Family pension takes nearly 6 months to reach beneficiary. This is the finding of a recent study .
This happens. According to the rules, the family pension should be disbursed the day after the death of the pensioner is reported. But, various shortfalls make it late.
The message is that if you want your spouse to get the family pension without interruption, make appropriate documentations and make the family pensioner aware of the steps needed for that.
Train your spouse as a widow/widower !!
After the death of the Pensioner, a set of papers are to be furnished to the Bank. This includes a letter about the death and family pension, and others. You would need a joint Bank account.
So, make your Bank account (Pension account) joint with your spouse immediately. Draft the intimation letter (except for the dates ! ). Make your spouse understand the essentiality and modus operandi.
Please don't ignore this !! Remember, someone may not be available for your spouse's help !!
