The Finance Bill 2026 would end tax exemptions on disability pensions for armed forces personnel who retire after superannuation, even if disabilities stem from service—limiting full exemptions only to those invalided out early. This reverses over a century of tax-free status, affecting 80-85% of about 200,000 recipients for a tiny fiscal gain of ₹125 crore yearly, or 0.0028% of gross tax revenue. Veterans share personal stories of worsening injuries and argue it unfairly penalizes those who served on despite pain, while supporters cite past misuse concerns; opposition parties call it an insult as Parliament debates the bill.

Key Takeaway

Veterans like Lt Col Mohan Ahluwalia put it simply: 'Injury doesn’t change at superannuation.' Their frustration stems from a proposed tax on pensions earned through years of service and sacrifice.
