Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(33) of the Code on Social Security, 2020 (formerly s.2(h)(i) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972) lists as family a spouse; a minor legitimate or adopted child dependent upon the employee; certain other wholly dependent children (such as a child receiving education up to twenty-one years, an unmarried daughter or an infirm child); dependent parents (including the father-in-law and mother-in-law of a woman employee) whose income does not exceed the prescribed limit; and, where the employee is unmarried and his parents are not alive, a minor brother or sister wholly dependent on him. Married children as such, parents who are not dependent, and the parents of a male employee's wife are not included, and brothers and sisters count only in the limited case stated.
