Nomination Under CCS Pension Rules Does Not Override Legal Heir Rights | Family Pension Entitlement Based on SDM Certificate: CAT
Central Administrative Tribunal rules that a nomination for family pension under CCS Pension Rules is not absolute; the legal heir (spouse) proven by an SDM certificate is entitled to the pension, even if the deceased nominated others. The ruling clarifies that nomination merely facilitates disbursement but does not extinguish the rights of legal heirs under succession laws.
