Comment: A well written reply by the Manager, Personnel Wing of the Canara Bank, Bangalore. It clears all doubts and now all the widows of ex-servicemen who were re-employed in Canara Bank can apply for the family pension in addition to the defence family pension, if they are otherwise eligible.

This may also be noted that, the same will be applicable to other public sector banks also.
However, the State Bank of India gives a different reply. The reply received from PPG department SBI, LHO Chennai on the subject will be published tomorrow.
