Hi, In the case of the death of a PF Pensioner, the spouse can claim 50 percent of the pension. Please contact the PF Pension disbursing branch with the death certificate of the pensioner, a copy of the Aadhaar of the beneficiaries, bank account details (original cancelled cheque or attested copy of bank passbook) of the beneficiaries, and proof of age in the case of children.
