Subject: Clarification on the effect of pension cut on the amount of family pension, in case of death of retired government servant during the currency period-reg

Sir,

Kindly refer to Rule 50(2) of CCS (Pension) Rules 2021 governing the amount of family pension payable to the family of deceased government servants. In this regard, doubts have been expressed on whether the penalty of pension cut would affect the quantum of family pension in case of death of retired government servant during the currency of the penalty.

2. In this connection, the nodal department, i.e., the Department of Pensions and Pensioners’ Welfare has Clarified that the penalty of pension cut imposed on a government servant under Rule 8 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021 is not applicable for payment of family pension. The family pension has to be paid at a uniform rate of 30% of the last basic pay, subject to a minimum of Rs 9000/- per month. However, In Case the family pensioner is entitled to enhanced family pension, the amount of enhanced family pension will not exceed the pension authorized on retirement from government service.

3. All the offices under CBIC are hence directed to bring this to the notice of all the officers dealing with pension matters for strict compliance.

4. This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

Yours faithfully,

(Vijay Rajmohan)
Director
