Dear Maj Navdeep,
Similar course is presently underway at IIM Calcutta also. A good word from you will also help the officers doing this course to get a foothold in the corporate world. The course gets over on 19 Sep. Placement process is commencing shortly.
Thanks a ton,
Lt Col Devrishi Singhal

Dear Maj Navdeep,
You are doing a yeoman service for the men and women in uniform as also the retired community.I have two queries:
(a) What is the rule position for grant of disability pension for those who seek pre mature retirement after pensionable service.
(b) Can an ex-Serviceman use the rank indicated on the PPO. This has a special reference with respect to Navy, where in a Captain (Col equivalent) with over three years substantive service in rank gets the pension of a Commodore (Brigadier equivalent)though he may not have got instituted to a Commodore whilst in Service. As per the Navy Act, a Captain with three years substantive service in rank can be istituted as a Commodore as this is not a selection rank.
Warm Regards,
A Naval Veteran

This has ref to the Naval Vetrans comment on Naval Capt after three years of service draws the pension of a commodore Equivalent to a Brig.
If this be so ,why an empanelled col for the rank of Brig cannot get the pension of a Brig though the Army wasted out lot of selected/ Empanelled officers retired/ superanuated in that age gp prevalent at that time. If this provisin exists for Navy, Why not for Army.
Maj Navadeep can you throw some light from the legal point of view and fight it out.
