Pension Regulations | Defence Security Corps Personnel Entitled to One-Year Condonation of Service Shortfall : SC

The Supreme Court ruled that Defence Security Corps (DSC) personnel are entitled to condonation of up to one year's shortfall in qualifying service for a second pension, ensuring parity with other armed forces under the Pension Regulations. This decision reinforces judicial consistency and mandates the Union of India to comply with the statutory entitlement, impacting thousands of DSC retirees.
