Government relaxes norms for family pension to disabled survivors

Government has issued instructions to liberalise the income criteria for eligibility of a child/sibling of a deceased Government servant/pensioner for grant of family pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. The relaxation is granted for family pension to disabled survivors as they require greater medical care and financial assistance. The Government is of the view that the income criteria for eligibility for family pension, applicable in the case of other family members, may not be applied in the case of a child/sibling suffering from a disability. The Government has, therefore, reviewed the income criteria for eligibility for family pension in respect of a child/sibling, suffering from a disability and has decided that the income criteria for eligibility for family pension to such children/siblings shall commensurate with the amount of the entitled family pension in their case.

Accordingly, Department of Pension & PW has issued instructions/orders on 08.02.2021that a child/sibling of a deceased Government servant/pensioner, who is suffering from a mental or physical disability, shall be eligible for family pension for life, if his/her overall income, other than family pension, is less than the entitled family pension at ordinary rate i.e. 30% of the last pay drawn by the deceased Government servant/pensioner plus the Dearness Relief admissible thereon.

As per Rule 54(6) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, a child/sibling of a deceased Government servant or pensioner, suffering from a mental or physical disability, is eligible for family pension for life if he or she is suffering a disability which renders him unable to earn his livelihood. Presently, a member of the family, including a child/sibling suffering from a disability, is deemed to be earning his livelihood, if his/her income from sources other than family pension, is equal to or more than the minimum family pension i.e. 9000/- and the Dearness Relief admissible thereon.

In the case of a child/sibling, suffering from a mental or physical disability, whois presently not in receipt of a family pension due to non-fulfilment of the earlier income criteria, family pension shall be granted to him/her, if he/she fulfils the new income criteria and also fulfilled the other conditions for grant of family pension at the time of death of Government servant or pensioner or previous family pensioner. The financial benefits, in such cases, shall, however, accrue prospectively and no arrears for the period from the date of death of Government servant/ pensioner/previous family pensioner shall be admissible.

Subject: Review of Instructions on inclusion of HRA and Transport Allowance for the purpose of calculating Overtime Allowance under the Factories Act, 1948.

Reference: This federation’s letter of even No. Dated 12.07.2018, 22.11.2020

Respected Sir,

With due regards, your attention is invited to the letter cited under reference on the subject matter whereby MoL&E, Govt of India has been requested to issue necessary clarification/instructions so that disparity amongst the civilian employees of Min of Defence & Min of Railways may be removed.

It is worth to mention here that Hon’ble CAT Hyderabad Bench ordered on 04.04.2014 in OA No. 1372/2012 and Hon’ble CAT Principal Bench ordered on 25.04.2018 in OA No. 650/2016 in favour of employees.

Recently, Hon’ble CAT, Kolkata Bench ordered on 11.11.2020 in OA No. 350/705/2020 in favour of employees for inclusion of allowances like HRA, Transport Allowance & Small Family Allowance and Ordnance Factory Dum Dum, Kolkata under OFB/MoD has issued the compliance order in favour of petitioners.

However, it is regretfully reminded that the matter is still pending in Min of Labour & Employment, Govt of India which is causing discontentment amongst the non-petitioner civilian employees of MoD.

Therefore, you are requested to expedite the matter.

Thanking you.

Sincerely yours
