We took up the case with Air Force , Record Office, New Delhi , and CDA Allahabad, quoting the above MOD letter. It was rejected in the first instant. Again we represented the case with the condone facility. They were raising lot of queries. Though the Sgt. Was holding the rank for 7 months and few days, they were putting so many conditions.

After series of correspondences, for more than 2 years, now we have received the Revision , Corr.PPO revising the Basic for the Rank of Sgt, Gp-I, 15 yrs, with effect from date of discharge and as on date as Rs.5492/ w.e.f 01-07-2009. They have also mentioned the earlier Rates, period wise, i.e, IV th PC, V th PC and VIth PC/

The Sgt.is very happy and expressed his heart felt gratitude for the persistent efforts made by our Exwel Trust for such a long period

Our Trust is also fully satisfied for having achieved the result though it is after a very long time..

Dear veteran brothers, those who have held a higher Ranks( Paid) for less than 10 months, may try to get the benefit without loosing hope.
