NOTES:
1. The pension of Pre-1.1.2006 pensioners is required to be first revised by Pension Disbursing Agencies in terms of Annexure-1
read with Para 4 of this letter. However, in case the pension so consolidated happens to be less than the amount indicated
in the Table above, the pension protection as indicated in the Table will be given. In case the pension of a senior rank happens
to be less than the revised pension of a lower rank, which may happen in rare cases, such cases may be referred to the
Pension Sanctioning Authorities concerned.
2. Rates of Pension at Table -1 above have been shown for qualifying service of 10 years and above as Armed Forces personnel
is entitled for invalid pension after 10 years of qualifying service.
3. In order to cover all conceivable situation, revised pension with as low as 10 years qualifying service has been shown in this
Table even for such senior ranks as Lt. Gen./Maj. Gen./Brigadier even though such cases may not occur in reality.
Explanatory Note:
As a result of the difference in weightage allowable to different ranks, the pro-rata pension in earlier cases in certain lower
ranks is more as compared to higher ranks with same qualifying service.
