The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has issued
orders for basing the minimum basic pension @ Rs 18000 for disability
pensioners (combined rate of service element/service pension + Disability
Element), war injury pensioners, liberalized family pensioners and special
family pensioners.
The orders of the MoD dated 29th January 2019 can be accessed by clicking here.
The above orders have been issued in consequence
of directions of the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) issued
for all such pensioners under various ministries, issued on 12th
October 2017.
The original orders of the DoPPW can be
accessed here.
Note may be taken of the fact
that the orders are likely to only affect cases wherein the existing total
payout is less than Rs 18,000. For example, in a case where the total of basic
service element/service pension plus disability element is currently less than
Rs 18,000, the same will be upgraded to the said amount.
