Demand of Unnecessary Documents – Succession Certificate in Family Pension Case dt 28.03.2023
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Succession Certificate
In Continuation to this department’s letter No.SO(PCDC)11(6)/82-08, dated 22.09.2014. I am directed to state that the Regulation Wing, S&GAD has issued instructions from time to time for expeditious disposal of pension cases. The Provincial Government has also taken serious initiatives in this regard. However, it has been noticed with concern that such cases are delayed for want of unnecessary information.
2. I am, therefore, directed to convey that the Pension Sanctioning Authorities in the case of family pension as a result of death while in service or death after retirement are duty bound to ensure payment of pension / gratuity in accordance with pension rules. However, the demand for certain unnecessary documents for the purpose of family pension is not a mandatory requirement under the Pension Rules. Therefore, all cases of family pension are required to be disposed of in accordance with Pension Rules.
3. The above instruction may be implemented in letter and spirit.
