Government of the Punjab, School Education
Department has issued Notification on 08-05-2019 in connection with Provision
of Pensionary Benefits to the Affected Families of Govt Employees Who Died during
Service. Detail is as under:
Kindly refer to the subject noted above.
2.
To provide financial relief to the affected
families of Govt. servants who died during service is a part of social-economic
vision of the Government. In many of the cases, especially in death cases,
certain family members either due to lack of awareness and knowledge or
lethargic and discoursing response from government offices, usually fail to get
relied / financial benefits within stipulated period.
3. This state of affairs is miserable on the
part of controlling officers i.e. Headmaster, Dy. District education Officer,
District Education Officers and Chief Executive Officer Offices which needs to
be addressed on emergency basis. It is further noticed that retired persons and
members of affected family even females, have to make frequent visits in offices
for their due incentives but their cases remain pending for months.
4.
In this regard the controlling officers
must personally be responsible to get prepared necessary documents / files for
all due financial benefits specially for retired / deceased families and the
Chief Executive Officers shall regularly monitor the progress of the cases of
aggrieved / retired families. If any of the retired / aggrieved family is found
deprived or facing inordinate delay, the controlling / concerned officer will
be held responsible and shall be preceded under the disciplinary rules.
What about the retired but alive pensioners in connection with group insurance payment
I think the case is still in the court.
