Why call it allowances for officers, JCOs and ORs. It is for officers and ORs only. The allowances for JCOs have been reduced to the level of a Sepoy. This is the hypocrisy of officers involved in finalising these allowances. If allowances for JCO can be clubbed with ORs then these allowances be clubbed in one for all ranks, because everybody is doing his work as per his Rank & payment. After putting more than 20-25 years of service, a NCO selected on merits and become a JCO in Armed Forces, who is a bridge between officers and ORs. He has experience of various missions, operations, situations, services etc. Now by this notification this Government has done a grate disservice to Defence Services, broken the back bone of Armed forces. JCOs have been died in Indian Armed Forces.
Jai hind!
