Dear Sir

The terms and conditions for eligibility to Service Pension are different for Airmen and NCs (E). Though pension
has a very old history however for every individual who is going out of service, getting his own pension is
his first experience. For the purpose of Pension, AFRO is basically a front end processing agency for
Airmen /NCs (E) however the financial power to issue Pension Payment Order (PPO) for Defence, vests
with the financial watchdogs of the Government i.e. Controller General of Defence Accounts/ his
representatives.
The terms and conditions for eligibility to Service Pension are different for Airmen and NCs (E).
Everyone who joins as an Airman & NC (E) in IAF can become eligible for Service Pension if he meets the
following service conditions as laid down in Para 121 of Pension Regulation 1961(Part – I) for Airmen and
in regulation 145 of pension regulations for Army (part-I) {for NCs (E)}:
(a) Eligibility for Airmen : A minimum of 15 years of qualifying service.
(b) Eligibility for NCs (E) : A minimum of 20 years of qualifying service.

(b) Eligibility for NCs (E): A minimum of 20 years of qualifying service.

In your case, your total period of service is only 11 years 6months, which is less than minimum eligibility for Airmen.
Hence you cannot claim the pension for your total service period.
