Presently the rates of Detachment Allowance are enhanced by 75 percent in J&K theatre. Similar enhancement has been sought in LWE theatre as well.
Defence forces have demanded that Detachment Allowance should be extended to Defence personnel also.
The Detachment Allowance should be enhanced by 50 percent in both J&K as well as LWE theatres.
Detachment Allowance will be granted at full rate for first 10 days, at 75 percent of the full rate for next 10 days and at 50 percent of the full rate for the remaining period. The existing conditionality of return to HQ for continuation of the allowance beyond 180 days should be removed in case of CAPF personnel.
Regarding the demand for extension of the allowance to Defence personnel, the Commission is of the view that movements of Defence forces entail shifting of their Headquarters Hence, grant of Detachment Allowance to Defence personnel cannot be considered.
