***

Sir,

I am directed to refer to this Ministry’s letter No. 1(07/2013-D(Pension/Policy) dated 15.05.2015 regarding simplification of pension process for permanently disabled children and dependent parents/ siblings for family pension. It has been noticed that name of divorced/ widowed/ unmarried daughter has not been included in MoD letter No. 1/(07)/2013/D(Pension/Policy) dated 15.05.2015 causing delay in sanctioning of family pension to such eligible members 1.e. widowed/divorced/unmarried daughter, although name of such eligible members was a part of DoP&PW OM No. 1/6/08-P&PW(E) dated 22.06.2010.

2. It is, therefore, decided to issue amendment to Gol MoD letter No. 1(07)/2013-D(Pension/Policy) dated 15.05.2015 as under-

(a) For “disabled children/ siblings and dependent parents” read- “permanently disabled child/ children/ siblings/ dependent parents and widowed/ divorced/ unmarried daughter,” wherever it appears in GoI MoD letter dated 15.05.2015.

(b) New clause numbered 5(iii) “To widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters” may be inserted below Para-5(ii) to GoI MoD letter dated 15.05.2015 as under:-

(iii) “To widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters”

In case the eligibility of all the above categories of claimant mentioned in para 5(i) and 5(ii) of GoI, MoD letter no. (7)/2013-D(Pension/Policy) dated 15.05.2015 ceases to be payable, the PDA will allow family pension to such widowed/divorced/ unmarried daughter in their hierarchy of DoB after production of marriage/ re-marriage/ death certificate, as the case may be, in respect of all the categories of claimants mentioned in Sub Para — i) and (i) of para 5 of GoI, MoD letter dated 15.05.2015, if any.”

(c) After inserting above clause in Gol, MoD letter dated 15.05.2015, remaining sub clauses under para -5 may be renumbered in following manner:

  • Existing Clause 5(iii) “To the dependent parents-first mother, then father” to be renumbered as 5(iv)
  • Existing Clause 5(iv) “To the permanently disabled siblings” to be renumbered as 5(v).

3. The word “Farther” in first line of para 5(iii) of GoI, MoD letter no. 1(7)/2013-D(Pension/Policy) dated 15.05.2015 may be replaced by word “Father”.

4. The renumbered para 5(iv) referred above may be amended as follows:-

For: “When claimants in (i) and (ii) die or become ineligible- on production of death certificate/ re-marriage-intimation of spouse and/ or death certificates of all permanently disabled children, family pension would be allowed by PDA to dependent parents.”

Read: “When claimants in (i), (ii) and (iii) die or become ineligible- on production of death certificate/ marriage/ re-marriage -intimation of spouse and/ or on production/ intimation of marriage/ re-marriage/ death certificates (as the case may be) of all the eligible dependent son(s) or daughter(s) including permanently disabled child/children and widowed/ divorced/ unmarried daughter, family pension would be allowed by the PDA to dependent parents.”

5. All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.

6. This issues with the concurrence of the finance Division of this Ministry vide their ID No 10(01)/2015/Fin/Pen dated 18/02/2020.

2. Para 5 (i) of ibid communication prescribes that the official having more length of service in a unit (Circle or Division, as the case may be) will be placed above the official(s) having less length of service in a unit. Accordingly, PwD officials having less service has to be placed below senior officials. As a result, PwD officials have lesser chance for getting their Rule-38 transfer despite exemption in probation period Or 2 years service. The matter has been examined by the Directorate and Competent Authority has decided as under: –

Transfer requests received from Persons with Disabilities shall be registered first in the request registers (inward & outward) above all other officials based on length of their service but below the wait listed PwD officials if any in a particular year. The officials whose transfer request could not be approved in that particular year and are in the waiting list shall be placed on the top in the request register of subsequent year. Thereafter, fresh applications received during 1st April to 30th June of current year shall be registered by giving preferences to PwD officials (based on length of their service) as previously done. Fresh transfer requests received from PwD officials for current year shall be registered above all other officials (Other than pwD) who are in waiting list Of previous year based on length of service.

Also Read : Dept of Posts Instructions regarding Rotational transfer

Further, preference shall also be given to such officials at the time Of their posting in transferee unit subject to administrative constraints.

Four officials namely A, B, C (PwD) & D (PwD) have applied for their transfer under Rule 38 during 1st April to 30th June in the year 2020. A is the senior most among all, B is junior to A, D is junior to B and C is the junior most official. As such, PwD officials shall be registered first in the request register based on length of their service followed by two other officials based on length of their service as well. Accordingly, serial of officials in request register shall be as under: –

Sl.No. Name of the Official
1 D(PwD)
2 C(PwD)
3 A
4 B

Moreover, two officials namely X and Y (PwD) are in waiting list of previous year (2019). Therefore, these two officials shall be placed in top of request register of current year (2020). However, fresh transfer requests received from PwD officials shall be placed above X and below Y (as Y is PWD). Accordingly, serial Of officials in request register for current year (2020) shall be as under :–

Sl.No. Name of the Official
1 Y (PwD)
2 D (PwD)
3 C (PwD)
4 X
