MORE ABOUT THE SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION:
Special Family pension is sanctioned
to the Next of Kin of the PBOR whose death is attributed to or aggravated to Military service conditions.
It may occur during service or after discharge from service.
Special Family pension is
also granted when a Disability pensioner dies before or within 7 yrs of discharge/ Invalidment, subject to
fulfillment of certain conditions- Death due to accident or suicide after
discharge is not eligible.
If a disability death
occurs after discharge, the NOK has to intimate the cause of death with Medical/
postmortem report to Record office and claim for Special Family pension. The RO
will forward the claim to CDA and the Sanctioning authorities will sanction
Special Family pension if the conditions are fulfilled otherwise only ordinary
family pension..
Special Family pension is
calculated at uniform Rate of 60% of reckonable emolument subject to a minimum of Rs.2550 w.e.f 1-1-96
and Rs.7000/ w.e.f 1-1-2006.(CDA cir 282 and 410,456) This rate varies
according to Rank and Group. It is granted for life.
The Special family pension
is granted to Spouse first, then eligible child in the same Rate, and after
these both , it is granted to the
Dependent Parent as second award. In case if there is no spouse or child , the
first award will go to the Mother as first award.
NOTE:
Special Family pension is granted for the benefit of Entire family. Therefore,
if the recipient does not support other dependant family members, the competent
Authorities may at their discretion divide the Special Family pension in such a
Ratio as deemed fit.
For example:
If the widow in receipt of
SFP, does not support the dependent Mother-in Law, the competent authority after through enquiry may divide the SFP
between the widow and the Mother-in Law in the Ratio of 50 : 50 . Then , after the death of mother-in-Law, the
50 will be restored back to the widow.
Re-marriage of widow will
not be a disqualification and the widow
will continue to be the recipient of Special Family pension, provided she
supports the Child/ Children born to
veteran, the previous marriage.
SECOND AWARD OF SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION:
Second Life award of
Special Family pension is sanctioned to the Parents of PBOR, i.e after the death of original recipient and in the absence of eligible Children . There after, it will go to the eligible brothers/
Sisters up to certain period as per
rule. The claimant has to represent the case . This has to be sanctioned by the
Pension Sanctioning Authority , the CDA.
The Rate of Second award
of SFP is 50 % of the first award. Eg. If the first award was 2550, second
award is 1275 and if 7000, then the second will be 3500/-.
