PART VI

Regulations governing the grant of pension, gratuity or compassionate allowance to the surviving relatives of officers and servants of the Board killed, and to officers and servants of the Board injured, in the execution of their duties.

----------

109. In any case where an officer or servant of the Board is killed in the execution of his duty and the surviving relatives who are also dependants of such officer or servant, owing to reasons which the Board deem sufficient, are not entitled to receive under the Provident Fund or Gratuity rules framed under Section 22 of the Bombay Port Trust Act No.VI of 1879, a sum which, in the opinion of the Board, would be adequate for their support, the Board may grant to the surviving relatives who are also dependants of such officer or servant, in addition to the Provident Fund benefit admissible under the rules, such pension, gratuity or compassionate allowance, as they may deem proper.

Provided, however, that this regulation shall not apply to any officer or servant to whom the provisions of the Indian Workmen’s Compensation Act No.VIII of 1923 are applicable.

Provided also that in the case of officers specified in Section 24 of the Bombay Port Trust Act, the total benefit granted in any case under the above regulations shall not, except with the previous sanction of the Central Government, exceed the amount that would have been admissible to the family of an officer of corresponding rank and status in the service of the Crown.

Note : Relief to families of employees killed in execution of their duties to be paid 36 months’ last drawn pay minus Workmen’s Compensation due, if any.

(See Order under TR No.121 of 26.4.1982)

Provided, however, that this regulation shall not apply to any officer or servant, to whom the provisions of the Indian Workmen’s Compensation Act No.VIII of 1923 are applicable.
