Govt allows leave encashment for deceased defence personnel
The Cabinet has approved leave encashment of up to 180 days for the defence personnel who died or were invalidated from service between end of December 1991 and November 1999, with under 15 years' service. Notably, this includes a large number of casualties inflicted during the Kargil conflict. It'll benefit the families of 9,777 personnel that fall within this category.
