  3. R/Sir, previously prime minister;s assistance package families of employee who die during service was from 15.6.2014, but new packages in lieu of that is from 9.2.2015 which leads to discrimination.It should be commenced from 15.6.2015, because this package is lieu of that one which is kept in abeyance not from new date or what about those who died between 15.6.2014 to 9.2.2015 for removing this disparity this should be commenced from 15.6.2014.

  4. It is a well awaited approval. I really thankful to PM and his team for this grant of package. A cousin of mine died just 2 months ago and left a wife and two daughters of ages almost 8 and 13. His wife will be easy to raise her daughters now.

  5. Excellent move. My father died in federal service from a job which is now Grade 21. At his death I was 15 and my sister 7 years old, my family went through severe economic hardship which could have been avoided with such a package.

  6. If we see in it in retrospect there may be thousands of such cases of federal government employees, esp those of low grades because for them hardships are even more harder. Its a million $ question for the State to address as to what was the fault of those who died on 31st Jan 2015 or before. In my view logic demands equal treatment or lets sanity and justice prevail courtesy courts interventions.

  7. my father died in September 19,2014 during service ,then we applied for succession certificate for fulfilling the eligibility crieteria of package we got succession letter from court after 2months struggle and spent almost 30000,but at that time package postponeded now Pm revised package from Feburary 2015, what the hell is dis going on ,,what will happen with those died before 6 months or year ,,is that called policy …plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz inform me what will happen with those died in 2014….. waiting for passitve response so plzzzzz
