Military Service Pay (MSP) : The Defence forces personnel will continue to be entitled to payment of Military Service Pay for all ranks up to and inclusive of Brigadiers and their equivalents. The MSP per month recommended is as follows:

Designation Existing Rate of Military Service Pay Recommended by 7th CPC
Service Officers 6000 15500
Nursing Officers 4200 10800
JCO / ORs 2000 5200
Non Combatants (Enrolled) in the Air Force 1000 3600

MSP will continue to be reckoned as Basic Pay for purposes of Dearness Allowance, as also in the computation of pension. Military Service Pay will however not be counted for purposes of House Rent Allowance, Composite Transfer Grant and Annual Increment.

The Military Service Pay, which is a compensation for the various aspects e.g., intangibles linked to special conditions of service, conducting full spectrum operation including force projection outside India’s boundaries, superannuation at a younger age and for the edge historically enjoyed by the Defence Forces over the civilian scales, will be admissible to the Defence forces personnel only.

Will the Military Service Pay be taken into account while doing so? If so, the authority for doing so is urgently required. Can anyone help me please?

    Salary and pay scales are as per rank structures that,s all right whereas the military pay and disability pay should be equal without discrimination. This will some how bridge the small and huge salary disparity between officers and PBOR,s, and simulanously improve their morale as PBOR’s are the backbone of Indian Army.

    I’m serving in Indian Navy. I agree that, we should better leave the defence service after completion of 15 years/minimum pensionable maturity period. But some issues arise as we spend the time in service, that we are compelled to remain in this unfare/indiscriminate defence service. Because we prefer our family than onself. Due to some critical family issues we signe for farther 5 years extention. Similarly I have extended my service for further 5 years. After completion of 19 and half years of service my management course come. As per extant regulations of navy I should have minimum 3 years of service left after completion of the course. So I signed for farther three years. Now the time comes for promotion. If I give unwilling to do further service, I will not be promoted. The promotion of MCPO also not confirm. It is selection based promotion. May be or may not. But after doing prolong service and after doing so tough management course, it was necessary for me to see the last. I thing everyone will do so. So I signed for farther 5 years. Now I have completed 26 years of service and my all the chances for promotion has gone. My son in class 6th, daughter is in 10th.

    Now, the matter is that, I can do maximum 30 yeats of sevice or I can leave after 28 years. At that time my age will be 48/50 if I do 28/30 years service respectively. As per Indian govt service regulation, upper age limit is 45 years afetr extention and that is also not for every service. That means I can not get a govt. service after leaving Navy. My son will be in class 8th or 10th. My daughter will be in class 12th. So if I do not get service, what will be there future. After killing my all the wishes, all the self happyness all the family occasion I was doing this service for my children betterment ! I hopped my children will be happy, I sacrified my self for them, but is it I hopped for? Is it I dreamed for? Who is guilty? Yes my children offcourse will say “my father is guilty”. Because I could not do anything for them. But as per my opinion, the Naval policy is guilty. If one serves for 30 years in the service; he must get chance to do maximum life span time to do the same service as per extant regulation. I mean 58 years of age or 38 years of service which ever is more. Otherwise he should get compolsury govt service till the upper age limit as per extant regulation.

    Sir, This is with reference to “Military Service Pay” (MSP), why only Officer’s should get all benefits of defence forces why not JCO’s / OR’s since officer’s are not directly responsible for any operational tasks, they leave every things on JCO’s , as the matter of military service pay and other benefits they are directly involved for them only and they never raise any beneficial issue related to JCO’s / OR’s to Govt. level. with the result the jawan’s are always looser.

    If a person is joining as an officer, he is getting all privileges and other benefits from Central Govt. including his ration, travel, CEA, transport, pay and other allowances as per his rank but why military service pay should not be equal and why every now and than Hon’ble Court has to interfere. It is under stood that Defence services officer are doing injustice with ‘Jawan’s”

    I would like to mentioned that this is totally unknown to our County Leader because they don’t know what is the role and responsibilities of JCO’s / Jawan’s in defence service. If a rule can be passed by Govt. that every person who wish to join the Politics he must spend three years of his life i.g. one year with Army , one year with Navy and one year with Air Force as a Jawan category so that he will come to know what is the life of Jawan’s in defence service, also a specific qualification is also required for becoming a Leader not 8th and 9th standard.

    Apart from this, the Indian Soldier’s had raised there voice for ‘One Rank One Pension / equal MSP for all ranks are very correct which is accepted by Hon’ble Court and the final result are in favour of Jawan’s. It is pertinent to mentioned that Hon’ble PM is celebrating his Diwali with Jawan’s at Border area and promising them that I will look after your all issues but when he returned to his base port he had also forgeten his promises with Jawan’s.

    I would like to request to concerned Leader they must think about ‘Jawan’s” and remember if you look after your ‘Jawan’s’ your Country will be more safer and develop fast.

    Best Regards

    Once we say Military, it means NC(E) to service chiefs of Army, Navy and Air Force. Ther is equal contribution by one and all once they are in uniform. There should not be any difference in payment of MSP. The pay comissions only create differences in categories. This creates huge gap once any individual proceeds on discharge from armed forces as regards to pension benefits. It becomes almost difficult to implement OROP at later stage. This ,jus be looked into.

    Border security force must also be paid para military allowance. Because the duties of BSF are same and even more difficult to army. They do same job with army in Kashmir. There is no peaceful area for BSF because they always deployed in border and the border can’t be peaceful. No Mobil network, no permanent accommodation, chances of mind malaria’s, live where no civil population.
