Recently, the central government has changed the rules relating to the pension received by the family after the death of the employee This provides some relief to the employee’s family or dependents after his death. However, let’s learn about this rule.
What is the rule: The requirement for at least 7 years of service has been eliminated for eligibility for 50 percent of the last paid pension to a government employee. Under this, if a government employee dies before the completion of 7 years of service, 50 percent of the last payment made to the employee’s family is determined as a pension.
