Family Pension Scheme By Central Government To Get Updated: 7th Pay Commission

In the midst of the commotion made by the COVID-19 pandemic, the public authority of India has thought of all the simpler and more improved on family benefits rules for focal government representatives. Declaring the progressions in rules made by the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare (DoP&PW), Union Minister Dr. Jitendraa Singh said in a proclamation that there will be new standards set up and temporary family benefits will be given once the receipt of a case for Family Pension and Death Certificate from the qualified relative is affirmed and that too with no essential customs or procedural prerequisites. 

The new principles under the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare (DoP&PW) will bring help for workers who are enduring the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jitendra Singh said, "An arrangement was as of late made for the temporary family annuity to be endorsed quickly on receipt of a case for family benefits and passing authentication from the qualified relative without hanging tight for different conventions or procedural necessities to be finished." This arrangement is further appropriate to passings caused because of the pandemic or a non-COVID issue. 

As indicated by the Rules 80 (A) of the CCS (Pension) Rule 1972, after an administration representative bites the dust doing his/her obligation, the Provisional Family Pension will be endorsed to his/her relatives once the Family Pension case has been given to the Pay and Accounts Office. Yet, presently, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are new directions that suggests that the Provisional Family Pension might be endorsed following getting the Family Pension and Death Certificate from the relative, without hanging tight for sending of the Family Pension case to Pay and Accounts Office. 

In the meantime, the second change that has happened is that the installment of the temporary annuity will be stretched out for one year after the date of retirement with the simultaneousness of PAO and after the endorsement by the Head of the Department. Fundamentally, on the off chance that we take a gander at Rule 64 of CCS (Pension), 1972, it says that temporary annuity must be allowed for a half year, particularly in situations when an administration worker is probably going to resign before the finish of his benefits. 

Dr. Jitendra Singh said, "In the wake of the pandemic, the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare has been, every once in a while, delicately reacting to every one of the issues worried about Pensioners and senior residents. Changes are likewise being attempted in like manner."
