1st meeting of the National Anomaly Committee
The 1st meeting of the National
Anomaly Committee was held on 01.12.2016 on the anomaly of calculation of the
disability pension for Defence Forces Personnel as per the recommendations of
the 7th CPC. The representative of the Armed Forces made a presentation in the
meeting demanding that the recommendations of the 7th CPC to grand disability
pension on a slab system if implemented will lead to an anomaly between the
civilian side and the Defence Forces Personnel because the civilian side will
continue to be governed under a percentage based system. After studying the
presentation, the Staff Side of NC-JCM has suggested that the slab system will
be beneficial to the lower Rank personnel and hence both the slab system and
percentage system may be accepted by the Govt. on an optional basis,
alternatively the slab amount recommended by 7th CPC can be increased to avoid
the anomalous situation. Secretary (P) informed that the issue would be further
studied in consultation with CGDA.
