TOW FAMILY PENSIONS TO THE WIDOWS OF THE RE-EMPLOYED EX-SERVICEMEN. -CLARIFICATION.



Government of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Department of Pension and Pensioner’s Welfare through its Office Memorandum No. 1/19/96-P&PW(E) dt.19/7/2002 allowed family pension under the EPF Scheme 1995 and the FPS 1971 in addition to the Family Pension under Rule 54 of the CCS (Pension) Rules 1972. This benefit is available from 27.7.2001. It means that all the widows of the re-employed ex-servicemen, whose husbands were drawing two separate pensions and died before 27.7.2001 and after 27.7.2001 are now eligible for two family pensions. In some cases, the re-employers such as the Nationalized Banks, PSUs like the Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, etc., who are having EPF scheme 1995 released the family pension to the widow immediately. After accepting this EPF scheme 1995 pension. But, still it appears that some banks are not implementing the same. Here is an example.

Dear Sir,
The OM was issued as early 2002.This OM allows the second family pension only if it is under EPF 1995 & 1971.The EPF 95 scheme is purely contributory scheme. The Pension fund is contributed by the Employer not by Govt. Therefore the Govt. had allowed this EPF 95 pension. All Banks run the same scheme. The individual banks contribute for the employees pension fund and not the government. The scheme is run by the Bank themselves instead of EPFO. This position is to be explained to all administrative authorities to enable the widows of the re-employed exservicemen to get bank pension in addition to Defence family pension.
Banks pension scheme and EPF 1995 scheme are one and the same. In both the cases, the employer is contributing the pension fund.
Govt. should issue clarification to enable the affected widows to get pension. The ESM welfare associations should represent to MOD and Dept. Pension & Pensioners Welfare.
Thank you,
C.Muthukrishnan.
