An individual Family Pension case - question and answer

Dear Sir,
I am sorry to say that Mr.S G K ( H G A } who was typist at the time of bifurcation of TIRUCHENGODE is no more. He died on 10-10-14. His family pension has to be settled. He was getting Rs.19262 before death.the details are as follows.

Date of retirement; 31-12-2002 Average emoluments(10 months) Rs.18132---3/2002 to
7/2002 at 1997 basic and 8/2002 to 12/2002 at 2002 settlement rates.He was entitled to F P A of Rs.540 from 8/2002 and Rs.360 for 3/02 to 7/02.
His basic pension before commutation was Rs.9066 (18132 divided by 2 ) B P after commutation Rs.6044.
D A on Rs.9066 @).18% was RS.16.3188 x810 slabs =13218 .TOTAL RS.19262.

Sir, I could not arrive at as to how the above Rs.18132 was worked out and 2) I find in the Pension Rules a provision of minimum Pension of Rs.1150 and maximum Pension of Rs.2400 But AS PER
OUR CALCULATION THE FAMILY PENSION COMES TO RS 2720 hence 3) Whether his wife is entitled to Rs.2720 BASIC FAMILY PENSION OR only Rs.2400. I would request you to be kind enough to please enlighten me in all the above 3 aspects and oblige

Thanks and with kind Regards
Yours Sincerely
S.GOPALAN.

Dear Mr Gopalan,
I am very sorry to hear the news of death of Mr S. Gopalakrishnan. Kindly convey my condolences to his family members.

In Rule 2 (o)(iv) of the LIC Pension Rules, the proviso states that "for the purpose of calculating average emoluments, as defined under sub-clause(d) of Rule 2,in respect of employees whose ten months' 

period before retirement falls partly under pre-revised pay scales and partly under the the pay for for the revised pay scales, the pay for the period for which they have drawn pay as per pre-revised pay scales may be updated by including the dearness allowance actually drawn by them or the dearness allowance upto AICPI to which the revised basic pay is pegged,whichever is less".

So in order to verify the correctness his pension fixed from 1/1/2003, I need his Basic Pay particulars from March 2002 to December 2002.

Also, for those retired after 1/8/1997, there is no maximum for family pension.For the spouse of late Gopalakrishnan, the aggregate of basic and additional family pension shall be subject to a minimum of 
Rs 2330/-p.m. 

Amount of Basic family pension will be 15% of of the "pay" and 15% of the allowances which are counted for the contribution of Provident Fund,but not for dearness allowance. On hearing from you,I shall revert to you.
Kind regards.
