Dear Sir,
One of our former employees passed away 13 years ago. His wife currently receives Widow pension and minor pension. She has inquired about the non-deposit of pension in September 2010, and the PF office has directed her to contact the company.
My question is, as a company, what are our obligations in this situation, if any? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Well, just thinking aloud. Possible chances could be that the widow of your deceased employee has remarried and hence is not eligible for a pension, or the minor has now become a major and hence is not eligible for a pension. Rather than assuming things, it would be better to inquire directly with the PF Office or the bank through which the amount is being remitted.

Dear All,
Every widow or widower has to file a certificate every year stating that he/she has not remarried and is alive, as rightly pointed out by Shri Parth Chakravarty. Children's pension is eligible until the pensioner's child attains the age of 25 years. When a child reaches 25 years, his/her pension will be stopped, and the next child (if any) will start receiving the pension. If there is no such next eligible child, the pension of the widow/widower will increase proportionally.
Special (handicapped/disabled) children continue to receive the pension regardless of age beyond 25 years, but this information must be included in the initial pension application in form 10-D. The concerned bank will be in a better position to explain the reasons for the stoppage of pension in the case mentioned by Shri Prashant Deshpande Ji.

Dear Mr. Prashanth,
I agree with Mr. Shyam Agrawal's advice. There is nothing that the company has to do here. However, you can help the widow by advising her to visit the bank and check whether she has submitted the surviving certificate (which is generally filled and submitted in the bank during November every year).
