No Free Ration For Officers At Peace Stations
Officers of the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy posted at peace stations will no longer get a promised perk - free, daily rations. In fact, the daily bread, butter, milk, cornflakes and more have disappeared since July 1. They will instead get a daily allowance of 96 rupees and three paise. The 7th Pay Commission has stipulated this but the move has outraged officers. The counter-argument is that this is no great loss, since officers never relied on these rations to feed their entire family.
