The government of India, in an attempt to resolve and felicitate the Defence veterans, launched a dedicated pensioners portal named Raksha Pension Shikayat Nivaran Portal. The portal was launched by the Hon'ble Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on the occasion of Armed Forces Veterans' Day observed every year on January 14th. In addition, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced three new schemes for the welfare of ex-servicemen and their families. The Raksha Pension Shikayat Nivaran Portal is aimed at resolving disputes over ESMs and their families' family pensions and will benefit current and future military retirees.
