Points Given To The FM From IESL To Be Included In The Budget.

1. Provision should be made in the budget to allocate funds to cater for revision and equalisation of One Rank One Pension and the arrears which have been due to the Ex-Servicemen since 01 July 2019.

2. The High Risk & Counter Insurgency allowance, the High Altitude allowance and the Siachen allowance admissible to the Armed Forces personnel should be exempted from Income Tax.

3. The Central Police & Para Military Forces (CPMF) are getting more Risk and Hardship Allowance as compared to the Armed Forces. The same should be brought at Par with the CPMF.
