Problems with LMC Soldiers : Question on Govt Decision
Applicability of disability pension is a very complex matter and has a huge ambiguity as feedback received from the environment. Before September 2024, which disease was considered as 30% the same thing is now considered at 2%.

Disability pension for normal retired persons has already been discontinued from Sept 2023. Lets know the detailed information on all aspects of your disability pension in this table
