Sir,My sister unmarried and staying with my father while taking BSNL VRS in 2020 gave family particulars as father,one brother(myself) and sister with another brother's name missing.
She made main nominee as my sister for receiving Gratuity,pension arrears etc and expired recently in Oct2021 due to cancer illness.
As per CCS Rules Rule 50 subrule 6 states for family as her Spouse, children, Parents,unmarried daughters ,minor brothers, unmarried sisters.
Rule 53 subrule 1 states if Govt servant has family as per definition above then nominee should be done amongst one or more of the family members.
Rule 51 (1)(b)1 states that if one or more surviving family members exist Gratuity should be distributed equally.As per above only my father is surviving family member.
My query is whether my sister or my father is authorised for receiving my deceased sister's gratuity amount.
Dear user,
As per all the rules that you mentioned, your father who is the parent of your deceased sister is the nominee for the gratuity money. In regards to your sister, it will depend whether or not she is married, if not, she also remains a nominee.
I hope I was able to solve your query. Please feel free to leave follow up questions, if any.
