The Centre has said, no government office should dispense with or reduce in rank an employee who acquires any disability during the service. <br/><br/>Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has amended Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972, to make it easier for such employees to continue in service or to get invalid pension. The invalid pension is granted if a government servant retires from the service on account of any bodily or mental infirmity which permanently incapacitates him for the service. <br/><br/>In case a government servant applies for an invalid pension, the person will have to submit a medical certificate of incapacity from a medical board.
