Who is the right person family pension? Govt makes new rule

by

The government makes big changes in the pension system. The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has recently issued an order that the name of a daughter cannot be removed from the family pension list of government employees. Yes, you’ve heard it right. This decision ensures the pension rights of the daughter, although there are separate rules regarding marriage, unmarried, and age.

 

New Rules in the Pension System

According to government rules, children of government employees get family pensions till the age of 25 years. However, if a child is disabled, then he gets the right to pension throughout his life and is entitled to it first. If the daughter is unmarried, she remains entitled to pension. But this right ceases after marriage, except in case the daughter is disabled. But the disabled daughter also loses her right to a pension after marriage. In many circumstances, daughters can get a family pension even after the age of 25. If the daughter is unmarried, widowed, or divorced and other siblings or any family member is not entitled to the pension, then she can be given this benefit.

 

Girls right in pension

The department has directed ministries and departments to pay retirement benefits under Extraordinary Pension (EOP) at the earliest. The move is aimed at avoiding problems like delayed interest payments. The department has clarified that if the daughter is formally recorded as a family member, she will be considered eligible for family pension. This ensures that the rights of daughters are protected. Changing the rules of family pension and securing the rights of daughters is an important step for the financial security of the family.

 

This brings stability to the rights of family members. The new order states that whether the daughter is married or unmarried, her name will remain on the list of family pensions. This decision is an important step towards securing the future of daughters, which will uphold their rights.
