Hardship faced by widowed/unmarried/divorced daughters in getting Family Pension.

All India Railwaymen's Federation

The Secretary(E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub: Hardship faced by widowed/unmarried/divorced daughters in getting Family Pension.

   Our office is pouring with complaints that different Railways/Divisions/ Workshops are demanding several types of certificates, such as certificate from the Revenue Tehsildars etc. In fact, they are not duty bound to issue the same and as such they are not issuing the same.

   AIRF, therefore, requests the Railway Board to issue proper instructions/ guidelines to all the Zonal Railways and Production Units to remove the hardship faced by such widowed/unmarried/divorced daughters in getting Family Pension..

   This may be given top priority.

Yours faithfully,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)

General Secretary
