Central Government taken a great decision to amend in the existing pension rules

If a Central Government employee died while in service, his family will be entitled for family pension at the rate of 50% of last drawn pay for the period of ten years. And thereafter the rate of family pension will be reduced to 30% of last pay drawn by the deceased employee.
