The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP&PW) has directed to include the name of daughters in the family details of central government employees or pensioners. It has strictly advised against deleting their names.

As per the present rules, all family members inclusive of daughters must be named in the official family records, also in cases where they are not immediately eligible for family pension.
