Centre: Stepmother Not Entitled to IAF Family Pension

Centre: Stepmother Not Entitled to IAF Family Pension

Imagine a soldier who died, and their stepmother wants to get a family pension.

The government says that, according to the rules, only the real mother can get the money.

The stepmother disagrees and is taking her case to the Supreme Court.

The court will decide if the rules should include stepmothers.

The government argues that stepmothers are not in the list of people eligible to receive the pension under the law.

The soldier's stepmother is challenging the rules.
