Family members of a missing government employee or pensioner can get all benefits including pension, gratuity and leave encashment among others, the central govt has said.
Family members of a govt employee or pensioner kidnapped by insurgents and terrorists will also be eligible to all monetary benefits, according to a fresh set of instructions issued last week by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
However, family members of those employees who disappear after committing frauds or crime etc. will not be entitled to pension or any other benefits.
‘In the case of a missing employee or pensioner or family pensioner, the family can apply for the grant of family pension, amount of salary due, leave encashment due and the amount of GPF and gratuity (whatever has not already been received) to the Head of Office of the organisation where the employee or pensioner had last served, six months after lodging of police report,’ it said.
