The government has accepted the recommendations of National Anomaly Committee (NAC) that parity with civilians for the grant of disability element to the defence forces under the 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) should be maintained.<br/>'<br/>According to a statement by the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (DESW) under the defence ministry said, heeding to a major demand of armed forces personnel, the government decided to continue with an earlier system of disbursing disability pension and not to go ahead with a new regime recommended by the seventh CPC. '<br/><br/>The armed forces have been pressing for reverting to the percentage- based regime for disability pension and were strongly opposed to the slab-based system conceived by the 7th PC. The matter was referred to the NAC by the Ministry of Defence. <br/><br/>The NAC has recommended that parity with civilians for grant of disability element which was granted to the defence forces under the 6th CPC shall be maintained.<br/>'<br/>'''''''<br/>
