Till date, invalid pension was granted to those armed forces personnel who had more than 10 years of service and were invalided for reasons that were neither attributable to nor aggravated by military service.
If the service rendered was less than 10 years at the time of invaliding, only invalid gratuity was paid to the soldier till date.
