Successor of family pension – 37 year old unmarried unemployed daughter

[Kuthos ther]

I am 37yrs old and would like to apply for family pension. My father was a pensioners and died after that my mother was getting family pension and died so whether I am eligible to get the family pension since I am unemployed and unmarried daughter?

I have already replied to a similar question in detail: Family pension to unmarried daughter of more than 25 years age.

Please read that. As per this, if your father was working in the Central Government, then you, being the unmarried and unemployed daughter, would be eligible to get the family pension even if you are above the age of 25 years.

However, since you have not mentioned where your father was working, if your father was working in some other Government or organisation, then you’ll have to check the relevant rules of the concerned Government or organisation where he was working.
