My grandmother retired in 2008 and received her pension and benefits. However, her family pension wasn’t given because there was no nomination or mention of a husband in her service records. Now, a man has come forward claiming to be her husband, married after her retirement. He has only a voter ID card and a gift deed in his name to support his claim. Is he eligible for the family pension?

Based on Indian law, the man’s claim to family pension is unlikely to be successful. Only a legally recognized marriage during her service period entitles a spouse to family pension. A voter ID and gift deed are insufficient proof of marriage, especially if it occurred after retirement.
