For ease of understanding, I will try & split this into two sub threads.
1. Circumstances Pre 3rd CPC (Headed by Justice Raghubir Dayal) &
2. Post 3rd CPC.
P.S. 3rd CPC was the first Commission to review pay & allowances of The Armed Forces of India.

Pay & pensions were lower than those of British personnel in the Indian Army. During WW2, these were hiked. After the war, these were reduced & brought at par with civilians. Post Independence, pensions were fixed by Armed Forces Pension Revision Committee (AFPRC).

AFPRC recommendations were implemented wef 01.06.53. Pensions remained more or less fixed till next pay commission for civilians was finalised. A Lt Col drew a fixed pension of Rs.625/- from Jun 1953 till Oct 1961. No DA/DR was admissible to pensioners before 3rd CPC.

..AFPRC used formula of 1/60 to work out pensions rank wise. Max pension was capped at 30 years of service. Person retiring with 30 years or more of service got a pension 30/60 (50%) of rank emoluments. Instead of indl calculation of pension, it was done as per rank.

Rank was to be held for at least 2 years to get pension for the same rank. However, it was based on the minimum pay of the rank for officers & mean of the pay group for PBOR. There was a depression of 2 years for PBOR who served from 15 years to 25 years.

Civilian pension formula wasn't altered much. Significant change was to increase qualifying service for pension from 30 to 33 years. Thereafter, max pension improved to 33/80 (41.25%) for 33 years of service. Formula for DR was worked out.

The relief was to be given as & when there is a 16 points rise in the 12-monthly average of the All India Working Class Consumer Price Index (1960=100).
On the other hand, service pensions were revamped. Same 33/80 formula was used to work out defence pensions.

Blaming Mrs Indra Gandhi for punishing Armed Forces for winning the war and rewarding civilians instead is an absurd statement without any truth in it. Unfortunately, we fall into these traps and circulate these with out verification.
