Sir,
Provision for platinum grant of Rs 50,000 in favour of officers, on attaining age of 75, is indeed a Welfare Scheme (DE Mar 05 refers). The contention why it is not extended to JCOs and ORs is also not illogical and unjust.
The scheme if really exists, necessarily needs to cover other ranks also, who too have served on the highest peaks of glaciers and in scorching heat of deserts. Actually, it isn’t compensation of any sort but an honour and respect to those who sweated for the country. Hence, inclusion of JCOs/ORs in the scheme, is also not unjustified.
Yours etc..
