2. All the Deputy Commissioners & Sub Divisional Officers (Civil) in Haryaña.
3. The Registrar, Punjab & Haiyana High Court, Chandigarh.

Dated Chandigarh, the 1st January, 2014.

Subject:- Grant of family pension to the widowed/divorced daughter- clarification thereof.

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to this office letter No. 2/53/ 2009-1Pension dated 26.4.2010 vide which clarification for entitlement of a person to receive family pension on the date of death of the employee or pensioner was issued.

2. Sometime past the issue has been received in Finance Department for further clarification in r/o family pension to widowed/divorced daughter. After due consideration, in reference to Rule 14 of Haryana Civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2009 and earlier clarification issued vide No. 2/53/2009-1 Pension dated 26.4.2010, it is further clarified that the family pension will be payable to widowed/divorced daughters if she fulfils all the eligibility conditions at the time of death of the Government servant or his/her spouse, whichever is later provided she is still eligible for family pension when her turn comes. The family pension will continue only till she remarries or starts earning her livelihood equal to or more than the sum of minimum family pension and dearness relief thereon.

The position is iliustrated through an example. Shri X, a Pensioner, died in 1985. He was survived by his wife, Smt Y, a son Shri Z and a daughter, Kumal E the daughter being the younger. Kumari E married in 1989 and got widowed in 1995. Smt. Y died in 2000. Thereafter, Shri Z (son) was getting family pension being disabled and died in 2002. Thereafter, the family pension was stopped as. Kuniari E was not eligible for it at that time. She applied for family pension on the basis of Haryana Civil Services (Revised Pension) Rules, 2009. Since she was a widow and had no independent source of Income at the time of death of her mother (family pensioner) and on the date her turn came, she may be granted family pension.

3. These instructions may please be brought to the notice of all concerned for necessary action.

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-

   Government servants appointed before 01.01.2004 are entitled to Medical facility under the Rajasthan Civil Service (Medical Attendance) Rules, 2008. As per provisions contained in Rule 5 of these rules a Government servant, who is entitled to avail medical attendance and treatment facilities and reimbursement thereof under these rules, can opt out of the benefits under these rules and avail medical facilities under any medi claim insurance Scheme, of any insurance provider regulated by the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority (IRDA). The option once exercised is final and irrevocable and such Government servant is not entitled to avail facility of medical attendance and treatment and reimbursement thereof, under these rules.

   In accordance with the above provisions, those who do not opt for Medi claim Insurance Scheme are entitled to avail facility of medical attendance and treatment and reimbursement thereof.

   As per existing provisions contained in the Rajasthan Civil Service (Medical Attendance) Rules, 2008 reimbursement of Medical claim is allowed on production of original bills. Those who obtain payment of Medical claim through insurance policy are not entitled to reimbursement under Rajasthan Civil Service (Medical Attendance) Rules, 2008 for the remaining amount of the same treatment.

   The matter has been considered and the Governor is pleased to order that Government servants who have subscribed / are subscribing to Medical Insurance Policies and are also eligible for availing Medical Facility under Rajasthan Civil Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 2008, may be allowed to claim reimbursement from both the sources subject to the conditions that the reimbursement from such
sources should not exceed the total expenditure incurred by the beneficiary on the treatment.

   The beneficiary will make the first claim to the insurance company and the second claim to the concerned Head of Office. The medical claim against the original vouchers/ bills would be raised by the beneficiary first on the insurance company, which would issue a certificate indicating the amount reimbursed to the concerned Head of Office. The insurance company concerned will retain the original vouchers/bills in such cases.

   The beneficiary would then prefer his/her medical claim along with photocopies of vouchers/bills duly certified, in ink, along with stamp of the insurance company on the reverse of the vouchers/bills to the concerned Head of Office. Reimbursement from Government will be restricted only to the admissible amount as per provisions contained in Rajasthan Civil Service (Medical Attendance) Rules, 2008 /including approved package rates subject to the conditions that the total amount reimbursed does not exceed the total expenditure incurred by the beneficiary.

   The provisions of this order shall also be applicable to the pensioner / family pensioner who are availing medical facility under the Rajasthan State Pensioners’ Medical Concession Scheme, 2009.

   This order shall take effect from the date of issue and past cases are not to be reopened.

By order of the Governor,
