The lump sum amount being received from the Govt. in consideration of the death of the employee on duty or in Service. It is not taxable in your mother's hand as income. . However, if the financial assistance is continued to be given on monthly basis or as a pension to the deceased person's widow, it can be termed as family pension. .
