Family Pension Checklist PDF & Word

What is the Family Pension Checklist?

The checklist is a single page summary of every document and form a nominee must arrange to claim family pension. It is used alongside the Family Pension Form to make sure nothing is missed and that the accounts office can process the case in one pass instead of returning it for missing papers.

Why use a checklist for a family pension claim?

Family pension cases are delayed most often by missing or mismatched documents rather than by the rules themselves. A checklist lets the nominee confirm each item is present, complete, and attested before submission, which is the biggest factor in getting the pension sanctioned quickly.

What documents does the checklist include?

The checklist typically covers every document the accounts office needs to verify the death, the relationship, and the entitlement:

• Completed and signed Family Pension Form
• Official death certificate of the employee
• Last Pay Certificate (LPC) and pension papers of the deceased
• Non-remarriage certificate (for the widow/widower)
• Life certificate of the claimant
• Nomination form or proof of relationship
• Marriage certificate (for the widow/widower)
• Unmarried status certificate (for dependent children)
• Copies of CNIC of the nominee and the deceased

Who should use this checklist?

The checklist is meant for the nominee or family member who is preparing the family pension application, and for the DDO or department clerk who is assembling and verifying the file before sending it to the accounts office. Keeping a copy on file also helps with the periodic renewals later.

• The nominated family member or claimant
• The widow, widower, or dependent children applying
• The departmental clerk or DDO processing the case
• Anyone assisting the family with the paperwork

How do I use the checklist?

Work through the checklist methodically so the file is complete before it leaves your hands:

1. Download the checklist in PDF or Word from this page.
2. Gather each listed document and form in turn.
3. Have each certificate attested by the authorised officer.
4. Tick off every item only once it is ready and verified.
5. Submit the complete set together with the Family Pension Form.
6. Keep a stamped copy of the submitted file as your proof.

Where do I submit the completed set?

Submit the complete, checked file to your concerned Accounts Office or Accountant General (AG) Office, routed through the deceased employee's parent department. Submitting every document together in one file is what keeps the case moving instead of being returned for a missing paper.

Important tips to avoid rejection and delay

Keep these points in mind as you complete the checklist:

• Use the official death certificate, not just a hospital slip.
• Ensure names and CNIC numbers match exactly across all documents.
• Have the non-remarriage and life certificates attested correctly.
• Confirm the LPC and pension papers are the final, signed versions.
• Keep a stamped acknowledgement copy for renewals and follow up.
