Elimination of Redundant Provisions, there is a drastic change that has been brought in

They are not thinking it as a sacrifice. #KeepDisabilityTaxfree

[Sudeep Mehta @SudeepMehta4]

@alfadelta0108 It is indeed real betrayal at work....the Government that does not respect sacrifices of the Veterans can never get the best out of the Armed Forces...and not respecting for a miniscule amount of savings is preposterous

Is it that this Govt is not aware of the facts? They are adamant. They have always treated the Armd Forces as "doosare maa ka bacha". They will keep doing it in future also.

🚨 OBFUSCATION OF REALITY: The Truth Behind Armed Forces Disability Pension Exemptions 🚨
In a recent Lok Sabha reply (Q. 3787), the Govt explained its reasoning for restricting Income Tax exemptions for military Disability Pensions.
🏛️ THE GOVT STAND:
The Government claims that because the previous Income Tax Law was repealed, the associated exemptions lapsed. Therefore, they argue that the current Finance Bill simply includes the exemption for Armed Forces Disability Pension "afresh" to maintain the old scope.
🛑 THE REALITY / COUNTER LOGIC:
This is a clear obfuscation of the facts. The "new" reference to this exemption is both misconceived and mischievous. Here is why:
▪️ DILUTION: It actively dilutes the previous provisions and protections that had been in place for our soldiers since 1922.
▪️ DISCRIMINATION: It unfairly discriminates against disabled personnel who showed the grit to CONTINUE SERVING despite suffering a disability attributable to their service.
▪️ RETROSPECTIVE PUNISHMENT: This sweeping change has a retrospective effect, financially hitting veterans who are already drawing IT-exempted disability pensions.
▪️ FALSE "MISUSE" NARRATIVE: A disability pension is only accorded IF the underlying disability is strictly ATTRIBUTABLE to military service. This is determined by stringent standards and multi-level medical and administrative approvals. Using "misuse" as an excuse (often pushed through propaganda) is a completely invalid reason to dilute a soldier’s rightful benefits.

Our disabled soldiers deserve their due, not retrospective cuts hidden behind legal jargon

@dgaurav7 If parliamentarians can be paid salary for not attending the complete sessions, why such injustice to soldiers who have been injured while attending to their legitimate duties?

Any disease and disability contacted by the soldiers is a Disability for whole life and deserves Disability pension

Keeping the issue of disability pension in the Ambit of income tax, in writing, despite assurances otherwise is either bad staff work or a facade.
Please correct the gap between the spoken and the written word.

[Rajeev Pooleri @PooleriRajeev]

Yes, it is so. What the soldiers/Veterans community can do. #KeepDisabilityTaxfree

[bhardwaj amit @bhardwajam475]

@dgaurav7 The very idea of taxing disabled veterans, goes to show to the soldiers n society at large that,this Govt doesn't recognises, valour, Resilience, deligence, n sacrifices in the line of duty. Beyond cognitive comprehension.

Can :
-A person who was injured in a mine blast and had one/both legs/arms amputated, fake disability?
-Someone who suffered gunshot wounds to his/her abdomen and had half his intestines removed fake a disability?
-Someone who has metal plates holding their spine in place fake disability?
-Someone who developed High Altitude Pulmonary Oedema in Siachen Glacier fake disability?
What kind of justice is this? @narendramodi @PMOIndia @rajnathsingh @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @adgpi @IAF_MCC @indiannavy @SpokespersonMoD @dgafms_mod

Hope good sense prevails and Disability Pension to all types of pensioners whether invalided out or retired on superannuation are exempted from income tax as earlier.
