No one has sincere thoughts about those soldiers who have lost their lives. many of them have lost limbs while removing the mines. many of them have lost eye sights. these disabilities restrict their job opportunity in the civil world. soldiers with disabilities solely depend on their pension/ pay. with growing inflation how will they live their lives. many of them have families. old parents children. <br /><br />as a proud wife of a truly brave soldier who lost his limbs while removing the mines at a very young age feel sad and also angry .I dont want my children to join the army in our country because they are not respected, they are not given their dues . it is true that soldiers and God is remembered only in hard times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-29800956074759412752016-10-12T22:22:44.330-07:002016-10-12T22:22:44.330-07:00" The ratio of maximum to minimum quantum of ..." The ratio of maximum to minimum quantum of compensation for disability across the ranks is now disproportionately high at 8.6." If this is the contention, based on which the VII CPC recommended a return to a slab based system for the Armed Forces, the same should hold true for the Civil Services too. In fact,the ratio of maximum to minimum quantum of compensation for disability across the ranks in Civil Services would be greater than 8.6, since the variation in pay scales is also greater.<br />As per the recommendations of the VII CPC, a civil servant, who in most cases rests on his fanny for most of his working years, will draw a higher disability pension, as compared to a soldier of an equivalent rank. That....is the crux of the issue, which, Mr Mathur, as the Chairman of the VII CPC, should have addressed.Bharat Chevurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298010856311767064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-66261524213635759582016-10-12T01:30:24.367-07:002016-10-12T01:30:24.367-07:00Shuklaji,

Inefficiency affects all. Unless we reduce the size of the standing Army and arrive at an optimal size everybody is going to suffer. <br /><br />And the benefits enjoyed by the personnel are not as bad as a developing country like India can provide its people.<br /><br />"A major with ten years service earns Rs 98,300 per month" This is way more than even the highly risky private sector job pays. Even if you forget the orderlies, the other benefits like tax free canteen items like cars, groceries and life time access to the best facilities like golf clubs and health - We are are talking about a privileged class which is mirror of the Royals. <br /><br />Because of such extravagance, the poor disabled soldiers could not be taken care better...<br /><br />Any idea how much Gen.

And what seems to be the Govt's response, ( whatever the explanation) how are they seeing it and how that will benefit the solider.<br /><br />It would be great if you could respond.<br /><br />The Recommendation by the 7th Pay Commission.<br /><br />"The feature that stands out when the historical evolution of the regime relating to disability pension is studied is the shift from slab based system to a percentage based disability pension regime consequent to the implementation of the VI CPC’s recommendations. This move has been contrary to the tenets of equity insofar as treatment of disability element between Officers and JCOs/ORs is concerned borne out by the fact that the ratio of maximum to minimum quantum of compensation for disability across the ranks is now disproportionately high at 8.6. The Commission is therefore of the considered view that the regime implemented post VI CPC needs to be discontinued, and recommends a return to the slab based system. The slab rates for disability element for 100 percent disability would be as follows:"<br /><br />http://www.gservants.com/recommendations-of-seventh-cpc-in-respect-of-disability-pensions/<br /><br />last para.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-2564999436078406142016-10-10T06:43:13.873-07:002016-10-10T06:43:13.873-07:00These b'crats in tandem with poorly informed p...These b'crats in tandem with poorly informed politicians will ruin the defence forces.
