ELIGIBILITY OF SERVICE ELEMENT AND DISABILITY ELEMENT FOR PRE 2006 BOARDED OUT VETERANS

 

Dear veteran brothers, 

We had already published the same article. Once again we are publishing the same as still some banks have not included the  service element, paying Disabilityelement only..

There was a provision for granting DISABILITY ELEMENT  only for those

 who were boarded out with less than 10 yrs of service prior to 1-1-2006..

Now, our Govt., on considering the sufferings of such veterans , has  published

  an order in 2020  for granting both Service element and Disability for such veterans

  Whether Pre  or Post 2006 invalided out veterans w.e.f  01-01-2006.

The Dept of Pension and Pension welfare has issued an order on 28-7-2020.

We understand that , still some Banks are paying only Disability element .

The Order is very clear to pay both SERVICE  ELEMENT and DISABILITY ELEMENT  to such veterans w/e/f  1-1-2006.

The affected veterans may approach  their Bank branches for getting this benefit

 or  they can approach our Trust office for guidance and help.
