Disability pension will be taxable to military personnel who superannuated under normal circumstances, defence sources said Tuesday.

The pension will be non-taxable only to those personnel who have retired due to any kind of disability, they added.

Citing a Finance Ministry circular, dated June 24, sources said, "Tax exemption will be available to armed forces personnel who have been invalided from the service on the account of bodily disability attributable to or aggravated by such service and not to personnel who have been retired or superannuated or otherwise."
