(a) to (e): Disability element of disability pension is payable for disability in  other  than  war  or  war  like  situation  whereas  war  injury  element  is payable  for  disability  in  war  or  war  like  situation.    With  effect  from 01.01.2006, the disability element is paid based on 30% of last emoluments drawn for 100% disability which is reduced pro-rata for lower percentages of disability.

:  2  :

The  war  injury  element  is  paid  at  60%  and  100%  of  last  drawn emoluments for 100% disability for discharged and invalided out pensioners respectively, which is reduced pro-rata for lower percentages of  disability.   The  service element / service pension is paid in addition to Disability / War injury element. 7 th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has recommended slab system for the 6 th disability  element  for Defence  Forces  Personnel.   However,  for civil  side, CPC dispensation of calculation of disability element on percentage basis continues which has resulted in an anomalous situation.
