Family/ Widow Pension Scheme (P.B.O.C.W.W.B)

Financial Assistance: ₹1,000/- as family pension until remarriage.

Note:

If both spouses are Board beneficiaries, the surviving spouse does not receive family pension.

But if the husband/wife, either remarried or he/she gets an old age pension from the Government then they shall not be eligible for family pension.

If both the husband and wife are the beneficiaries of the Board and both are getting pension then in the event of the death of one of them, the other one shall not be eligible for family pension.
