Reference: F(E)III/2001/PN1/28 dt. 18.10.2002

Grant of provisional family pension in relaxation of rules/orders in respect of employees kidnapped by insurgents/terrorists in terrorist infected areas – reg. In terms of instructions issued vide Board’s letter No. F(E)III/86/PN1/17 dt. 19.9.86, 27.3.91 and 21.1.1994, the family of a missing Railway employee can be paid in the first instance, the amount of salary due, leave encashment due and the amount of his PF contributions. Although family pension in such cases can be sanctioned and paid one year after the date of lodging the FIR, however, it accrues from the date of lodging the FIR or on expiry of leave of the employee, who had disappeared, whichever is later. On receipt of references from some of the terrorist infected Zonal Railways viz. N.E. and N.F. Railways, where the cases of Railway servants having been abducted, have been reported, the matter regarding grant of family pension to the family of such employees has been examined in consultation with the nodal department i.e. DOP&PW and Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. They are of the opinion that provisional family pension can be sanctioned in terms of the above orders after completion of one year from the date of lodging FIR of the incident of abduction to the family of the Railway employee, who has been abducted. This would be subject to Indemnity Bond being furnished by the family that in case the employee returns alive, the money paid by way of family pension shall be adjusted against the dues that may accrue to the employee. However, all such cases which require relaxation of one year condition will be considered by the Board in consultation with DOP&PW. Keeping in view the DOP&PW’s advice as above the cases for sanction of provisional family pension to family of kidnapped employees may be dealt with in terms of Board’s orders dt. 19.9.86, 27.3.91 and 21.1.94 and the cases which need relaxation of one year condition stipulated in Board’s orders referred to above may be forwarded for Board’s decision in consultation with DOP&PW.
