Did You Know Countrymen, Everything Is Free In Armed Forces. Your Freedom Is Absolutely Free of cost to you
The
issue is regarding Insurance for Serving Military Personnel.
Presently
the monthly insurance premium is Rs 5000 for officers and Rs 2500 for JCOs for
a sum assured of 50 lakhs and 25 lakh respectively, which is deducted from
their salary.
The Mkt
Rate for 'Normal Life Insurance' (without covering War and other risks of war
and terror operations) for a ANNUAL premium of RS 4000 for a sum assured of Rs
1 crore. The heavier premium paid by soldiers is about 220% higher than normal
due to the additional war and terror risks.
Govt
does not fund the Army Group Insurance Scheme at all and the soldiers not only
risk their life for the Country but also pay in cash for taking such risks.
The
salaries of the officers who are posted to HQ AGIF to manage these activities
are again paid from corpus raised from the salaries and not by the Govt. (The
money is refunded to CDA's by AGIF)
In other
countries like the USA, every soldier is insured regardless of rank for a
monthly premium of 27 dollars for sum assured of 4 lakh dollars. This is made
possible by the Federal Govt Law by which the heavy premium is borne by the
Federal govt.
In
India, we virtually and effectively ask the soldiers to risk their lives and
also pay for it too ..
SO YOU
THOUGHT EVERYTHING IS FREE IN ARMED FORCES. YOU ARE VERY RIGHT. THE LIVES
PROTECTING YOU ARE FREE. THEY PAY FROM THEIR SALARY FOR THEIR INSURANCE SHOULD
THEY DIE PROTECTING YOU ..
EVERYTHING IS FREE IN ARMED FORCES. THE
INDIAN SOLDIERS DIE FOR FREE.
Mera Bharat Mahaan
It is the stupidity of the generals past and present and their equalents in other two services who for their own perks and pelf accepted this decision to make officers and solders pay for their own insurance . Werequire men with balls and courage like the french armed forces chief who resigned rathar than let the french politicians cut the budget . What we have is hijras in uniform who can only harass subdue juniors but lick babus in southblock for own promotions courses tranzfers and are ready to be beasts of burden
