Military moms (and moms to be) have a reason to be happy.
The govt has finally enhanced fully paid maternity leave from the existing 60 days to 180 days bringing it at par with civilians as per 6th CPC recommendations. The same is applicable to all, including Short Service Commissioned Officers. The maternity leave shall be valid for two children. The good news is that even those officers who have already joined duty on or after 01 Sept 2008 after availing the previously existing 60 days leave, can still avail the balance. Good gesture this one. The govt letter can be viewed and downloaded by clicking here.

navdeep sir, congratulations for reaching 1000000 visitors in this blog. its a wonderful blog and very helpful indeed
Dear Maj Navdeep,
1. Contribution of ur site in putting us in pb4 can not be denied/ debated by any one. May I request you to focus on certain other important issues pertaining to service officers. Some of the issues in my opinion are :
(a) Uniform retirement age for all ranks.
(b) Liberal exit policy (with three months of notice) with a few years of intial engagement depending on branch/arm. Modelaties may be worked out.
(c) Removal of pernmanently passed over system with certain weightage to seniority in addition of taking average of last seven/ten reports.
(d) Posting to important/ critical assignment may be based on ARs.
2. Your site is now being read by any and every one who is even remotely linked to services. Therefore I beleive that at some time the focus and synergy on these issues would definately lead to removal of some of the self inflicted misries of service officers.
3. I also understand that not only u can pass these issues to ur contacts in decision making but also fight it out from legal angle.
4. Eagerly looking forward for some action from ur end.
As always, regards and best wishes.

Blog is an instant success.I have seen many blogs covering pay commission.The one which was equally good was pay commission for babus.But with time that blog failed 2 update the posts in time and lost its position.Comments on the chat box of this blog that this blog is not pb4.com is a pointer 2 that.U have hits when u talk abou a burning issue.The author of blog should not loose the sensitivity to the subject.The no of comments on a post tells u which issue is more sensitive and you get the answer whether u r pb4.com or not
Hearty congrats Navdeep...The hits speak of the popularity, truth and wisdom. Keep blogging and educating us.
congrats Navdeep on acheiving the millionth hit.your patience is commended sifting through so much of material.

The first step in this dirction should be making retirement age same for Col TS and Col Select.

Hats off!
Points that our guys are tech savvy but why then is there no debate on the burning issues and where the AF need to be when these guys reach the decision making stage.
Tapan at 11.29 AM has listed a few issues which need to be debated among others. May be you can open topical posts on some of these issues under your moderation.
No reply on the MES JCOs grouse, yet?
Once again- congrats for the million hits and thanks for the yeoman service.
Dear Navdeep,
Congratulations for having fans who've visited ur blog a million times.....wish u man many moe.
Your sincerity and time that you have devoted to the men in uniform makes your blog such a powerful one. The platform for discussions and debates on any topics related to the sevice gives the men in uniform a freedom to express themself covertly/overtly and yet read many the people in the power corridor. So keep going and keep doingthe good work. Wishing you all the best in the years to come. Do take up more issues and you will earn a billion blessings in return.

hi, what about military pops - i mean paternity leave of 15 days is it there for us? kindly somone give me the rule at my address - shahbaaz323@yahoo.com. Thanx
Congrats navdeep.can you throw some light on paternity leave along with ref
Military moms can enjoy.But what about her male counterpart who has to do her job in addition to his own.
Maternity leave should be made half pay.The half deducted from the lady officers pay should be given to the overburdened officer as an incentive.
Is the child-care leave also applicable for "military moms" - if yes whether both for PC and SSC officers? Thanks
