Amend name in service book

Page no : 3

P. Venu (Advocate)     11 September 2017

Family pension is governed by statutory provisions. It cannot be denied just because the family details furnished by the deceased Government servant suggests a minor discrepancy. In fact, this is not at all discrepancy at all, as the learned expert Shri GLN Prasad has suggested.

Legally speaking, whether a particular person is the spouse of the deceased Government servant is a question of fact, not of mere records.

As matter stand now, the family of the deceased Government servant needs to do naything more than submit the application in the prescribed proforma. Clarification could be furnished as and when sought by the Authorities.

Venu ji,

Thanks for clarification. I was also of the same opinion that family pension cannot be denied to the widow of the deceased employee.
