You may not be eligible for a disability pension under Indian law. A disability pension is typically granted for service-related disabilities, and your high blood pressure is not considered service-related. You may wish to consult with a legal professional for clarification and advice on your specific situation.

I served in the CISF from 2007 to 2010. My probation period was from June 16, 2007, to June 16, 2009. During this time, I received three disciplinary actions for disobeying orders. One instance involved a shift from family quarters to the barracks in July 2008. Due to illness, I shifted on August 4, 2008, and provided a doctor’s note for a four-day sick leave. Despite this, the authorities found it unsatisfactory and issued a disciplinary action. On another occasion, I was charged for an accident while riding a motorcycle without a helmet, which I considered a lawful order. The punishment was a seven-day pay fine. Lastly, I was charged for requesting a written order from the shift incharge, again resulting in a seven-day pay fine. For each of these charges, I requested a formal inquiry but was denied, with the authorities stating that they have the discretion to decide whether an inquiry is conducted or not.
