Is family pension payable to more than one person at a time? |

Answer» Normally, the family pension is payable to one eligible member at a time. However, in certain specific cases, the family pension is divided among eligible members of the family. The family pension will be paid in equal shares where the deceased Govt. servant or pensioner is survived by – (a) More than one widow (except in the case of Hindu widow or where polygamy/polyandry is not allowed). (b) A widow and an eligible child through another widow which she would have received had she been alive. (c) A widow and an eligible child from a divorced/illegally wedded wife; the child will be entitled to the share of family pension which the mother would have received had she not been divorced/ had she been legally wedded. (d) Twin, triplet or quadruplet children In all the above cases, on the death of one recipient, his/her share of the family pension shall become payable to other member(s) of family who was/were sharing family pension with him/her. |
