After serving in the Indian Air Force for many years, I retired in 2013. I had been promoted to a new rank just a few months before, with a brief period in acting pay. However, my pension was calculated based on my previous rank, not the final salary I earned. I’ve been told by the Air Force that my promotion wasn’t made official before I retired, which seems to go against government guidelines. Could I challenge this decision through the Armed Forces Tribunal?

Yes, you could challenge this decision through the Armed Forces Tribunal. The Tribunal has jurisdiction over pensionary benefits and can review the Air Force’s decision, especially if there is evidence of a promotion being granted, even if not officially finalized, before your retirement. The Tribunal will consider the relevant government guidelines and the specifics of your case.
