Is unmarried daughter eligible for family pension?
Will the unmarried female child get family pension till she gets married?or does it stop at the age of 25?
A female unmarried child is eligible for family pension till she marries, re-marries or starts earning her livelihood. According to the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2021, this eligibility continues without any age bar till one of these conditions is met. However, if she reaches the age of 25 or more and all other eligible unmarried siblings have also attained this age or are financially independent in their own right, then eligibility is affected. Thus the family pension does not depend on age 25: it depends on her age and marital status and financial independence.
Sir, as per the law unmarried daughter is entitled to family pension until she gets married or starts earning whichever comes first under sub rule 6 (iii) Rule 54. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
