Analysis and Recommendations

10.2.75 The Commission has considered the existing regime regulating the Ex-gratia lump sum compensation and the demands made before the Commission and observes that while the set of circumstances in which defence forces personnel and those in CAPFs and Assam Rifles are accorded Ex-gratia payment are broadly similar, some variations do exist. In this regard, the Commission is of the view that as far as possible these should apply identically to all the personnel covered by these orders.

10.2.76 As regards the new categories sought to be added by the Defence Services to the existing circumstances, the Commission recommends the following:
