Pension Regulation Army 2008 Part - I

PREFACE

The Pension Regulations for the Army are divided into two parts as under: -

Part I- Containing Regulations regulating the pensionary awards of personnel of
the Regular Army, the Defence Security Corps, Emergency/Short Service
Commissioned Officer and the Territorial Army.

Part II- Containing Regulations relating to pension procedure affecting the
personnel whose pensions are regulated by the Regulations in Part I.

2. The Regulations in this Part supersede the Regulations in Pension Regulations for
the Army, Part I & Part II (1961 Edition) and have been issued under the authority of the
Government of India.

3. Except as otherwise provided in these Regulations or elsewhere, the Regulations
st
contained in this book apply to personnel who are in Army Service on 1 July, 2008 and
take effect from that date. Those who are not so governed or for whom no provision is
made in these Regulations will continue to be governed by the Pension Regulations for
the Army, Part I & II (1961) and Govt. Orders issued from time to time.

4. No deviation from the Regulations in this book is permissible without the prior
sanction of the Government of India.

5. Permanent orders of only general application have been incorporated in these
Regulations. Sanctions having a purely transitory interest have, however, not been
included, and where such sanctions are at variance with these Regulations, the sanctions
should be viewed as operative for only so long as they remain in force.

6. The disposal of the Regulations in Pension Regulations for the Army, Part I & II
(1961) and authority for each Regulation are shown in two explanatory memoranda at the
end of this book.
