CHANGE OF NAME- DISABILITY PENSION TO IMPAIRMENT RELIEF

 

  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.
