Rule 76 - Family Pension Claims | KartavyaDesk

CCS Pension

Original Rule Text

(d) If there are more than one member of the family eligible to receive family pension in accordance with these rules and if a member of the family has not submitted his or her claim for family pension in Form 10, the case for issuing Pension Payment Order in favour of such member of family may be processed after his or her claim has been received and the case of other eligible members of the family for grant of family pension may be processed without linking it with the case of the family member who has not submitted the claim in Form 10.

What This Means

Rule 76(d) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021 deals with situations where multiple family members are eligible for family pension, but not all of them have submitted their claim. This rule essentially allows the government to process the family pension claims of those family members who *have* submitted the necessary Form 10, without waiting for the other eligible members to do so. This ensures that eligible family members receive their pension benefits promptly, even if others are delayed in submitting their paperwork. This is particularly helpful when there are disagreements or delays within the family regarding the claim process.

Practical Example

Mr. Sharma, a retired government employee, passed away. His wife, Mrs. Sharma, and his daughter, Ms. Priya Sharma, are both eligible for family pension. Mrs. Sharma promptly submits her claim in Form 10. However, Ms. Priya is currently working abroad and is taking some time to gather the necessary documents. According to Rule 76(d), the pension department can process Mrs. Sharma's claim and start her family pension without waiting for Ms. Priya's claim. Once Ms. Priya submits her Form 10, her claim will be processed separately. This ensures that Mrs. Sharma receives her pension without unnecessary delay.
