Claim doing rounds that the 1922 Income Tax exemption was only for invalided-out soldiers is false. Serving soldiers historically had tax reliefs; disability exemptions were additional. Whoever is pushing this narrative is misleading the public—deliberately or otherwise. @adgpi
@avisud These brave individuals have sacrificed their health and well-being for the nation. Instead of dignity and gratitude, they are often subjected to relentless litigation and humiliation. Such treatment hurts the image of the armed forces and the Ministry itself.
Appeals against Disability Pension granted to Soldiers in Delhi High Court: A Division Bench of Hon'ble Delhi High Court has yesterday DISMISSED all the Appeals filed against the grant of Disability Pension by the MoD on the advice of the Judge Advocate General of the Indian Army, on 01 July 25. Besides demoralising own Soldiers by filing such infructuous Appeals recklessly, Crores of Rupees of the Govt have been siphoned off in this manner through the MoD by the Govt Counsels who filed the Appeals. They were hand in glove with Maj Gen Sandeep Kumar, the Judge Advocate General of the Indian Army who advised filing of such Appeals so as to make money. Govt MUST take cognizance of such blatant corruption.

1/ Landmark ruling: Delhi HC upheld Col Manish Midha (Retd.)’s pension rights, exposing the Union of India’s egregious misconduct. W.P.(C) 8434/2024, Feb 6, 2025—a case demanding accountability from @DefenceMinIndia@dgafms_mod@PMOIndia via @ajaysuraTOI https://t.co/08ArLp27MQ
Government of India should not drag retired members of the armed forces to court like this. We are showing magnanimity in not imposing costs on such appeals.
#SupremeCourt remarks while hearing Union of India's appeal against Armed Forces Tribunal order granting disability pension to a retired radio fitter.
It’s strange that MoD Diplomats are overruling Medical Boards, contesting Tribunal orders and getting slammed by Supreme Court.
Can we see Compassion towards Medical Board approved Disabled Army men, acceptance of Tribunal (AFT) Orders and end to litigational attitude of MoD?
Delhi HC fines MoD & Navy ₹50k for challenging settled law. Judicial time isn’t for frivolous appeals—respect the system, stop harassing disabled veterans @SpokespersonMoD@ColRohitChaudry@rajnathsingh

@SpokespersonMoD anti-veteran litigation spree. Ministry dragging 6,500+ cases against its own disabled veterans & widows despite court orders. Over 350 petitions already dismissed, yet MoD persists. @rajnathsingh@RajeevRC_X@MajDPSingh
