The DoPPW has issued a clarification on the amount admissible in case a child is eligible to draw two family pensions after the death of his or her parents.
Singh said that the amount of both the family pensions will now be restricted to Rs 1,25,000 per month, which is more than two and half times higher than the earlier limit.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday stated that in a far-reaching reform regarding family pensions the upper ceiling has been raised from Rs 45,000 to Rs 1,25,000 per month. He said the move will bring “Ease of Living” for the family members of the deceased employees and would provide adequate financial security to them.
