Your mother, as the named beneficiary in army records, has a strong claim to your brother’s dues and pension. The legally binding agreement with your brother’s wife regarding her remarriage might be relevant to her claim. You should consult a lawyer specializing in family law and army regulations to assess the specific legal options and applicable regulations.

After serving 34 years as a Captain in the Indian Army, I was transferred to the pension establishment on March 1st, 2007. My initial pension was set at Rs. 14,775 per month, which I believe was incorrect. Based on my final salary of Rs. 32,290 (including basic pay, grade pay, and MSP), my monthly pension should have been Rs. 16,145. This discrepancy was rectified on September 23rd, 2012, and my pension was adjusted accordingly. However, I request that the correct pension of Rs. 16,145 be made applicable retroactively from March 1st, 2007.
