This is with reference to the blogpost of 09 May 2011 wherein it was informed that as announced by the Finance Minister during the Union budget, orders for a fresh scheme for grant of a lumpsum ex-gratia amount for invalided personnel had been issued on the civil side for Central Armed Police Forces (formerly known as Central Paramilitary Forces).
The said orders have been issued for defence services now, effective from the same date as applicable to civil personnel.
Defence personnel disabled with attributable / aggravated disabilities and consequently invalided out shall now be entitled to Rs 900,000 (Nine Lacs) for 100% disability, proportionately reduced for lesser percentage of disability. The said lumpsum shall be applicable for people with 20% or above disability and the provisions of broad-banding or rounding-off of percentage for purposes of calculation of disability element shall not be applicable for computation of the newly introduced ex-gratia lumpsum.
The scheme is a fresh welfare measure with no connection with the recommendations of the pay commission and hence shall be made applicable only to those personnel who were invalided out / boarded out with more than 20% disability after 01-04-2011.
This ex-gratia lumpsum shall be in addition to the war-injury pension / disability pension / CAA etc and other welfare related schemes.

Fantastic Fantastic NEWS. Nobody wants to avail this but if God forbid if it happens, this is an welcome benefit. Thank you Maj Navdeep for posting this important piece of information.Regards Doctor
Thanks for the info.May no body need it but just in case atleast it is there.What about BB to pre 1996 defence retirees on similar lines as for civilians of pre 1996, who have been authorised long time back.After Buttar vs UOI case in Mar 2011 it was expected that the same will in all likelyhood be implemented for defence personnel too.Anything known regarding the case ,progress etc.
Thanks in advance

Nice, but belated. And that it takes the iniative CAPF or MHA to provide something similar to our brethren is a sad commentary on state of affairs.
It is only here that we had caste system within the 'dead and disabled' like pre-Kargil, post kargil , 'kargil with in kargil theatre' and 'kargil outside kargil'. Hope the situation is ameliorated with the new order.
@navdeep,
can u pl point to the link whr govt notification for ex-gratia lump sum for invalidment can be found
will this be applicable to all pers retiring with disability since all of them are to be treated as invalided out at the time of retitement ?
My dear Navdeep,
Would you mind updating about the current position of broad banding of disability element for superannuating officers as there were many judgements by AFT and High courts in past two years. Or should we individually file the cases in AFT.Please update...thanks
Maj Navdeep,
Sorry for putting this in this post.
There is some news on 90paisa.blogspot.com that granting of one additional increment to government sevants whose date of next increment fell between 01 february 2006 to 01 july 2006 has been accepted by the national anomaly committee during their meeting on 05 january 2012.
I hope it will be applicable for defence services personnel as well.
may i request major navdeep to comment please.
Is it applicable for those disable people also, having more than 20% disability (actually a Battle Casualty) who are retiring in normal course of time?
