7th pay commission recommendations on Death Gratuity
7th CPC recommendations on Death Gratuity – One more slab introduced in the existing system. 5 to 20 years is split in to 5 to 11 years and 11 to 20 years.
The Commission has received representations pointing to a need for rationalization of current slabs for death gratuity, especially for the slab of 5 to 20 years of qualifying service in which family pensioners are stated to be placed at a disadvantageous position.
Analysis and Recommendations
As per Rule 50 of Pension Rules, the death gratuity admissible will be as follows, subject to the maximum limit prescribed for the gratuity:
|
Length of Service |
Rate of Death Gratuity |
|
Less than one year |
2 times of monthly emoluments |
|
One year or more but less than 5 years |
6 times of monthly emoluments |
|
5 years or more but less than 20 years |
12 times of monthly emoluments |
|
20 years or more |
Half month of emoluments for every complete six monthly period of qualifying service subject to a maximum of 33 times of monthly emoluments |
The Commission sought the views of the government in this regard. Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare stated that it had received similar demands from pensioners’ association and it feels a need for a review of the existing slabs for death gratuity.
The Commission, after examination of the matter, recommends the following revised rates for payment of death gratuity:
