Hi,
Yes, she is eligible for a pension. As per PF norms, the spouse is eligible for a pension in case of the death of the member while in service, provided the employer has deposited funds in the EPS account for at least one month.

Dear Sir,
EPFO denied to pay widow pension, citing that the member had already reached the age of 58 years while in service, and the total service was less than 10 years. Therefore, pension benefits cannot be granted.
