How can I claim family pension


23-Jul-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
A Govt. pensioner got her pension and all retiring benefit after her retirement on 2008. As there was no nomination and/or any mention of husband in any where of her service book, family pension was not issued at that time. Subsequently, a man has submitted a claim as husband of the said pensioner for his post-retrial marriage with her. But he could not submit marriage certificate or any valid document like legal hair certificate etc except voter card and one gift deed made by the pensioner in his favour as husband in support of his claim. Now, My query - Is he eligible for family pension ?

Who are and how are you related to this query?
This is required to be known to give reply to your query in proper perspective.
By mere 'yes' or 'no' this query can not be resolved.

Acc to the pension Rules - Every govt.servant has to confirm in intial confirmation of his service in form 1 or 2 about the persons being nominated for death gratuity or other benefits.Unless the names are reflected in such form no person can claim such benefits inspite of being a family member. So acc. to your statement the alleged person's name is not reflected anywhere in the service book or nomination form.Which means his claims are baseless and unreasonable.
