Family Pension

Family for the purpose of Karnataka Government Servants (FP) Rules, 2002 means

(i) Surviving Wife or Husband.

(ii) Minor sons i.e. till they attain the age of 18 years.

(iii) Unmarried daughters till they attain the age of 21 years or date of marriage whichever is earlier. 

Family Pension is payable to one person at a time.

Initially it is payable to wife/husband of the Government servant as the case may be till her/his death or remarriage. 

Subsequently, children, one after another, in the order of their birth are eligible for family pension till they attain the age of 18/21 years as the case may be.

Physically handicapped/Mentally retarded sons & unmarried daughters of the deceased Government servant are also entitled to family pension for life or till they continue to be handicapped.

The rates of Family Pension admissible under Rule 4 of Karnataka Government servants (Family Pension) Rules, 2002 (revised by G.O. NO. FD 03 PEN 2007(I)  dated 6-6-2007) is as follows: 

30%  of pay  last  drawn with effect from 01/07/2005 subject to minimum of Rs. 2250/-  and maximum of RS. 11970/- pm.(monitory benefit from 1/4/2006 only)

When both the parents are Government servants & their family pension payable to the minor children shall be restricted to Rs.11970/- pm (G.O No.FD 02 SRA 2010 dated 19/11/2010).

Enhanced Family Pension - 

Method of calculation of Enhanced family Pension

· Normal Family Pension is calculated. It is doubled. 

· 50% of the pay last drawn is calculated. 

Whichever of above is less is paid as Enhanced Family pension admissible only in cases where a Government Servant has rendered an actual service of 7 years or more. 

Weightage in service under Rule 219, 235, 247 & 248 shall not be reckoned as qualifying service for allowing enhanced family pension).

The rates of Family Pension admissible under Rule 4 of Karnataka Government Servants (Family Pension) Rules, 2002 (Revised by G.O.No.FD 03 PEN 2007 (I) dated 6-6-2007) is as follows:

30% of pay last drawn with effect from 01/07/2005 (monetary benefit from 1/4/2006) subject to minimum of RS.2250/- and maximum of Rs.11970/- pm.

Example: 

Let the average emoluments = Rs. 8100

50% of average emoluments = Rs. 4050 

Normal FP= 30% of Rs. 8100 = Rs. 2430

Twice Normal FP                   = Rs. 4860

Since Rs. 4050 is less than Rs. 4860 enhanced family pension will be paid at a rate of Rs.4050 for a period of seven years from the  Date Of Death   or till the date on which Government servant would have attained the age of 67 years. Subsequently normal family pension at a rate of Rs. 2430 will be paid.
