| Procedure for Endorsement of Family Pension Entitlement of Post-Retiral Spouses in the PPO |
|
| (i) |
As and when a pensioner marries or re-marries after
retirement, he shall intimate the event to the Head of Office who processed
his pension papers at the time of his retirement. He shall also furnish
along with his application an attested copy of the marriage in respect of
his post-retirement marriage. |
| (ii) |
The Head of Office on receipt of the application
mentioned above and after due verification where necessary, forward the
papers to the concerned Pay & Accounts Officer for issue of corrigendum PPO.
While forwarding the papers to the Pay & Account Officer, the provisions of
Clause (b) of sub-rule (7) of
Rule 54 of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972,
shall be kept in mind. When the pensioner does not have any child or
children from his previous marriage, if any, the post-retiral spouse shall
be eligible for full family pension. Where the pensioner has any eligible
child or children from another wife who is not alive, the family pension to
the post-retiral spouse and the child/children from the previous marriage
will be authorized in terms of clause (b) of sub-rule (7) of
Rule 54 ibid. |
| (iii) |
The corrigendum PPO shall be forwarded by the Pay &
Accounts Officer to the concerned Pension Disbursing Authority through the
Central Pension Accounting Office. A copy of the corrigendum PPO shall also
be endorsed to the pensioner. |
| (iv) |
As far as children, including those born after
retirement, are concerned, a fresh PPO will be issued as and when the turn
of each child for receipt of family pension is reached as at present.
