Family Pension: A married daughter will also receive her father’s pension. After her mother’s death, she will have the right to the family pension. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued an important ruling. Now, a married daughter with 70% disability cannot be denied her late father’s family pension simply because she is married or her husband’s income exceeds the prescribed limit. This ruling came in favor of the daughter, who had challenged a government department’s decision to withhold her pension. Previously, the Labor Court (CAT) had upheld the government’s decision, following which the daughter approached the High Court.

What is the whole matter?

The daughter’s father passed away on October 10, 2014. He retired from government service in June 1999 and was receiving a pension. After her mother’s passing, the daughter, who is also 70% disabled, was the sole legal heir. She applied for her father’s family pension, but the government refused to grant the pension, citing a lack of documents and her husband’s income.

The government argued that the daughter was married and her husband had a government job and earned ₹4.22 lakh annually, making her dependent on her father. However, the daughter was already disabled and did not earn any income. The government accused the government of misusing the rules. Citing the Punjab Civil Services Rules, the government stated that the husband’s income exceeded the monthly limit of ₹3,500 plus DA, and therefore, he would not receive a pension.

However, the High Court clearly stated that marital status is irrelevant. Being married is not a factor in granting a pension to a disabled daughter. Counting the husband’s income is incorrect. Considering the husband’s salary as the daughter’s income is against the rules. A disabled daughter will be entitled to a lifelong pension. If the daughter is so mentally or physically disabled that she cannot earn her own living, she will receive a lifelong pension, regardless of age or marriage. The High Court stated that the government wrongly rejected the claim.

The court stated that the daughter had submitted all the documents. The government rejected her claim without proper investigation. Considering the husband’s income as the daughter’s income is completely wrong. The court reprimanded the government, stating that denying a pension to a disabled daughter is unfair and against the rules.

The High Court delivered its final verdict.

The daughter is entitled to a family pension. The pension should be released immediately. 9% interest should also be paid on the outstanding amount. The government will also have to pay ₹25,000 as case expenses. This High Court decision is considered a major relief for women with disabilities and their rights. This states that even after marriage, a disabled daughter cannot be deprived of the rights of her parents.
