dear Makkad,I think you misunderstood the query.if she is a central govt widower pensioner and she is aged above 80,there is a provision of 20% increase in basic pension as per the 6th pay commission.
there are different age slabs like 80,85,90 upto 100 and basic pension are increased accordingly.
it is purely based on the age.
as such if she may contact the pension disbursing authority with her age proof.

I think this is not a legal query.
This is a query with regards to departmental procedures, where legal advise is not required.
This can be solved by the respective department or organisation.

@ Mr. Deepak Nair
Department / Organisation / Institutions are covered under Tribunal and Lawyers / Advocates are allowed to represent before such Tribunal on behalf of their 'client' -right.
It surprises me to know according to you a matter (this authors brief / fact before us) which may go before Tribunal is termed as non - legal query and or academic query !

Allow me to unitary help in your query before us.
Q.1 – Is a widow getting a family pension of his deceased husband liable for increment of 20% of her family pension? Since, the date of retirement of her husband indicating that more than 20 years have already been passed.
You should have received the enhanced pension w.e.f. 1 Jan 2006 and 40 % of the arrears accruing to you, as per the resolution of the Government of India notified in the Gazette of India on 29 August 2008 and OMs No. F. 38/37/08-P&PW dated 1 Sep 2008. Yes, the life time arrears will be paid to you being the spouse. The family pension also should be started by your bank automatically & revised family pension will be paid as per 6th Pay Commission.
note- Where both enhanced rate of Ordinary Family Pension and Normal rate of Ordinary Family pension is admissible, firstly Enhanced rate of Family Pension is payable and thereafter Normal rate of Family Pension is payable.
As per para 4.5, an additional quantum of pension is admissible to Pensioners/family pensioners above the age of 80 as per the table provided in the DP&PW OM dated 1 Sep 2008.
The 6th pay commission has fixed the increment date first July every year. The increment will be given after completing the one year of service suppose a person retiring in the month of June i.e. 30th June, the person is loosing his last increment which is a heavy loss in the pension. Similarly in the 6th pay commission has given the benefit to those who has increment date on 1st January adding a increment before fixation in such a case why cont the last increment benefit should be given to those who are retiring in the month of June end.
Q.2 – If it is so, what is the procedure to be followed? Can she move an application with a request to increase 20% family pension as per rule, in her Bank from where she is getting her family pension?
You are not required to initiate action at all. The Pension Disbursing Authorities (the Bank or PAO or Treasury from whom you receive pension) have been ordered by the Department of Pensions & Pensioners Welfare to initially compute your revised basic pension and to directly make the payment of the revised basic pension and 40% of arrears accruing from January 2006 by crediting your account by 30th Sep 2008.
Q.3 – Any other process? & under what provisions? Or Act?
The Bank branch from where you draw your pension should provide you with a pension slip and make entries in your half of the PPO on your request. They are also required to provide you with a Due and Drawn Statement to show the detailed calculations of the pension drawn by you since Jan 2006 and the amount due to you as per the orders of GOI http://pensionersportal.gov.in/ The amount of difference between the amount due to you and amount drawn should be indicated in this statement and will be the arrears paid to you. The Banks are required to obtain re-imbursement from the Government after they credit the pensioner each month. The payment of arrears to legal heirs will be governed by Para 23.1, 23.2 & 23.3 of the Scheme for payment of pensions to Central Government Civil pensioners by Authorised Banks http://cpao.nic.in/scheme.pdf
