Reading: My service in the Army was good for the first decade. However, within two years, I faced disciplinary action with four red ink entries, which was very disheartening. I was eventually discharged after 13 years and 4 months, but I need 15 years of service for pension. My family and I are worried about our future. Is there any chance I can still receive a pension? I would be grateful for any information you can share.

Based on Indian Army rules, a pension is generally awarded after 15 years of service. However, you may be eligible for a ‘disability pension’ if your discharge was due to a medical condition incurred during service. Consult a legal professional specializing in military pensions to assess your specific circumstances and potential options.
