The above rates are derived from the MOD letter dt.15.02.2011.  These rates are subject to confirmation from CDA(P) Allahabad, circular yet to be released.

The fixed War Injury Element at Rs.7020/-, Rs.8600/- & Rs.11760 for ORs, JCOs and Officers respectively has now been made percentage of reckonable emoluments being 100% for Invalided  cases and  60% for superannuated cases. Also Disability Element of pension has been made 30% of  reckonable emoluments.  These rates are 100% disability & proportionately less for others.  These have now been sanctioned retrospectively with effect from 01.01.2006.  However, there has been a cap on the total war injury pension OR disability pension to be equal to reckonable emoluments till 30 Jun 09.  Therefore, arrears are due on this account along with applicable DRs for different periods.

Note: There are certain cases like Invalided pensioners with more than 60% disability whose total pension is protected to be not less than 60% of emoluments and also those whose fixed disability element of pension had been more advantageous – such cases will not be benefited by the latest order.

It is expected that a detailed circular from CDA(P) Allahabad on the subject will clear all doubts.
