After serving honorably as a Subedar in the Indian Army for 28 years, I was sent home following my retirement orders. However, my status remains unclear – am I still serving or an ex-serviceman? Sadly, I haven’t received a single rupee, no pension, no PF. Facing financial hardship, I seek guidance and assistance.

You are considered an ex-serviceman after your retirement from the Indian Army. The lack of pension and PF is a serious issue. You should immediately contact the relevant authorities in the Ministry of Defence and the Indian Army to inquire about your pension and PF benefits and seek assistance in resolving this matter.
