Union Minister Jitendra Singh had informed about this decision from his official twitter handle and said, "In a significant New Year decision, "Disability Compensation" has been extended for all serving govt employees, if they get disabled while performing their service & are still retained in service.

7th CPC Rule: Removal of Anomaly
"Pertinent to mention that this new order will remove an anomaly in service rules, considering the hardship faced by the employees. The Modi government is making all efforts to simplify rules and to do away with discriminatory clauses," said Singh, the minister of state for personnel.

A 2009 order of the government did not provide such compensation to those government servants who were appointed on or after January 1, 2004 and covered under the National Pension System (NPS), according to a statement issued by the Personnel Ministry.

This new move will provide a huge relief to CISF and other young central armed police force (CAPF) personnel of CRPF, etc, since disability in performance of duties is generally reported in their case.
