Ex-Army Chief VP Malik Slams Tax on Disability Pension | 'Hit Dignity of Our Soldiers' | Army

Описание: Former Army Chief General VP Malik and Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon have condemned the government's decision to tax disability pensions for soldiers who complete their full service tenure. General Malik stated, 'You have hit their dignity. You have created this morale problem all over the place,' arguing that the move lacks justification and unfairly targets those who continue to serve despite injuries. Lieutenant General Dhillon highlighted the potential impact on military readiness, noting that the policy creates two classes of wounded soldiers and may encourage trained personnel to leave the service early to avoid taxation. He described the disability pension as 'compensation for the injury' rather than income. Both veterans dismissed the government's premise of 'misuse' as a matter of discipline that should be handled by service headquarters rather than the Ministry of Finance. The report underscores a growing sense of betrayal among the 3 million-strong veteran community over what they term a 'tax on valour.'
