In that spirit, the provision for nomination for Family Pension is intended to avoid any hassle to the child suffering from a mental disability in obtaining a Guardianship Certificate from the Court or in claiming Family Pension after the death of his\/her parents. Therefore, he said, insisting on a Guardianship Certificate by a Bank in such cases defeats the very purpose of such nomination and also amounts to a violation of the statutory provisions of Central Civil Service (Pension) Rules, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Department has, therefore, reiterated the provisions of the above rules. CMDs of all Pension Disbursing Banks have been advised to issue suitable instructions to their CPPCs\/Pension Paying Branches for payment of Family Pension in respect of a mentally retarded child through the person nominated by the Government servant\/Pensioner\/ Family Pensioner in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Rules and not to insist for a Guardianship Certificate issued by Court of Law in such cases.<\/p>\n<p>Pertinent to mention that in recent months, the Department of Pensions has introduced a number of path-breaking reforms including relaxation in the provision of Family Pension for divorced daughters, the introduction of Face Recognition Technology through a mobile app for ease in submitting Life Certificate by elderly pensioners, Electronic Pension Pay Order, assistance from Postal Department to facilitate pension process, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science &amp; Technology;
