Family pension received by spouse of deceased central government employee

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well !

Ordinarily, family pension is paid @ 30% of the pay last drawn by the Government at the time of his retirement/death. However, from 1.1.2006, where a person not governed by the Workmen’s Compensation Act dies while in service after rendering not less than seven years continuous service, the rate of family pension shall be equal to 50% of last pay drawn from the date of death of deceased Government Servant, payable for a period of ten years provided that the deceased employee had completed seven years of continuous service.

Please check the same.

Thanks & Regards,

From what I have read online from FAQ on pension scheme of central civil service the pension amount is 50% of last pay or average of last 10months pay whichever is higher.

From that I guess what you are getting is less.

You can ask the bank about their pension policy.

Since its a family pension it will not be taxed full.

Hi Pratik

We deal in tax related matters. You should consult a lawyer for this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Further, for income tax purposes, your father's ITR for FY 16-17 had to be filed by his legal heirs. Hope you've done so.

Hi

The pension amount is 50% of last pay or average of last 10 months pay whichever is higher. My advise is to check with the bank also.

Also recommend that you consult a good lawyer as well.
