All the children of the deceased employee are eligible for death pension. Initially the first two children are eligible for death pension till they attain the age of 25 years. As soon as the first child completes 25 years age, the pension amount payable to that child will be stopped and it will be paid to the 3rd child till 25 years age. As soon as the 2nd child completes 25 years age, the pension will be paid for the 4th child till he completes 25 years. When all the children completed 25 years the pension for the children will be stopped and thereafter widow pension only will be continued to be paid.
In the case of 4 children, the legal heirs certificate of the deceased employee should contain the name and age etc. of all children and the claim should be submitted for all the children at the same itself.
In the case of the death of a senior citizen already receiving pension, the spouse is eligible for pension subsequently for which life certificate certified by the Bank Manager in which the pension is already drawn is to be submitted to concerned PF office through that Bank.
