Sharing of Family Pension to Eligible Widows or Children

March 24, 2023 Ekanathan Leave a Comment

The Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2021 have a provision (Rule 50(8)) for the sharing of family pension in the event of the death of a Government servant/pensioner. The widow/widower is entitled to receive a family pension until the date of death or remarriage, whichever happens earlier. If the deceased individual is survived by more than one widow, the family pension is to be shared equally among them. If a widow is no longer eligible or passes away, her share of the pension can be paid to her eligible children. If there are no eligible children, her share of the pension will be distributed equally among the remaining widows or in full to the only surviving widow.

The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) recently released an order specifying the specifics of distributing family pension among qualifying widows or children.
