Money after a death in the family

Twenty thousand rupees, once, when the earning member of a poor household dies

This is not a pension. It is one payment to a family that has lost the person who earned, and in practice it is the money that pays for the funeral. Claim it within three years. It is separate from the family pension, and a family can be owed both — the family pension is for the wife or husband of someone who was already a pensioner, this one is for a household whose earner never was.
