Seventh Central Pay Commission:Disability Pension of Military Personnel

Seventh Central  Pay Commission:Disability Pension of Military Personnel 
Disability Pension of Military Personnel 
The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommended the following on disability pension:-
The Commission is of the considered view that the regime implemented post 6th CPC needs to be discontinued, and recommended     a return to the slab based system.  The slab rates for disability element for
100 percent disability would be as follows:
Ranks
Levels
Rate per month (INR)
Service Officers
10 and above
27,000
Honorary Commissioned Officers
Subedar Majors / Equivalents
6 to 9
17,000
Subedar / Equivalents
Naib Subedar / Equivalents
Havildar / Equivalents
5 and below
12,000
Naik / Equivalents
Sepoy / Equivalents
The above recommendation has been accepted and Resolution dated 30.09.2016 issued accordingly.       
The 6th CPC dispensation of the calculation of disability element on percentage basis, however, continues for civil side which has resulted in an anomalous situation.  The issue has accordingly been referred to the Anomaly Committee.  However, the disability element which was being paid as on 31.12.2015 to the eligible defence service pensioners will continue to be paid till decision on the recommendations of Anomaly Committee is taken by the Government.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre in a written reply to Shri Dr. Kirit P. Solanki and Shri Rajan Vichare in Lok Sabha on 17.03.2017.

AN EYE OPENER FOR GOVT TO GRANT EQUAL MSP TO ALL DENFENCE FORCES WITH OUT DISCRIMINATION

AN EYE OPENER FOR GOVT TO GRANT EQUAL MSP TO ALL DENFENCE FORCES WITH OUT DISCRIMINATION

The country has witnessed a massive tragedy occurred to our soldiers who were guarding our borders in  the snow covered mountainous terrains of J&K due to sudden falling of avalanches.
Our heart & soul is with bereaved families of the deceased soldiers. It is the duty of the Govt to release the immediate relief to those families & look after them for the rest of their life. The Department Ex-servicemen welfare should ensure that their problems are settled judiciously without any delay. 

If one of the 7th CPC personal had either witnessed or foreseen such hard ship of soldiers whether in peace or in War, they would not have recommended the amount of Rs.5200/- as Military service pay( MSP) to soldiers comparing to  Nurses who  are granted Rs.10800 & officers who are granted 15500/-.

It is relevant to note here that MSP was introduced by 6th CPC to compensate the soldiers  in comparison with the pay scales of their counter parts in civil  for the dissimilar hardship & danger to their life in peace & war. It was also for the nature of 24 hours of duty performed by them unlike their counterparts in civil. It was also for the forfeiture of their fundamental rights during their service tenure, deprivation of comforts & amenities denied to them. I had an opportunity to serve in a forward area which happened to be a desert, where only officers had toilet facilities & all others were deprived of such basic amenities.

The olden name to Ex-soldiers were Azad Fauji (Released soldier) . It denotes that he was confined without freedom for defending the borders of our nation. This is a self sacrifice committed by our young generation in their youth full days to protect the country when their counter parts in civil were enjoying the colorful life outside with all amenities & comforts.

The main purpose of this write up is to high light that War & nature do not differentiate between officers, Soldiers & Nurses. Since this element of pay (MSP) which is unique in nature, being the compensation for extreme hardship due to service conditions should be equal to all in the defense forces from Sepoy to General. While we do not like to use the recent tragedy to pursue our demand for equal MSP but it should be an eye opener for the Govt  at this juncture to re-look in to this grievance.

We hope that the BJP Govt under the leadership of Hon Prime Minister Sri.Narendra Modi  will rise up to the occasion & declare equal MSP to enhance the morale of  all soldiers without further delay.
