ANDHRA PRADESH REVISED PENSION RULES, 1980 (As ... - APHB

APPENDIX - VII
Nomination for the Payment of Arears of Pension
277
Every pensioner, to whom any pension is payable, has to nominate
any other person, to receive after the death of the pensioner, all moneys
payable to the pensioner on account of such pension, before or after the date
of such nomination and which remains unpaid immediately before the date of
the death of the pensioner. For this purpose, every pensioner, who has retired
has to nominate a person in Form ‘A’, annexed, in triplicate and submit the
same to the respective pension disbursing authority. The pension disburing
authority, after due verification shall return one copy to the pensioner and the
other copy to the Head of the Office/Department from where, the pensioner
retired while retaining the third copy with him. In the case of those who retire
hereafter, the person should submit the nomination within three months before
or after the date of retirement. The Head of the office after receipt of the
same, shall return one copy, duly attested, to the pensioner and one copy to
the Pension issuing authority, who shall pass it on to the Pension disburing
authority alongwith Pension Payment Order, after due verification. In cases
where the nomination made earlier has to be modified for any reason,
indicating the cases where a nominee predeceases the pensioner, the revised
nomination has to be made in form ‘B’ annexed. A nomination made in
accordance with these instructions and accepted by the Pension Disbursing
Authority or the Head of the Office, shall be conclusive proof with regard to
the person nominated to receive arrears of pension. The arrears of pension
payable under these instructions, however, will be paid according to the
existing rules governing the mode of payment of pension. If the pensioner
fails to make a nomination within the sptipulated period, the heirs of the deceased
pensioner will have to follow the normal procedure laid down in the
Treasury rules, for claiming life time arrears as usual.
The pension disburing authorities, in the case of pensioners and the
Heads of Offices in the case of serving employees, may bring these
instructions to the notice of pensioners/serving employees for execution of
the nomination forms.
Note :- This procedure is to be followed in cases where nomination form was not simultaneously
submitted alongwith application for pension as specified in G.O.Ms.No.263, Finance
& Planning (FW.PSC) Department, dt. 23-11-98
