Am I eligible to receive my parents' pension after their deaths?
I am 36 years old and have been fully dependent on my mother. Our household expenses were covered by my parents' pensions. My mother passed away on 10th May 2024, and my father passed away 26 years ago. Will I be eligible to receive my parents' pension?
Yes, as a 36-year-old dependent daughter, you are also eligible for your mother's family pension in India, even if you're over 25, because you're unmarried and dependent, but eligibility and duration depend on specific rules (like earning capacity/marriage/disability) and if there's no surviving spouse, you must apply with the proof of dependency and death certificates to the pension authority. It’s better to consult a legal advice as well. I hope this answer was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sir, you may be eligible for your parents' pension if you were financially dependent on them. Some pensions offer survivor benefits to dependent children, even adult children in certain cases. Consulting with a legal expert can help you navigate the application process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
