Physical fitness is of great importance in the Armed Forces, which is why most ex-servicemen remain physically fit even after retirement. But many times it happens that due to some accident they become disabled, either they are not able to walk at all or they are not able to drive a normal bike or scooter. At present, the Kendriya Sainik Board provides financial assistance to these soldiers to buy battery wheel chairs or modified scooters or any other equipment that helps them to move.
The objective of this scheme is to provide financial assistance for purchase of battery wheel chair or modified scooter or any device which helps in movement for the ex-servicemen who have been disabled by 50% or more due to any reason.
From 01 April 2022 Rs 1 lakh (maximum) is available. This money comes from the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund.
As soon as the above mentioned documents reach the Kendriya Sainik Board, that signed post dated check is torn and if the documents do not reach then that check is deposited in AFFDF. The application has a prescribed format, which has to be submitted along with a copy of the following documents, attested by the District Sainik Welfare Officer:-
The life of mobility equipment is fixed at 10 years. Ex-servicemen can apply for new equipment again after 10 years. The application has to be submitted to the Zilla Sainik Board. The District Sainik Welfare Officer checks the application and if the application and documents are correct, sends them directly to the Kendriya Sainik Board. As soon as the application is received in Kendriya Sainik Board it is sent to the Welfare Section.
There, the clerk re-checks that application and if the application, documents are correct then puts them up to the Joint Director (Welfare) for signing. All the applications received in a month are put together for the approval of the Secretary, Kendriya Sainik Board / Competent Authority. After getting the approval, the welfare section sends the application to the account section for payment and the account section transfers the amount to the specified account.
As soon as the amount is paid in the account, then the ex-serviceman has to give this information to the Zilla Sainik Board and the Zilla Sainik Board informs the Kendriya Sainik Board about it.
