The judgment dated 06 Jul 17 refers to some Affidavit to be signed. Are we required to send the affidavit to RDOA.
Offrs who have filed the case in AFT but is pending because there is no judge posted in AFT. Since there is no adverse order against such litigants are they to be benefitted by this judgment.
what is the rounding off of disability benefit can you please explain with an example
There is no mathematical formula to decide the percentage of disability. A person with a particular ailment can be given 20% disability by one board. Other person with similar ailment can be given 30% by another board. So to standardize this, the broad banding is done ie all persons with 20 to 50 % will be granted 50% disability. More than 50 to 75 will be given 75% and more than 75% will be given 100%. This was there in rules but our great Min of Def was not giving benefit of broad banding which has been now given by Hon SC. It applies to you only if you are in receipt of disability pension.
