drawing SFP  is  also eligible for one more SFP  for the second service.       These instructions  are clearly  spelled in CDA cir 626 dated 19-08-2019.

 Our veterans are requested to convey this message to other veterans in their areas.
