Ministry of
Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions

Union Minister of State
(Independent Charge) Science & Technology; Minister of State (Independent
Charge) Earth Sciences; MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic
Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh today said that mentally retarded child of
a deceased Government employee/Pensioner is entitled to Family Pension and the
spirit of this provision needs to be understood and respected.
Giving details, the
Minister said, this reiteration in public was necessitated by the fact that it
has come to the notice of the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare
that in some cases the Banks are not allowing Family Pension in respect of a
mentally retarded child through the person nominated by the Pensioner or
his/her spouse and they insist for a Guardianship Certificate issued by a Court
of Law.
Dr Jitendra Singh
emphasised that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the
Government follows the Mantra of Good Governance for bringing “Ease of Living”
to the common man. In that spirit, the provision for nomination for Family
Pension is intended to avoid any hassle to the child suffering from a mental
disability in obtaining Guardianship Certificate from the Court or in claiming
Family Pension after the death of his/her parents. Therefore, he said,
insisting for a Guardianship Certificate by a Bank in such cases defeats the
very purpose of such nomination and also amounts to violation of the statutory
provisions of Central Civil Service (Pension) Rules, 2021.
The Department has,
therefore, reiterated the provisions of the above rules. CMDs of all Pension
Disbursing Banks have been advised to issue suitable instructions to their
CPPCs/Pension Paying Branches for payment of Family Pension in respect of a
mentally retarded child through the person nominated by the Government
servant/Pensioner/ Family Pensioner in accordance with the statutory provisions
of the Rules and not to insist for a Guardianship Certificate issued by Court
of Law in such cases.
Pertinent to mention that
in recent months, the Department of Pensions has introduced a number of path
breaking reforms including relaxation in the provision of Family Pension for
divorced daughters, introduction of Face Recognition Technology through mobile
app for ease in submitting Life Certificate by elderly pensioners, Electronic
Pension Pay Order, assistance from Postal Department to facilitate pension
process etc. SNC / RR (Release ID:

INDIA POST TO REAFFIRM Its COMMITMENT TOWARDS WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ITS R- DAY TABLEAU
Ministry of Communications
India Post has been serving the nation since the last 167 years, standing unabated in its dedication and undying passion of rendering postal, financial and government services, in the remotest corners of the country. As the nation celebrates Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, commemorating the seventy fifth year of independence, India Post, through the Republic-Day tableaux, has attempted to reaffirm its commitment towards women empowerment both within and through the Post offices.
THE THEME OF INDIA POST R-DAY TABLEAUX IS “INDIA POST:75 YEARS@ RESOLVE-WOMEN EMPOWERMENT”
The tableaux shall showcase the following elements:
FRONT PORTION:
India Post stands as a model employer of women and with its mandate for financial inclusion almost 50% account holders of the India Post Payments Bank as well as the Post Office Savings Bank are women.
The tableau displays the robust outreach and the modern face of India Post that ties the entire country in one thread and aims to portray its focus on women empowerment through the ‘All Women Post Offices’. Divyang friendly post offices as portrayed by the ramp reiterate our social commitments.
Post Woman:The tableau presents the modern face of India Post featuring a young post woman with a digital device in one hand and a postman’s bag in the other, thus conveying the message of blending technology with tradition. Standing tall beside her is the ubiquitous red-letter box that reflects people’s unabated faith in India Post. Also displayed are India Post Services like speed post, e-commerce, ATM Cards etc. which are trusted by millions of customers. The image of the postwoman is juxtaposed with that of the Harkara on high relief projecting the transition of India Post over the decades. The two images are set in the foreground of the ubiquitous red-letter box.
The recently concluded “75 Lakh Postcards to PM Campaign” is also showcased.
REAR TRAILER:
FLOATING POST OFFICE: The trailer features the Floating Post Office of Srinagar emphasizing the SUKANYA SAMRIDDHI YOJANA, a scheme under Hon’ble PM’s initiative of “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” campaign.
All WOMEN POST OFFICE: The All Women Post Office showcases India Post’s resolve and a step towards gender equality.
The 3D images of the post office counters where we see women officials rendering multifarious service to the customers such as Aadhar enrolment as well as Postal ATM Counters, emphasizes India Post’s resolve towards women empowerment. In case of India Post Payments Bank, almost 50% account holders (2.24 Cr.) are women and 98% of such accounts have been opened at doorsteps.
KOLKATA GPO: At the rear is the Kolkata GPO; the oldest GPO, a proud witness to the journey of India Post and one of the iconic heritage buildings of India.
THE LOWER PART OF THE TRAILER: Adorning the tableau, a collage of stamps pertaining to the country’s freedom struggle, digitally printed on khadi and meant to be displayed in different post offices across the country after the Republic Day.
GROUND ELEMENT: However, the uniqueness of the tableaux lies in its foot soldiers who are real-life postmen/post women from different parts of India. They stand symbolic to the transition of India Post from the harkaras to the postmen in bicycles and e-bikes, thus highlighting our journey. RKJ/M (Release ID: 1791772)
