Sir,

It has been brought to the notice of the Ministry that some cases are pending finalisation for grant of liberalised family pension (LFP) for want of clarification in the Govt letters dated No. 1(11)/06-D(Pen-C) PC dated 08.09.09, No. 1(11)/2006-D(Pen-C) PC dated 5.3.10 & No. 2(1)/2011-D(Pension/Policy) dated 03.02.2011 (copies enclosed). The matter was considered in a meeting held under the chairmanship of the Secretary (ESW) on 24.05.2013. it was decided that the circumstances mentioned in the 3 letters would be equally applicable to all the three Armed Forces, although, some of them were included at the instance of Air HQrs. Army, Air Force and Navy may get the pending cases re-examined for eligibility of LFP in the light of clarifications given in the meeting and instructions contained in the said letters.

This issues with the approval of Secretary (ESW) & concurrence of MoD(Fin) vide 10(4)12010/Fin/Pen, dated 19.8.2013.
