There is no proposal to give pension to ex servicemen of the pre independence period. These persons are still alive and not entitled to any pension benefits.

 

Ex-servicemen with service less than 15 years as PBOR and less than 20 years as Commissioned Officers are not entitled to pension as minimum qualifying service is a mandatory requirement to earn pension, Defence Minister A K Antony informed the Lok Sabha.

Minimum qualifying service is an essential criterion for earning pension in the Armed Forces as per the existing Army, Navy & Air Force Pension Regulations, he said.
