Dear Army Brats, If ur father is disabled veteran, u’ve seen true cost of service — lifelong injuries, silent battles. Disability pension is compensation for sacrifice. Raise ur voice. Stand for dignity of disabled veterans who need ur support #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree

@narendramodi #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree Honourable Prime Minister, Hope you will intervene and not tax disability pension of soldiers disabled in line of duty in this New Year. Was exempt since 1922. No country taxes disability compensation of soldiers.

@gen_arun @IndiaToday @raghav_chadha #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree I think no words are necessary to describe further.

During a Parliament discussion, Raghav Chadha urged the government to restore full income tax exemption on disability pensions for all wounded soldiers. He argued that the benefit should not be limited only to those invalided out of service, calling the current rules discriminatory. Chadha stressed the need for a policy change to ensure equal treatment for all soldiers injured in service. #RaghavChadha #Parliament #IndianArmy #DisabledSoldiers #TaxExemption #DefenceForces #ITReel | @raghav_chadha

When a soldier guards our borders, he does not calculate his sacrifice in tax slabs. He spends Diwali in a bunker. Eid on the border. Misses family milestones. And sometimes he loses a part of his body in service of the nation. That disability pension is not income. It is compensation for a wound carried for life. Yet under the Budget 2026 provisions, whether that pension is taxed or not depends on when the soldier retired. Not on the injury he suffered or the sacrifice he made. Two soldiers. One wound. Two tax rules. Soldier A gets injured and leaves the Army — his disability pension is tax-free. Soldier B gets injured but continues serving the nation — his disability pension will be taxed Same injury. Same sacrifice. But the one who served longer is punished more. A soldier doesn’t calculate sacrifice in tax slabs. You can tax income. You cannot tax sacrifice.

The reply of the Govt @FinMinIndia to this is ambiguous ,without even touching the core issue ,leaving the disabled veterans in disarray. Hope your support to #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree continues.

A Sovereign Promise Broken: Et Tu Brutus? An Indian Fauji’s Commitment: “I swear in the name of God that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by the law established and that I will, as in duty bound, honesty and faithfully serve in the regular army of the Union of India and go wherever ordered by land, sea or air and that I will observe and obey all commands of the President of the Union of India, and the commands of any officer set over me even to the PERIL OF MY LIFE.” This is the oath every soldier takes. No other service, except the defence services pledge their lives and bodies to the nation. Soldiers forfeit their fundamental rights with utmost faith in the Conscience Keeping Polity and Media that they and their families would be taken care of by the nation in case of their death or disability. No one else in the country pledges this! It is a betrayal when such faith is broken in retrospect. It alarms when a government goes back on sovereign promises which were kept sacrosanct by governments of varied political affiliations since independence. @BJP4India, @PMOIndia, @nsitharaman, @rajnathsingh now want to revert the sovereign promise that income tax on pension of soldiers who are disabled in line of duty will be exempt from income tax. No country in the world taxes compensation given in lieu of bodily harm suffered in line of duty. Old, disabled, unemployable veterans now have to take a monthly cut of 25% with NO means to alternatively earn than amount. Voice of people in a democracy is unstoppable. India recorded 2.15 CRORE VIEWS on #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree —a tidal wave of support for our disabled soldiers! Amend Para 108 of Finance Bill 2026 NOW to protect our 104-year TAX-FREE pension status quo.

I respectfully urge your immediate intervention regarding Para 108 (page 88) of the Finance Bill 2026, which proposes to withdraw the long-standing income tax exemption on disability pension for Armed Forces personnel who superannuated, completed their service tenure, or retired otherwise. No country taxes disability compensation of soldiers disabled in line of duty. This proposed amendment has caused deep pain and distress among disabled veterans across the country. Disability pension, including War Injury Pension, has remained tax-exempt since 1922. This exemption was never treated as a mere financial concession. It has always stood as a mark of national gratitude and a moral acknowledgment of the permanent sacrifice made by soldiers injured in the line of duty. A disability sustained during military service does not disappear upon retirement. The physical pain, restricted mobility, psychological trauma, and lifelong consequences remain the same whether a soldier is invalided out early or continues to serve until superannuation. In fact, those who continue serving despite disability display extraordinary resilience, commitment, and devotion to duty. Taxing them for completing their tenure sends a deeply unfair message that perseverance is a liability. The proposed amendment creates an artificial and discriminatory distinction between two equally disabled categories of veterans: those invalided out and those who completed service. Both suffered injuries attributable to or aggravated by service conditions. Both carry the burden of those injuries for life. There is no moral, functional, or equitable basis to exempt one and tax the other. Disabled veterans include officers, JCOs, and soldiers who have suffered limb loss, spinal injuries, gunshot wounds, blast trauma, frostbite, paralysis, hearing loss, sight loss, and other irreversible service-related conditions. Many have served in war and war-like situations, high-altitude postings, counter-insurgency operations, and counter-terror missions under severe physical and psychological stress. Their disabilities are not incidental; they are the direct result of duty performed in defence of the Nation. Further, service-related disability often affects career progression due to low medical categorization, reducing promotion prospects and long-term earning potential. After retirement, many disabled veterans are also less employable than their able-bodied counterparts. Imposing tax on the disability element of their pension would therefore not only be unjust in principle, but harsh in effect. If there are concerns regarding misuse in isolated cases, such issues should be addressed through targeted administrative scrutiny. Genuine disabled veterans should not be penalized because of procedural exceptions. The exemption was granted in recognition of permanent injury and sacrifice, not as a conditional privilege. This issue has caused serious anguish within the 32-lakh strong veteran and pensioner community. At a time when the Armed Forces continue to face manpower shortages, this measure risks weakening trust in the State’s commitment to those who serve and sacrifice. Please withdraw the Amendment to Schedule III under Para 108 (page 88) of the Finance Bill 2026, so that the tax exemption on disability pension continues without discrimination for all disabled Armed Forces personnel. This is not merely a taxation issue. It is a matter of fairness, honour, and the Nation’s enduring covenant with its soldiers. #KeepDisabiltyPensionTaxFree !! @timesofindia @EconomicTimes @htTweets @TimesNow @NewsAlgebraIND @FinancialTimes @ZeeNews @ZeeNewsEnglish @Network18 @IndiaToday @HtMed @vineetjaintimes @aimaindia @STARINDIAUPUK @ndtv @ndtvfeed @the_hindu @IndianExpress @BDUTT @gauravsawant @timesofindia @htTweets @thetribunechd @bsdhanoa @IndianExpress @VoteTDP @nppbihar1 @JANATADALUNITED @LokJanshakti @PChidambaram_IN @ManishTewari @ShashiTharoor @rajnathsingh @asadowaisi @RajeevRC_X @RSSorg @ombirlakota @rashtrapatibhvn @PMOIndia @nsitharamanoffc @RuchiSinghTalks @ShivAroor @AIADMKOfficial @Shivsenaofc @ainrc @MahuaMoitra

Modi Govt is PURE EVIL. They'll even find a way to TAX the DEAD if possible.

Input that honble FM has assured that DP for all disabled Veterans will remain Tax Exempt is a very encouraging development. FM is requested to give a formal covenant to the assurance. This will assuage the fears of Disabled Veterans. #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree @nsitharaman

Don't tax disability pension - Sign the Petition! change.org/p/don-t-tax-di… via @ChangeOrg_India #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree

@Lt_Gen_DP_Vats @AmitShah Jai Hind Sir. Thank you for your herculean effort. We were cocksure that present government won't tax disability pension of veterans. Hon'ble FM is requested to reflect this decision in relevant schedule of the IT Act 2025. #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree

I have gone and met The Hon’ble Minister Nirmla ji in person.She has assured me in person to be conveyed to all concerned that there is going to be no change in IT exemption on disability pension.Status quo will continue @AmitShah

@narendramodi #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree Honourable Pradhan Mantri Ji, सादर प्रणाम।The Honourable Fin Minister Smt Nirmala Ji has proposed to tax disability pension of retired soldiers from 01 April 2026 onwards. May I request your kind intervention to have this proposal rolled back.

@narendramodi #KeepDisabilityPensionTaxFree Respected PM Sir, you have always praised our Armed Forces. But under your leadership the Disability Pension of Armed Forces Veterans which has been Tax Free since 1922, is proposed to be Taxed now. Kindly Withdraw this amendment.JAI HIND 🇮🇳
