Dear All Military veteran brothers,
We are surprised to note that our DESW –MOD has released a letter on 21-9-2023,
Regarding change of Name of Disability pension.
ENTITLEMENT RULES FOR CASUALITY PENSIONARY AWARDS TO AEMED FORCES PERSONNEL-2023
AND GUIDE TO MEDICAL OFFICERS -2023 REGD.
Vide : F.NO:
16(3) 2023/D(Pen/Pol) / Vol II ,
GOI, MOD- DESW dated 21-9-2023
The name of Disability pension is changed as
IMPAIRMENT RELIEF..
Any relief like Dearness Relief is not exempted from Income Tax.
We feel, as
per this letter, our Disability pension may not be exempted from Income Tax.
As on date, our Disability pension, (Service element +
Disability element ) is exempted
from
Income tax ,
and DE pensioners are benefited.
Hereafter, if
our assumption is correct, the benefit
is going to be removed.
This order supersedes all the previous orders on the subject
Our senior veterans and ESM associations are requested
to go through the letter and be ready
for the loss.
