Comment: These orders were issued as early Jan 1999. Very few have availed the
benefits. Ex-servicemen Welfare Associations should verify the documents
of their members and help them to get these benefits.
Please note that the benefits were first sanctioned to the widows of the
reservists and thereafter to the living reservists. This is a very old order, still
benefits can be claimed with arrears.
