THE BENEFIT OF BROAD BANDING OF DISABILITY PENSION
As per PCDA(P) Circular No.429 dated 04.03.2009, (Rounding up of disability pensions) the revised minimum disability pension of Rs.702/- (i.e. 20% for w.e.f. 01.01.2006) has been increased to Rs.1,755 w.e.f. 01.07.2009. This rounding up of disability pension from 20%, 30% & 40% to 50% and from 60%, 70%, to 75% and from 80 % 90% to 100% is called broad banding. Now this is applicable to all defence pensioners drawing disability pension as on 01.7.2009 irrespective of date of discharge.
The rounded up rates for different ranks w.e.f. 01.07.2009 are as follows:-
Diff. Ranks | 50% | 75% | 100% |
ORs | Rs.1,755 | Rs.2,633 | Rs.3510 |
JCOs. | Rs.2,150 | Rs.3,225 | Rs.4,300 |
Officers | Rs.2,940 | Rs.4,410 | Rs.5,880 |
It is therefore important, that all those pre 1996 defence pensioners drawing different rates of disability pensions (viz.20%, 30% etc. etc.,) are to submit the Annexure to their Record Office/PSA in Triplicate through their PDA immediately to get their rounded up disability pension.
If the benefits of these orders are to reach the pensioners, the CDA(P) Allahabad
should process these Annexures quickly and issue
Corr PPOs without any delay.
Affected pensioners, please take a print out of Annexure, fill it up and submit in Triplicate immediately. Please get the order printed and keep it handy to show it to the bankers. If you are not getting a Corr PPO within a reasonable time, report the matter to your Record Office.
Very good information for the Disability pensioners. Though the order is issued in March 2010, very few people only know about this. Banks are not bothered to inform the pensioners. It is the effected pensioners only have to take interest and apply for broad banding.
ReplyDeleteTwo persons from abroad have viewed this information but our Indians are not having the habit of viewing the sites. It is the situation sir.
Thanking you for publishing .
I don't think it has been made applicable to all.
ReplyDeleteOnly INVALIDED OUT are covered.
circular 429 reads as under:-
BACK GROUND
2. Consequent upon issue of letter No.1 (2)/97/D (Pen-C) dated 31.01.2001 the
benefit of Broad Banding i.e. Rounding of Disability, 50% (for disability less than
50%) and 75% (for disability between 50% to 75%) and 100% (for disability from
76% to 100%) has been given for those who have been invalided out from the
service on medical ground due to military service on or after 01.01.1996. The
demand of this benefit for Pre-96 defence pensioners has been pending with Govt.
which has been considered by Cabinet Secretary Committee and recommended for
extension of this benefit to Armed Forces Officers and PBOR who were invalided out
of service prior to 01.01.1996 and are in receipt of disability/war injury pension as on
01.07.2009. The Govt. has accepted the above said recommendations and issuedorder vide MOD letter No. 10(01)/D (Pen/Pol)/2009/Vol-II dated 19.01.2010 quoted
above.

invalided out of service prior to 01.01.1996 and are in receipt of disability / war
injury pensions as on 01.07.2009.Wherever,the disability element / war injury
element of pension in Pre 01.01.1996 cases was not allowed for disability being
accepted as less than 20 % at initial stage or subsequent stage on reassessment of
disability, the same will continue to be disallowed and such cases will not be re –
opened.
4. Further, as per above Govt. letter the cap on war injury pension with
reference to emoluments last drawn in cases of disabled pensioners belonging to
category ‘E’ of para 4.1 of this Ministry’s above mentioned letter dated 31.01.2001
shall stand removed with effect from 01.07.2009 for Armed Forces Officers and
PBOR pensioners. The provisions contained in para 8 of MOD letter dated
16.05.2001, para 10.1(b) of MOD letter dated 31.01.2001 and para 6.4 and 7.4 of
letter No. 16(6)/2008(2)/D (Pen/Pol) dated 05.05.2009 shall stand modified to that

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI left the Army in Mar 1994 on completion of terms of service in the rank of Subedar after putting more than 28 years of service. I was granted 30% of Disability Pension with persuation to Higher authorities, as in the initial stage the CDA(P) rejected my case. Now I am getting 30% of Disability pension.
Please advise me in view of the judgement of AFT Chandigarh Bench O.A.No. 329of 2010 dated 04-08-2010 whether this is applicable to me and the Govt orders have been issued. From Ex Sub BD Garg, A-52, Guru Nanak Colony, Sangrur-148001
