Widow And Minor Pension

Sir,
one of our ex employee who has expired long back since last 13 years. His wife is getting Widow pension and minor pension. She has a query that in the month of Sept.2010 pension has not deposited and pf office asked her to contact company.
My question is that is there anything that as a company we have to do and if so what is that ?

Well.. just thinking aloud
Possible chances could be that the widow of your deceased employee has remarried and hence not eligible for pension or the minor has now become a major and hence not eligible for pension.
But rather than assuming things it would be better to enquire directly with the PF Office or the bank through which the amount is being remitted.

Sree,
Good Morning,
That respected widow neither re - married nor minor has major. The crucks of the issue is she has got pension before sept. 2010 and after Sept. 2010.

The minor will become major at the age of 18 years. But the child pension wiil be paid till the age of 25 years.
Abbas.P.S

She may not have filled the "alive certificate" at the bank. This is mandatory and is required every year .

Dear All,
Every widow or widower has to file a certificate every year that she/has not remarried and is alive, as rightly pointed out by Shri Parth Chakravarty. Children pension is eligible till the pensioner child attains the age of 25 years. When a child attains 25 years, his/her pension will be stopped and the next child (if any) will start getting the pension. If there is no such next eligible child, pension of the widow/widower will increase in that proportion.
Special (handicapped/disabled) children continue to get the pension irrespective of age beyond 25 years but this has to be incorporated in the initial application for pension in form 10-D.
The concerned bank will be in a better position to tell the reasons for stoppage of pension in the case cited by Shri Prashant Deshpande Ji.

Dear Mr Prashanth
I agree with Mr Shyam Agrawal's advice.
- There is nothing that the company has to do here
- But you can help the widow - advice her to visit the bank and check whether she has submitted the surviving certificate (which is generally filled and submitted in the bank during November every year)
