meanwhile i receive arrears in December 2000 of rs 3072/-
From August 2001 the pension amount increased to rs 1986+480+480/- and it continued till that way till January 2002.
We got two account opened for my two sons in Feburary 2002 and rs 480+480 was deposited in thier respective account and i was debited rs 1986/- from then on.

The maximum widow pension as per Table C payable on 01.02.97 is Rs. 1750. Child pension is 25% of widow pension, i.e 1750x25% = 437.50 rounded to 438 each.
As per the Section 32 of EPS-95, there should be annual valuation on pension fund. Accordingly hike of 4%, 5.5%, 4%, 4% were granted for the period 16.11.95 to 15.11.96, 16.11.96 to 31.3.98, 1.4.98 to 31.3.99, 1.4.99 to 31.3.2000 respectively on pension for the pensioners on roll at that time. As your pension is applicable from 01.02.97 onwards, first hike of 4% is not payable to you. But you had to get balance 5.5+4+4 = 13.5%. That is why your pension enhanced from 1750 to 1986. But at the same time child pension should also be hiked to 13.5%, resulting an amount of Rs. 497. But you mentioned that it was enhanced to Rs. 480 only. This you make into the notice of the concerned RPFC. (497 is from 1.4.2000 onwards. From 1.4.99 it should be 480 and from 1.4.98 it should be 462).
You are eligible for a pension of Rs. 1986 only. The child pension has to be stopped on attaining an age of 25 years. Hence the procedure of EPFO is correct in this regard.
