The Odisha Cabinet has approved a proposal for an amendment to the Odisha Civil Services (OCS) (Pension) Rules, 1992 that will allow a single dependent transgender person to avail family pension in the case of the death of her parents in government service.
Chief minister Naveen Patnaik, decided that transgender child of a government servant/pensioner who died on or after January 10, 2020, shall be treated as an unmarried daughter and will be eligible for pension in case there is no other elder unmarried daughter.
The Odisha Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1992, will be amended for the same.
The word ‘transgender’ was earlier not included in the definition of child in pension rules.
The state government has also enhanced the monthly income limit of the claimant of the government servant from Rs 4,440 to Rs 10,000 from all other sources to be eligible as family pension claimants.
