OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub:
Submission of Form 14 by the spouse to the pension disbursing bank
after
the death of the pensioner - instructions reg.
The
undersigned is directed to draw attention to the requirement of applying for
family pension in Form 14 as given in rule 81 (2) (A) (ii) of the CCS (Pension)
Rules, 1972.
2. This Department has been receiving
representations from various quarters to do
away with the condition of applying for family pension in Form 14 as it is
causing Inconvenience to widows, who find it difficult and embarrassing to
present themselves before two Gazetted Officers/persons of repute for
attestation of Form 14.
3. Before commencement of family
pension, personal identification details of the spouse such as specimen
signature, personal mark of identification and left hand thumb impression,
proof of age/date of birth of spouse and an undertaking from him/her for
recovery of excess payment are to be obtained by the bank. Form 14 serves as a
standard processing sheet, which defines and delineates the exact requirement
of information to be given to the pension disbursing Bank. It was apprehended
that in the absence of this standard, the widows may be asked to submit any
relevant or irrelevant information by the bank. This could also lead to delay
in commencement of the family pension.
4. The matter has been examined and it
has been agreed that in case the pensioner and spouse are holding a joint
account, the possibility of claim for family pension from someone else does not
arise. Therefore, in such cases, there is no requirement of Form 14. The spouse
may inform the Bank of death of the pensioner and request the bank for
commencement of family pension, through a simple letter. He/she may enclose a
copy of death certificate of pensioner, PPO, proof of his/her own age/date of
birth and an undertaking for recovery of excess payment. In other cases, i.e.,
where the pension is not being credited to the joint bank account of the pensioner
and his/her spouse, Form 14 will be continued to be obtained by the banks. However,
the condition of attestation of Form 14 has been done away with and witnessing
by two persons has been considered as sufficient.
5. For all future cases, Head of Office
will forward to the PAO, along with similar details for the pensioner, the
specimen signature, personal mark of identification, left hand thumb
impression, the proof of age/date of birth and an undertaking from the spouse
regarding recovery of excess payment. After the death of the pensioner, the
spouse of the deceased pensioner will be required to provide only death
certificate to the paying bank, who will identify the spouse based on the information
given in the PPO and its own "Know Your Customer" procedures. Where the
pensioner and hislher spouse do not have a joint account, Form 14 will be required
as in para 4 above.
