WAR INJURY PENSIONERS TO
KNOW:
PPO WILL be denoted
by: D/ BC / 123 / year.
War injury pension is
sanctioned to Military Personnel who is injured in a WAR or specified WAR Like activities – (
Category D & E )
War injury pension consists
of Two elements:
1. War injury Element 2. Service element.
1) Service Element: For Invalided out cases, it is equal to
retiring pension based on qualifying service up to the date on which he/ she
would have retired in that Rank in
normal course including weight age. No
minimum service is required for earning
this service element.
For Example;
A Havildar , Group-B, was
injured in war in his 10th
year of service, and invalided out . His
qualifying service will be taken as 24 yrs + 5 yrs
So, the service element as
per Cir 430 for 24 yrs will be 6564/-
2) WAR INJURY ELEMENT:
This is according to the
percentage of War Injury .
If it is sanctioned at 100%
for the invalided case, the WI will be 100% of emolument of the soldier
at the time of injury.
Here the emolument in this case
say 11640/, Then the WI is
11640/-
Suppose it was say
30%.......then the
War injury element will
be…..11640 X 30% =3492/-
Previously WI for
100% was fixed rate of 7020
- Sep to Hav.
For 30%..........it was ..7020 X 30%= 2106/-
Compare the
difference.
Previous Rate of War injury Element- 100% was …………….
Sep to Hav……………………..7020/-
Nb.Sub to
Sub.Major………8600/-
Comm officers &
Hony.Officers………………..11760/-
Now the rate will vary
according to Rank, Group and qualifying service for each veterans.
Liberalised Disability
Pension:
According to CDA Circular
No.456 Para 6.( b), in cases where the
aggregate of service element plus War Injury Element is less than 80%of total
emoluments it should be stepped to 80% of the total emoluments.
Example:
A Sepoy B Group 15 yrs. Service having Service Element:
Rs.4603(Cir.430)
War injury element @ of
20% (7020 x 20%) …. Rs.1404
Total … …. ….. …..
Rs.6007
But as per the liberalized
disability pension stepping up to 80% it
should Rs.9200 x 80% = Rs.7360/-
So there is a difference
of Rs.1353 in the basic pension. All
affected veterans are to apply to CDA (P) through their record offices and get
revised PPO to this effect.
Note: For those who were discharged on completion of terms , their Rate will be –
For 100% W.I, the Rate is
60% of the emolument.
If Constant attendance is
sanctioned , it is now Rs.3000/- per
month , no DA.
This allowance will be enhanced
by 25 % when the DA rate is increased above 50%, But it is not automatic, we have to inform
the RO and get sanction. We have not
heard any bank has implemented this order.
The affected veterans may
take up the case with their record
office for getting the revised PPO.
