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,

Restructuring in Group ‘C’ Cadres-reg.

No. l/8/CRC/09/Vol .9

Dated: 04/01/2014

The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Restructuring in Group ‘C’ Cadres-reg.

Ref: (i) Railway Board’s letter No. PC-III/2013/CRC/4 dated 08/10/2013.

(ii) NFIR’s letter No. 1/8/CRC/09/VoI.9 dated 09/10/2013.

(iii) NFIR’s letter No. 118/CRC/09/VoI.9 dated 04/11/2013.

(iv) NFIR’s letter No. 1/8/CRC/09/Vol.9 dated 18/11/2013.

(v) Railway Board’s letter No. PC-III/2013/CRC/6 dated 19/12/2013.

Further to above, Federation wishes to highlight following irregularities detected by NFIR during the course of implementation cadre restructuring in Group ‘C’ posts effective from 01/11/2013 on various Zonal Railways:-

1. The Annexure C’ to Railway Board’s letter dated 08/10/2013 under heading “Engineering Departments including Workshops”, revised percentage of 67:33 has been shown against Technical Supervisors (safety category) in GP Rs 4600 & Rs 4200 respectively.

Doubt has arisen on a few Zonal Railways that the category of SSE/Works & JE/Works which is Technical category for all purposes but has not been declared as ‘Safety Category’, is not covered under ratio 67:33, consequently restructuring exercise is not being undertaken (particularly on Central Railway).

2. On some Zonal Railways, money value of posts is being assessed for surrender of posts without caring to look into the fact that several staff have already been placed in the posts of higher Grade Pay under MACPS which factually means ‘nil’, financial implications.

It would, therefore be incorrect on the part of Zonal Railways to surrender posts for implementing restructuring orders.

3. Apart from above, NFIR vide letter dated 18/11/2013 had conveyed to the Railway Board list of remaining categories of Group ‘C which also deserve to be restructured and upgraded w.e.f. 01/11/2013. Unfortunately, there is no response to Federation’s communication as a result staff continue to suffer and are feeling aggrieved & agitated.

NFIR, therefore, urges the Railway Board to see that suitable clarifications are issued on para 1 &2 above and also convene CRC meeting to discuss on left over categories. A copy of the instructions issued may be endorsed to Federation.

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-
