All the pre-1.1.1986 pensioners may be brought to the level of 1.1.1986 by notional fixation of pay of the deceased employee from First Pay Commission to the subsequent Pay Commissions in the same way as was done for serving employees and thereafter the rates of a family pension as may be introduced on implementation of Fifth Pay Commission's recommendations may be applied. Once the past family pensioners are brought on to the level recommended by the Fourth Pay Commission, they should be given the same treatment regarding quantum of fitment weightage as may be given to the serving employees. If the amount of family pension so fixed falls short of 30% of the minimum pay of the post held by the deceased employee, as revised by the Fifth Pay Commission, the family pension would be stepped up to 30% of the minimum pay of the post held by the deceased. (134.30) |
Accepted to the extent that family pension of all pre-1.1.1996 family pensioners, including pre-1986 family pensioners shall be consolidated as on 1.1.1996 as recommended but, the consolidated family pension shall be brought on the level of 30% of the minimum of the pay of the post held by the deceased, and the same shall not be less than Rs. 1275/-. |
