February 9, 2021

Government Relaxed the Rules for Family Pensions for the Disabled

Government relaxes norms for family pension to disabled survivors

A member of the family, including a child / sibling suffering from a disability, is deemed to be earning his livelihood, if his / her income from sources other than family pension, is equal to or more than the minimum family pension i.e. 9000 / – and the Dearness Relief admissible thereon.

Government has issued instructions to liberalise the income criteria for eligibility of a child / sibling of a deceased Government servant / pensioner for grant of family pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. The relaxation is granted for family pension to disabled survivors as they require greater medical care and financial assistance. The Government is of the view that the income criteria for eligibility for family pension, applicable in the case of other family members, may not be applied in the case of a child / sibling suffering from a disability. The Government has, therefore, reviewed the income criteria for eligibility for family pension in respect of a child / sibling, suffering from a disability and has decided that the income criteria for eligibility for family pension to such children / siblings shall commensurate with the amount of the entitled family pension in their case.
