Extraordinary Pension Rule No.12: Payment Of Award Of Pensionary Benefits Where The Railway Servant Left No Family

12.   (1)     If the deceased railway servant has left neither a widow nor a child, an award shall be made to his parent or parents and in the absence of the parent or parents to his minor brothers and sisters in accordance with Schedule-III hereto annexed, if they were largely dependent on the railway servant for support and are in pecuniary need:

Provided that the amount of the award to minor brothers or sisters shall not exceed one half of the pension that would have been admissible to the widow under Rule-11.

(2)   Any award made under sub-rule (1) of this rule shall, in the event of an improvement in the pecuniary circumstances of the pensioner, be subject to review in such manner as the President may by order prescribe.

Note: If any of the widows, children, parents, minor brothers or sisters is denied any share in the property of the railway servant under a Will or Deed made by him, such person shall be ineligible to receive any award under these rules and the benefit shall pass on to the next person eligible.
