On popular demand and in order to ensure more support to the military community and their families, I shall attempt to answer queries on military benefits to selected questions. The Q & A session shall be posted as a standard post on the blog at regular (but not fixed) intervals subject to availability of time at my end.
The queries may be mailed to me at navdeepsingh.india@gmail.com with ‘Q & A’ as the subject. Some rules :
1. Only queries on broad military benefits and pensionary matters shall be entertained and individual calculations etc may not be sought. For calculation based questions, use the chat-box or comments tab instead so that other readers and visitors can take this load off me.
2. Please do not repeat your query through mail in case it is not featured on the Q & A session since only selected questions shall be featured. It may please be appreciated that my profession does not grant me such luxury of time. Also do not mind if I fail to answer you individually. Please also specifically intimate whether you want your name to appear with your query or not.
3. Thirdly, keep it simple, broad, sweet and short :-)

Thanx, Navdeep, for your efforts. Just listen to the plight of a fauzi after his death. So, your new venture is all the more praiseworthy.
A STORY OF A FAUJI !
Last night Sleeping I (Fauji ) died... or so it seemed,
Then I went to heaven
But only in my dream
Up there St Peter met me
Standing at the Pearly Gates,
He said, "I must check your record...
Please stand here and wait."
He turned and said "Your record
Is covered with terrible flaws,
On earth I see you rallied
For every losing cause."
I see that you drank alcohol,
smoked and partied too,
Fact is, you've done everything
A good person should never do.
We can't have people like you up here....
Throughout your life all you did was hear,
You carried out orders without pausing to think.
You never asked for instructions in ink..
Then he read the last of my record
Took my hand and said, "Come in."
You stood in isolated places and shivered alone
You left your kith, kin, hearth and home
You come from an unresponsive, ungrateful nation
You were denied your rights by every Pay Commission
He led me up to the Chief of Heaven ...
"Take him in and treat him well",
He has served in the Indian Military ...
He's done his time in hell.
Suri,
That's great. You have said it allllll in such a simple language.
Well done.

This would be a great single window repository for the hapless fauji running in the labyrinthine bureaucratic web. Is it going to be s single post amended time to time or will appear as separate posts? For my two cents, I would request this Q&A to be in the form of a single post/page/link where the needy might browse through the content.Thanks again Maj Navdeep.
Dear Navdeep,
This is a noble idea and you desrve acolades and sincere appreciation of Fauzies for that. There are thousands of agencies who are entrusted with job. But you know they also make their job diccult and out of commnors reach so that they can make a buck or even nothing else just could boss around throwing their weight. These Babus as parasites exist from MoD level down upto company clerk.
हर शाख पे उल्लू बैठा है...
In such asituation your feture of questions and answers will be of great help to officers who are supposed to be "jack of all trades".. including legal issues.
Kindly do give priority to minor lagal and entitlement issues. That is where they are found most deficient including JAG officers who are the biggest obstacles in the administration of Justice.. They are advisors at prosecution stage,the reviewers at confirmation stage, advisor at appeal stage... That is mockery of justice...!!
The the cener of all problems for PBOR is the PCDAs and PAO (OR) which have become dens of biggest corruptionand most dreaded organisation.
I wish you all the success. Do cater for comments so that others in the know of things could contribute.
Dear Major Navdeep,
Sincere appreciations for your selfless and noble gesture, particularly when you are oriented towards guiding the aggrieved to the portals of justice.Nothing can be more satisfying in your/ your well-wishers' lives than what you are aiming to do. I am sure the efforts will yield fruitfull results to all the Military Service personnel. As an old. unbiassed, senior civilian (not of babu clan), my hearty wishes and blessings!
Great job Navdeep! Keep it up with all my thanks and regards. We all greatly appreciate it.
@Kaps
Sir, there would be separate posts and a series of Q&A with about 5-10 queries @ each post. We'll have them under a single label of 'Q and A' which can be clicked to access all Q&A sessions. The Q and A label is already functional on the blog.
HOPE our longterm demand for an update on DACP implementation for AMC will be entertainedin Q n A section.
Hi Navdeep,
Thanx for your selfless service to the "Men in Olives" & out of olives.
I sincerely want to contribute towards this effort. Please do let me know how can I help you towards this noble cause.

Navdeep sir,
Thanks a lot for for your efforts. May god bless you and your family.
1. I have two questions for which i have not received any reply till date. My questions are as following:
(a) Any move on lowering of col ts promotion to 20/21 years? if yes, when it is likely to come?
(b) Is retirement age of col ts going to be raised by 2/3 yrs? if yes, when it is likely to come?
2. I am not a contender for (a) but I would ceratinly be affected by(b)if it comes in near future.
3. An expeditious reply may help me in my planning.
God bless u.

There are two methods of calculating revised pension of pre-2006 retirees.
1. 50% of (minimum in respective pay band + Grade Pay + MSP + X factor of Rs 1400 +Classification pay) for 33 years of service. For lesser period proportionate pension.
Weightage- Sepoy-10 Years, Naik-8 years and havildar 6 years
2. 50% of (maximum of pay scale as on 01 Jan 96 for the respective rank + classification pay) x 2.26 + DA post 6th CPC. This is for 33 years of service. Proportionately lesser for lesser service.
Out of the two above whichever is higher is applicable to the individuals.
Pension orders can be accessed on website: pcdapension.nic.in
In case of help, kindly contact on mobile-09435056782
cda and dpdo have not acted yet to pay revised pension to wg cdr why blame banks wg cdr laxman mail l_Laxman2000@ yahoo .co.in
sir,
We must refrain from putting comments like the first one....The president of India never gave an invitation to us to join the army... and we dont need demotivated ppl here...wud request you to kindly edit such comments.
Sir, I was watching the speech from Lal Kila by Hon,able Prime Minister Of India on 15 Aug 09
One Rank One Pension
Govt has accepted the substantially increase(Bhari Vardhi, Vastvik Vardhi, Thos Vardhi) the pension of ex military .
An attempt to bring it as nearer to the "one Rank one pension" demand of armd forces as possible
Budget Allotment - Rs 2100 crores
Beneficiers - 12 lakhs
annual per capita- 17500
monthly allotment = 1458
Rank to Rank gap is much more than the amount comes to calculation .
May I know how the gap will be fulfilled.

Dear All,
Let us not belittle our soldiers. Let us not use the term PBORs. They are JCOs, SNCOs, NCOS and ORSs. Let the Babus use the term. Our Serving bretheren has lost the ability for moral protests. Let us not degrade ourselves. Thanks.
