7th CPC Disability Pension

7th CPC Disability Pension

Disability Pension

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommended the following on disability pension:- The Commission is of the considered view that the regime implemented post 6th CPC needs to be discontinued, and recommended a return to the slab based system. The slab rates for disability element for

100 percent disability would be as follows:- Ranks Levels Rate per month (INR)

Service Officers 10 and above 27000 Honorary Commissioned Officers Subedar Majors / Equivalents 6 to 9 17000 Subedar / Equivalents Naib Subedar / Equivalents Havildar / Equivalents 5 and below 12000 Naik / Equivalents Sepoy / Equivalents

The above recommendation was accepted and Resolution dated 30.09.2016 issued accordingly.

The 6th CPC dispensation of the calculation of disability element on percentage basis, however, continued for civil side which resulted in an anomalous situation. The issue was accordingly referred to the Anomaly Committee. The Anomaly Committee recommended that parity with civilians for grant of disability element which was granted to the Defence Forces Personnel under 6th CPC may be maintained which was approved by the Cabinet. Government order in this regard has been issued on 4th September, 2017.
