CHAPTER IX

CASH GRANTS TO GALLANTRY/NON-GALLANTRY AWARD WINNERS

1.

The cash grants being provided by the States/UTs to their Gallantry Award

Winners vary widely from State to State. It was felt that the State Govts should consider
uniform grant of cash awards to the gallantry award winners so that service personnel
hailing from different States but serving in the same Units do not get discriminated in
terms of cash grants for the same act of bravery. The point was discussed during the KSB
meetings and also the Honble Raksha Mantri had requested the States/UTs vide his letter
dated 11 Oct 96, to accept the rates recommended by MOD for grant of cash grants to
Gallantry-Non-Gallantry award winners and implement the same at the earliest.
2.

The rates of cash grants recommended by MOD are as under:-
