Read carefully the categorisation above. Family pension is only given to one person at a time. Once a person becomes ineligible for Family pension, next in the line get it.

Widowed mother divrcing after is a condition which may need a clarification. Logically until her daughter becom ineligible she may not be able to receive.

My father died recently in july, 2012, I want to know the provision for family pension or if any scheme for job for heirs. What are the qualifications, age limit for getting the job...
Dear, can u plz tell ur zone
Dear, can u plz tell ur zone and other infos...?
family pension will be granted to your mother in her bank account , if your father was not appointed after the new pension scheme... but for this a lot of paper work will be there which will be done by the welfare inspector of your father's working zone.. and you have to chase your files in between for its proper progress.
one of the members of the family(only employee's children or his widow) are eligible for compensation job. there are no such criteria of qualifications. the type of post and department will be given on the basis of the qualification and the result of the written test conducted by railways at their divisional office ..

Sir,
I am a mechanical engineer....my father was in railways. he was expired in 2009 nov..now i would like to join on his behalf. He was senior section engineer.My quiry is what post i will get??
Also he was posted in u.p and but i want to join in gujrat...so what procedure should i follow u get posted in gujrat...some of them is suggesting to take exam in u.p after that i can take transfer..is this possible...or should take exam in gurat itself??
Thanking you
Dear. why are you going to
Dear.
why are you going to join after 3 years ?You must have did this in 2009 itself.,have you applied at your father's Divisional office for this 3 years delay in joining after your father's death ??
If you are a B.tech mechanical engineer then you may get a chance for junior engineer or section engineer .
all the formalities will be proceeded by your father's divisional office ,i am not sure about the written exam will be possible to conduct in Gujarat or not. but you can get your transfer after joining, but transfers in different zones are only possible by "mutual transfer", means if someone in Gujarat also wants to get transferred to your zone then both of the employees will be mutually transferred..
if you have more confusions then you must visit your father's divisional office and consult the divisional personnel officer there.. he will surely solve all your queries.
Hello, My father retired
Hello,
My father retired from Railways in Kanpur in 90's and he passed away in January 2012. My mother has submitted his death certificated and other documents to the bank they were getting the pension in. Since Feb, the pension has been stopped but my mother hasn't received any pension till July 2012. When we contact the bank, they say they have sent a reminder to Railways and since all the pension work is handled by Baroda office, it takes time.
Please advice, who should I contact and where to find out how long it would take for the family pension to be issued.
Thanks,
