7th Pay Commission latest news: Huge compensation relief by Modi Govt for these personnel

7th Pay commission Latest News Today: In an important move that will help certain personnel, the Narendra Modi government has decided to extend ‘Disability Compensation’, if they get disabled in the line of duty while performing their service and are retained in service in spite of such disablement.

Informing about the central government decision, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh tweeted, "In a significant New Year decision, "Disability Compensation" has been extended for all serving govt employees, if they get disabled while performing their service & are still retained in service. This also includes those who were appointed on or after 1.1.2004 & covered under NPS.”

So, from now onwards, if a central government employee gets disabled while performing his duties and this disablement is attributed to government service, in that case, if he is still retained in the service in spite of disablement, a lump sum compensation will be paid to him by arriving at the capitalised value of the disability element, with reference to the commutation table in force from time to time.

As per the 2009 order of the government did not provide such compensation to those who were appointed on or after January 1, 2004 and covered under National Pension System (NPS), declares a statement issued by the Personnel Ministry.

This new move will provide a huge relief to young central armed police force (CAPF) personnel of CRPF, BSF, CISF, etc., since disability in the performance of duties is generally reported in their case.
