Before I begin with this post, I have something to say. There have been comments on this blog that only sixth pay commission issues should be focussed on.
While pay commission / status / equivalence issues are an integral part and parcel of this blog, may I also remind that my thrust has always been on spreading well rounded knowledge based on facts & documents as also initiating debate on important military (non-operational) issues. This blog deals not just with the PayCom but also with military benefits which shall remain central to its theme. Of course being a burning issue, PayCom matters will be provided primacy.
Now with the post. I’ve received many queries and mails on three pertinent issues. While I try my best to reply to individual mails, separate replies sometimes become difficult because of professional commitments. Hence, here are your answers :-)
1. No, toll tax exemption is not available to retired personnel. For more read this post and this one too.
2. Yes, retired personnel in receipt of disability pension are entitled to Income Tax exemption on the entire amount of pension and not just the disability element. For details read this and this.
3. No, the notification for defence pensioners has not yet been issued.

Dear Maj Navdeep,
I do agree that ur site is not addressing only the sixth pay commission and its anomalies.
Ur efforts in bringing out so many issues and claryfying many of the myths will always be praiseworthy.
However I would like to request u to kindly provide us the update on the progress of removing the anomalies by GOM. A large section of officers are interested in it.
with u always. Thanks
What is the status of the Supreme Court judgement regarding payment of enhanced pension to major generals who retired prior to 1.1.1996. the payment was to be made within three months with 10% interest.Is the Govt doing something about it?
@navadeep,
notification has not been issued .BUT Resolution has been kept in MOD WEB SITE.
Maj Navdeep - I again make use of this forum to compliment you - you are doing an absolutely amazing job with your treasure chest of information on administrative issues. I am sure thousands of faujis will benefit financially from the info posted and thus sing your praises - I hope your assistance to the armed forces community to hold their head high with izzat is recognized by the powers that be - for the Armed Forces remain the last frontier to retain the independence of our wonderful nation. Unfortunately our countrymen led by some selfish and misguided people in the corridors of power are hell bent on wrecking havoc on the fine institution that the armed forces have grown to be - Thanks again and JAI HIND
Forget it friends.
Its a great conspiracy against Forces.
Watch IBN7.Another tehelka.
Now its turn of a Maj Gen from Ord.
Politician,Babus,Media all are hand in glove to malign your integrity.
Its a well planned operation and make you feel isolated.
ITS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE COUNTRY.

Pay panel: Three Member Committee yet to decide Lt Colonel pay
The three-member ministerial committee to look into grievances of the Armed Forces met for a round of discussions on Wednesday afternoon, but the matter remained inconclusive even as the deadline for a final report on the issue is approaching fast.
Sources said several permutations and combinations are being worked out, but more meetings would be required before a final decision can be taken on the matter. The committee, headed by External Affairs Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, met on Wednesday even as hectic rounds of consultations are on with the Armed Forces and other services.
The committee, set up by the Prime Minister, was given a deadline to prepare a final report for the Cabinet by the end of this month. The last round of consultations with the armed forces took place on Monday when the Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee, Admiral Sureesh Mehta met the ministers.
While the committee is leant to have agreed to the demand for restoring the pension given to Personnel Below Officers Rank (PBOR), discussions were on to resolve the other three issues put forward by the Armed Forces.
On the demand of moving Lt Gen and equivalent officers to the HAG plus pay band, solutions being worked out included a further categorisation of the officers to accommodate a proportion of them in the highest pay band.
The most contentious issue remains the demand to move Lieutenant Colonel level officers to Pay Band 4 in order to give them parity with their civilian counterparts. While the Armed Forces have dug in tight with the demand of moving Lieutenant Colonels and their equivalents be placed in Pay Band 4 (Rs 37,400-67,000) instead of the present Pay Band 3 (Rs 15,600-39,100), paramilitary forces and the MEA are insisting that changes will result in administrative problems.
A solution under discussion is the creation of a new category in the Pay Band 4 to accommodate Lt Cols and give them parity with civilian counterparts without altering the monetary edge of non-defence services officers.(Lt Cols Watch out for this unethical proposal)

anomalie explained here http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=dfmnnwt8_1dpmrrngj
what about the Min of Fin OM dated 14/10/2008 ordering Pension Disbursing banks to complete payments of pension by 30/11/08 including for post 2006 pensioners?
It orders that MoD and Min of Railways as well as Dept dealing with All India Services to issue separate orders.
Now will the MoD disobey that and state that the Chiefs are to blame? Or will the CoS quote the delay as another instance of "disobedience"?
Watch this and other spaces - Pragmatic Euphony excluded!!!
Rank pay again merged with basic pay till Lt Col.
Grade Pay lower for all except Lt (Lieutenant).
Lt Col not in PB4 whereas his revised basic takes them to PB4
Since Rank Pay abolished, How can armed forces relate Status with Rank.
Now only criteria for equivalence in status can be no of years of service.
Hence Grade Pay and Pay Band should be decided on no of Years of service.
Deciding Grade Pay based on Rank will be against the recommendations of the pay Commission and which have been accepted by the Govt.
Granting Grade Pay as per Rank will result in the anomalies which will never be settled as Promotions in Armed forces are totally different than IAS.
So to have similar policy of Pay Bands and Grade Pay, the equivalence should be based on no of yrs of service.
Any cadre review in either Forces or Other services will again result in anomalies. Hence no of Yrs of service is the only criteria left for equivalence.
Military Service Pay is not counted towards increments and does not form part of basic pay.
The commission has given it as additional elment and hence should not be used to compare total pay as also it does not count towards status and rightly so.
Also no arrears for Military service Pay as this is new element as told by 6CPC.
This will also save the armed forces to continue with age old time tested Rank structure without affecting their status with respect to others.
good show @*
wonderful and all clear
just tricks
even a blind man can see through this deception
how didi they expect us to lump it?

Maj Navdeep You are trying to become champion of millitary cause.Have you seen two news inyesterday in IBN7 one pertaining to one Maj Gen involved in purchasing of generatig set and cable.second news aboutLT COL involved in Malegaon blast.It isabression in ethos of ARMY or lust for money which has been so clearly evident in 6pay episode .
Dear All,
This is regarding The Mjors grade Pay.
While for his new pay fixation / ditermination, his pay and rank pay is being taken account, the same is not being done to to ditermine hus grade pay.
Major was in his prerevised pay scale of 11600 - 325 -14850. This was basic pay and the rank pay was part of basic pay. That means actually this scale was 12800 -325 -16500. That is the prerevised pay scale of S-21. Major was actaully in S-21. All Prerevise S-21 have been given a grade of 7600 as per the Gazette and CCS rules.
Why Major is in Grade 6600?? Prerevised S-21 was 12000 - 375 - 16500. Even if one applies even the end of the Scale logic, Maj's scale was within S-21.
Why this discrimination and downgradation alt all??
Well it is a case fit for intervantion of the Courts if MoD does not agree. Service HQ or Mo has no right to "Didcriminate" on the principles for fixation of the Grade pay, perticlarly when Grade Pay has now been ruled to the diterminant of Status.
MoD is in deep trouble.... I must say.
@annony..at 9:34
BE READY FOR MORE SUCH THINGS..after all gp of ias has already proposed lowering of selection criteria..SO NOW FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT...
BE PREPARED...
U PEOPLE ONLY SAY EQUAL JOB EQUAL PAY...SO EQUAL OUTPUT..
SO BETTER DONT GIVE MORAL LECTURES AND DONT QUOTE ETHOS...THEY HAVE BEEN DUMPED
anyways..cool...nothing is proved as such so p wait..if they ve done wrong armed forces will still punish them..but what about others?
That is precisely the reaosn why MoD have chnaged or altered the definition of the "Rank Pay" in the Current SAI..
Samajhe Fauzi....
I think you will have to go to the Courts to set it right....It effects individuals and his status...It is outright "Discrimination.."
It appears the sole job of MoD is to let you all down every where and at each and every step...

Dear sir, Do u have any information about the notification for air travel for TD/LTC for officers
@Raj
It's already there on the blog.
DEAR Maj Navdeep..
the pay of offrs commissioned in dec 99 is rs 23810 and offr commissioned in may 2000 is rs 19160 the diff is of rs 4650 as on 1st jan 2000. what can be done to remove this anomoly?
Dear Maj Navdeep,
Just to tell you that pension arrears have been credited into many bank accounts of retired armed forces pensioners, including post 2006, by the Pension Disbursing Banks.
Now, how did they do that?
Hey anonymous,
One Maj Gen and one Lt Col cannot be used to paint all Armed Forces with your "lust for money in 6 CPC' brush.
Look at the number of IAS, IPS, PWD, RTO, et al raided by the different Lok Ayuktas! What was that - assets disproportionate to known sources of income? Something more than even 6 CPC gave them??
Be reasonable - even you have black sheep wherever you are employed!!! That does not mean the rest of you are also black sheep.
CPOs/CPMF STRENGTH TO GO UP
What Defence services got after great deal of struggle (AVS I&II) is coming on platter to CPOs.Govt has taken decision to increase the strength of CPOs by Four lakhs and files have already started moving.For further details please check www.indiancpmf.blogspot.com
Dear Maj Navdeep,
What will be the grade pay of Col (TS)?
Grade pay for col(TS) is as entitled for Lt Col. i.e as of now 7600.
dear *
the presentation mentioned by you lists Col pay (15100+2000)*1.86 = 40890 which is incorrect. Please comment

AN OFFR OF THE STATUS OF LT COL WRITING "GETTING ON PLATTER"..WHAT R U TRYING TO SAY...
COME OUT OF UR INFERIORITY COMPLEX MR I REPEAT MR BP SINGH..
WITH UR EXPANSION V R HAPPY NOW DURING PEACE TIME V WILL REALLY BE AT PEACE...GOOD GOOD..GO A HEAD..RAISE UR STR FURTHER...
Why is any one not talking about arrears of MSP. each offr is loosing more than Rs 2 lakh (6000 for 32 months plus DA) and each PBOR more than 64000 (2000 for 32 months plus DA)?
why this is not one of the issues?
If MSP is new for army (not exactly new as rank pay was already there) then for civilian officers grade pay is absolutely new? How are they getting the arrears?
One thing is sure that a new relationship between political leadership and military leadership would be drawn irrespective of whether lt cols moves in to pb4 or not.
It is beginning of a new era. We are likely to see more number of armed forces officers being drawn in decision making of MOD. This the beginning of end of civilian influence on military leadership.
The stand taken by armed forces chiefs are going to pay large dividends in near future to all armed forces personnel. So be optimistic and dont loose the hope. Better days are ahead.
Time will not be salvation to those who have tried to lower down the status of armed forces.
hi anonymous
I agree with you that every org has black sheep,than do not say services are only holy cow.Face the fact that we all come from same society and our intrigity is same
Hey anonymous tail end charlie,
Armed Forces are NOT HOLY COWS. They are Indian citizens who have decided to devote some part of their lives in the DIRECT service of the nation.
As for integrity - there are limited opportunities for diverging because of the checks and balances in the system - audits, audits by CDA and even CGDA and finally the C & AG. But there are some who innovate and find the little holes in the rules and try to make money. What you need to appreciate that detection, trial and punishment in the Armed Forces is swift and merciless. No adjournments, no lack fo will to prosecute even a Maj Gen. Show me one Joint Secy or ADGP who has been prosecuted for misappropriation in the last 5 years.
Thanks for letting me have the last word.

Lot of views and opinions mostly motivated and by vested interests have been posted in the public domain. Just go through this link to know what the Indian Public feel about pay and perquisites for armed forces.

Dear Ajith...
Interesting...One may like to see the Comments from AFHQS which is like pouring venom...
IDAS comments are so lukewarm and remain short of vindictiveness...
It is but good to see the commenst from majority of the sources..
But what is the use when Madame Nath has such a prejudicial atitude and mind set and people in MoD are ready to let you down at every opportunity..
How can that organisation function which is being eaten by the termites from inside like ADAS, AFHCS, CCS anf helped by the IAS..
Since they did not find themselves capable enough they have invited CPOs and Foreign Services...
Are we really enviable...??? I sometimes wonder...
Kuchh baat kai ki hast mitati nahin hamari
Sadiyon raha hai dusshman sar jahan Hmara..
Please note that in the Table there are two notes that make it clear THAT IT IS ONLY FOR CEREMONIAL OCCASIONS AND HAS NO APPLICATION IN THE DAY-TO-DAY BUSINESS OF THE GOVT.
SO WHY IS THE CAB SECY SENIOR TO THE CHIEFS WHEN THEY DRAW THE SAME SALARY.
AND NOTE 2 IS MORE SPECIFIC - ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER and date of entry. So who is now senior CNS or Cab Secy??

Dear Maj Navdeep,
I completely agree with you that this blog is much more than just the 6CPC issues.
I think the CPO's through the MHO has been exerting lot of pressure that the LT Col should not get into PB-IV cause it will cause lot of administrative problems.
My personal recommendation to solve this issue is make the Lt Col wear an Ashoka emblem with two stars which a comdt in CPO wear. This will solve lot of issue which has been a nagging problem.
Make the Col wear The same with three stars. This i'm sure well within the rights of the the Indian Army. If wearing an additional star on the shoulder the Comdt considers himself equivalent of a Full Col, this could be a solution probably....besides all the think tanks have already thought off. Then there will be no ego problems that a comdt has to take orders from a officer who is wearing less stars than himself.

Can somebody please clarify the orders on war injury pension?
DEAR NAVDEEP,
GOD BLESS YOU,
IN VIEW OF THE EXISTING ANOMOLY BETWEEN LT. COL. VIS-A-VIS THEIR CIV COUNTER PARTS.SAY, IF IT IS NOT RESOLVED THAN WHY CAN'T YOU FIGHT THE CASE IN COURT OF LAW ON THEIR BEHALF.I AM SURE THE ENTIRE LOT WILL BE OBLIDGED TO CONTRIBUTE FOR THE FEE.
IT WILL AT LEAST GET THEM THE JUSTICE,JUSTIFYING THE SAYING "LAW ABOVE ALL".
REGARDS,
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT RANK OF FULL COLONEL(T.S.) IS BEING REDUCED TO 20 YEARS,TO SET RIGHT THE ANAMOLIES OF 6TH PC.I THINK IF SENIOR OFFRS' GET OUT OF THE PB-1 MENTALITY(THOUGH THEY ARE IN PB-4)THIS WILL HELP THE ORG MUCH-MUCH BETTER.I'VE SEEN THE BLOOD BURNING FOR LOT OF COL ON INCLUSION OF LT.COL IN PB-4.
THE ARMY LOST BADLY IN 6TH P.C. JUST BECAUSE OF THIS MENTALITY WHICH WE ARE SILL WEARING AS USE TO BE IN BRITISHERS REGIME.
