@srvs123451 @Ltcolonelvikas During natural disasters the same egoistic bureaucrats go running to IA for aid to civil authority shoving inflated ego up their buttocks. Monsoon has started. God forbid if such situations arise. Remember last year's incident?

[Sun_jay9 @pradhansanjay9]

@deepak_s_2000 @Ltcolonelvikas Seriously Mr. Deepak? Just because of an inflated ego of a DC who is not even an IAS, you are projecting IA as villians. Have you ever realise how they are operating in most hostile environments. Its monsoon now. Soon the same ppl will beg for help from IA.

The "very biased" Indian Express is busy peddling a PAC report claiming 40% of retiring officers with disability "does not speak well" for Army fitness

I was a big supporter of the Modi Govt ,but unfortunately the moment any govt compromises on the dignity of our soldiers, it loses its moral authority.Policies can change—but respect for those who sacrificed for the nation must remain absolute.

Govt. must rethink and roll back proposal to tax Disability Pension for soldiers superannuating after completion of service.

I wonder who was the petty, vile and small minded person in the @FinMinIndia who suggested to @nsitharaman that Indian economy can only be saved by taxing the smallest of relief given to a soldier with a disability acquired during the course of his service to the Nation.
A disability that will continue to have implications for the person. Worsen over time and make daily life more difficult with increasing age.
@rashtrapatibhvn should confer the person with a well deserved a Bharat Ratna for saving the economy of India.

Disability pension stands as a gesture of national gratitude. Taxing The disabled soldiers by the Govt amounts to "tax on valour" and an "insult to sacrifice."
#keepDisabilityPensionTaxfree

[Vivek Srivastav @iamviveksri]

I respectfully urge your immediate intervention regarding Para 108 (page 88) of the Finance Bill 2026, which proposes to withdraw the long-standing income tax exemption on disability pension for Armed Forces personnel who superannuated, completed their service tenure, or retired otherwise.

This proposed amendment has caused profound pain and distress among disabled veterans across the country. No nation should tax the disability compensation of soldiers who were injured in the line of duty while serving their country. In India, disability pension, including War Injury Pension, has remained tax-exempt since 1922. This was never regarded as a mere financial concession. It has always stood as a solemn expression of national gratitude and a moral acknowledgment of the permanent sacrifice made by those injured in service of the Nation.

A disability sustained during military service does not cease at retirement. The pain, restricted mobility, psychological trauma, and lifelong consequences remain unchanged whether a soldier is invalided out early or continues to serve until superannuation. In fact, those who continue to serve despite disability demonstrate exceptional resilience, commitment, and devotion to duty. To tax them simply because they endured and completed their tenure sends a deeply unjust message: that perseverance in service is to be penalized, not honored.

The amendment creates an artificial, arbitrary, and discriminatory distinction between two equally disabled classes of veterans: those invalided out and those who completed service. Both suffered disabilities attributable to or aggravated by military service. Both bear those injuries for life. There is no moral, logical, or equitable basis to exempt one category while taxing the other.

Disabled veterans include officers, JCOs, and soldiers who have suffered limb loss, spinal injuries, gunshot wounds, blast trauma, frostbite, paralysis, loss of hearing, loss of sight, and other irreversible service-related conditions. Many served in war and war-like situations, high-altitude deployments, counter-insurgency operations, and counter-terror missions under extreme physical and psychological stress. These disabilities are not incidental. They are the direct consequence of duty performed in defense of the Nation.

Service-related disability often affects career progression due to low medical categorization, reducing promotion opportunities and long-term earning capacity. After retirement, disabled veterans frequently face greater difficulty in securing employment than their able-bodied counterparts. Taxing the disability element of their pension would therefore be not only unjust in principle, but cruel in impact.

If concerns exist regarding misuse in isolated cases, such instances should be addressed through targeted administrative scrutiny. Genuine disabled veterans must not be made to suffer because of procedural exceptions. This exemption was granted in recognition of permanent injury and sacrifice. It is not a discretionary favor, and it must not be treated as a conditional privilege.

This issue has caused serious anguish across the 32-lakh-strong veteran and pensioner community. At a time when the Armed Forces continue to face manpower shortages, such a measure risks weakening trust in the State’s commitment to those who serve, suffer, and sacrifice for the country.

I therefore earnestly request that the proposed amendment to Schedule III under Para 108 (page 88) of the Finance Bill 2026 be withdrawn, so that the tax exemption on disability pension continues without discrimination for all disabled Armed Forces personnel.

This is not merely a matter of taxation. It is a matter of justice, dignity, honor, and the Nation’s enduring covenant with its soldiers.

Preserving existing legal position is not enough.
It should clearly say- Disability pensions will remain fully tax-exempt.
No ambiguity. No reinterpretation. No dilution.
Our disabled veterans deserve certainty, not legal language please.

[Vivek Srivastav @iamviveksri]

As per Para 11.5.7 page 297 of Select Committee Report on IT Bill 2025 @FinMinIndia told the Select Committee in 2025 that Disability Pension tax exemption would continue under the Hon’ble SC’s status quo order.

Yet Para 108 D(6) of Finance Bill 2026 removes it for disabled soldiers who superannuated.

Can Bharat tax those who bled for her?

Look at the pleadings of disabled veterans for a review of the soon to be IT Act 2025 for introducing income tax on disability pension. A minuscule lot (those injured & boarded out early in service) will now be the exempt category. But have you heard any assurances from GoI? NO!

Dear Army Brats,
If ur father is disabled veteran, u’ve seen true cost of service — lifelong injuries, silent battles.
Disability pension is compensation for sacrifice.

Honourable Prime Minister, Hope you will intervene and not tax disability pension of soldiers disabled in line of duty in this New Year. Was exempt since 1922. No country taxes disability compensation of soldiers.
