WELFARE SCHEMES

FOR VETERANS

2018

COMPILED BY VETERANS’ CELL HQ 31 SUB AREA

FOREWORD

1. This Compendium contains information on various Welfare Schemes being

extended to the Ex-Servicemen and their families by the Army, Central Government

and State Government of Jammu & Kashmir. Most of these schemes are also

applicable to the serving soldiers and their dependents. Aim is to provide a ready

reckoner to ensure that full benefits are exploited by the environment.

2. Having established the Veterans' Cell under 31 Sub Area, we are proactively

focusing on the issues affecting the interests of the Veterans and their families in the

region. We are striving to ensure that the schemes reach each and every soldier,

retired or serving and his family even in the remotest part.

3. I am sure this Compendium will serve a guideline and self-educate to

empower the Veterans as well as serving soldiers on the schemes being run by

various agencies. I compliment Veterans' Cell, HQ 31 Sub Area for their endeavour

in compiling the information about Welfare Schemes in this Compendium.

MAKING OF THE COMPENDIUM

Veterans‟ Cell 31 Sub Area was established on 12 Jan 2017. The office

provides a single window contact on all issues related to veterans, widows and

dependents in the 15 Corps AOR. Since its inception, all out efforts have been made

to increase outreach to the remotest parts of Valley, dissemination of information,

assisting Ex- Servicemen in guiding/ redressal of their grievances and raising various

issues with State Government & other agencies.

The lack of knowledge about various welfare schemes restricts an individual

from claiming his rights. In an effort to create awareness among the soldiers both

serving and retired, the idea of a compendium was mooted. The compendium has

been kept concise, however detailed enough to understand a particular subject. An

attempt has been made to update the policies as per the latest instructions. The

policies have been endorsed with authority where-ever possible. Readers are

expected to keep themselves updated on the latest guidelines issued by various

agencies. State Policies of only the State of Jammu & Kashmir have been compiled.

Individuals must check the policies applicable to them as extended by their State of

Domicile.

The compendium will be equally helpful for Veterans, serving soldiers as well

as staff dealing with their issues. In case of any doubt or assistance, approach your

Zila Sainik Welfare Office or Veterans' Cell at Area and Sub Area Headquarter.

Options

Driver - the veteran will himself drive the cab.

Operator - the veteran can manage a fleet of cabs under him by employing either veterans or civilian drivers.

Special Benefit - Inaugural offer for 5 % discount on Ola commission for 6 months. The operator does not need a commercial

license but the driver should have a commercial license and PSV badge.

This is the same model that is currently in vogue for other Non Sainik drivers (civillians) where the earnings are much higher owing to benefits based on performance .

DCO model is by far the most beneficial model for Sainiks.

The operator model would give an excellent opportunity to officers/JCOs /NCOs who do not want to drive themselves but are are willing to invest and manage the business.

The drivers have to be arranged by the veterans themselves.

Savings upto Rs 40,000/- and beyond through Ola tie ups with Manufacturers and financers.

Assistance in RTO work. Dedicated driver support for resolution of

any issues.
