Family pension rules
How much is family pension?
Usually 30% of the employee's last basic pay, at least ₹9,000. If the employee dies in service, an enhanced 50% rate is paid for the first 10 years. If a pensioner dies, the enhanced rate (50% of last pay, but not more than the pension they drew) is paid for 7 years or until they would have turned 67, whichever is earlier.
How will family pension change in the 8th Pay Commission?
Basic family pension is expected to be multiplied by the fitment factor, with the minimum rising by the same factor, as at the 7th CPC. It is not decided yet.
Do family pensioners over 80 get additional pension?
Yes, the same age-based additional pension applies: 20% at 80, rising to 100% at 100.
