OMy grand father was a lecturer in a govt college in AP a few decided ago. He retired and started getting pension. He died in 2012 and my grandma(who was a house wife through out her life) started getting his pension as the spouse. She died early last year 2024. My mom is a widow and has a decent business and earning. Her friend advised her not to submit the death certificate because there are many arrears that are yet to be deposited at that time and that the pension stops by itself once we fail to present a life certificate(Jeevan Praman) in january of 2025.
No arrears were deposited. But the pension money continues to be. And my mom was in a rough spot in her business last year because she was taking care of my grand mother. So we started using the pension money to make ends meet. We are in a more stable position right now. The money is being deposited every month and I am scared we will be involved in some fraud case and my mom goes to jail. We are willing to pay all the money we used back to the bank or from wherever it came. Any advice on how to approach this issue will be much appreciated.

AThe day this system of your comes before treasury department, a case of fraud will be registered (420 impersonation) . I don’t know about punishment, but the money illegally received will have to be returned with 12-13% interest.

OHow do you think I should approach this issue? Do you think honestly explaining the circumstances of what happens, and returning the money before they notice reduce any punishment?
-
AYou cannot dishonesty take money, and then explain it honestly.
I would suggest you should consult a lawyer, to atleast save long litigation or jail. But one thing is 100% sure that money will have to be returned with interest.
You can also talk to senior officer in treasury department yo reduce chances of criminal proceedings, but either way the money will have to be returned.
