This is in relation to this earlier post of 23 March 2013 on
the subject of grant of ex-serviceman status to boarded-out recruits in receipt
of disability pension.
The Government, by way of a clarification had only granted
the said status to recruits boarded out after 01 Feb 2006, which in my opinion
was incongruous and to which my objection was recorded in the following terms
in the earlier post:
“...Though the subject has been clarified in the above terms,
in my opinion, boarded out recruits in receipt of disability pension would ipso facto be included in the
pre-existing definitions in force prior to 01 Feb 2006 too since unlike officer
trainees, recruits are entitled to pay and disability pensionary benefits as
applicable to regular Sepoys and are also under the purview of the Army Act and
hence cannot treated differently than others. Even otherwise, the MoD
clarification issued on 01 Feb 2006 did not contain any cut-off date for the
applicability of the clarification which has now been superimposed through
back-door...”
Thankfully, the Ministry of Defence has now issued a
clarification in consistent with the view as above that boarded-out recruits in
receipt of disability pension shall be treated as ex-servicemen irrespective of
the date of discharge.

Dear Major Navdeep,
Thanks for taking up the cudjels and ensuring its correct application to the affected personnel.This would not have been possible without your efforts to educate the adversely affected and follow up.
Kudos to you !
Navdeep Sir, does this also apply to officer cadets in NDA/IMA/OTA who have been boarded out because of injuries suffered during training?

Dear Major Navdeep,
What is the status of offrs who have served ten years plus and taken premature retirement? Gratuity was provided.
The Zilla Sainik Board states that those who have been released on request are not entitled to the ex-servicemen card and benefits.
Kindly clarify as to what catergory these offrs fall under??
Dear Sir,
