No. Live-in-relationship do not provide any legal right in favour of partner equivalent to wife so no question arises to claim for pension of another's service.

OurLd friends are very right to say and I too of the same opinion that such alleged person do not have such right to claim.

i agree with my friends, the long living between a male and female may create fiction of marriage, but for the purpose u ve mentioned the legal right has to be created by actual conduct.

I have difficulty to understand the logic of my learned friends. As in India, till now the marriage registration is not compulsory, there is no differnce between live-in-relationship and solemnization of marriage (saptapadi bla..bla). If the persons of live-in-relationship declare that their marriage was solemnized as per Hindu Rites and Customs, who could object them? Hence, the partner is entitled to pension, if he / she is not disabled for any other provision of pension rules.

No he will not be eligible. He has to prove his legal status though he may be nominated. Legal heirs can challenge it.
