INFORMATION ON SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION (PBOR)

SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION (PBOR)

 #  Special Family Pension (SFP) is granted to next of kin of PBOR whose death is attributable to or aggravated by military service conditions.

 #  SFP is also granted when the PBOR is in receipt of disability pension and dies before within 7 years of discharge/invalidment subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.

# SFP is calculated at uniform rate of 60% of reckonable emoluments subject to minimum of Rs 2550/- w.e.f. 1.1.96 and Rs 7000/- w.e.f. 1.1.2006 respectively.

 #  Unlike ordinary family pension, SPECIAL FAMILY PENSION is granted for the benefit of the entire family. Therefore, if the recipient does not support other dependant family members, the competent authority (based on an investigation from Army Recruiting Office) may at his discretion, divide the special family pension in such ratio as he deems fit. o Example : If the widow who is in receipt of SFP does not support the dependent mother in law, the competent authority may divide the SFP between the widow and the mother in law in the ratio of 50:50. o On the death of the mother in law, the 50% share of mother in law will be restored back to the widow.

 # Remarriage of widow will NOT be a disqualification and the widow will continue to be in receipt of special family pension even after remarriage subject to the condition that she support child/children from previous marriage.
