Haryana Additional Pension to 100% Disabled Ex-Serviceman having No Child 2026: Rs 100/Month Flat, Eligibility & Apply

The Haryana Government’s Additional Pension scheme gives an extra Rs 100 per month — over and above the pension — to ex-servicemen who are 100% disabled, whose disability is attributable to service, and who have no child. The scheme is run by the Sainik and Ardh Sainik Welfare Department of Haryana, and the money comes from the Haryana Defence and Security Relief Fund. Applications are made online through the Antyodaya SARAL portal, and a paper application can also be given in Form I to the Secretary of the District Sainik Board (ZSB) of your district. This guide gives the eligibility, benefit, documents, the full online and offline application process, fee, status check and helpline — and wherever the information could not be confirmed from an official source, that is written clearly.

Please note: this scheme is only for 100% disabled ex-servicemen having no child. If you have children, this scheme does not apply — there is a separate scheme for them, paying Rs 100–200 per child per month (see ‘The Biggest Confusion’ below). Do not mix the two up.

How Much Will You Get? — Rs 100 a Month Flat

According to myScheme, this scheme pays an additional pension of Rs 100 per month — the same for every rank, whether the applicant is an Other Rank, a JCO or an Officer. The amount is paid in addition to the pension, not instead of it. The benefit runs until death.

The amount looks small — and it is: the rate is from a memo dated 31 January 2006, twenty years old. No increase after 2006 could be found on searching — but that also cannot be stated with certainty as the rate today. Please confirm the current rate in writing from your ZSB before applying.

Year / order	Rate — 100% disabled ex-serviceman having no child
1976 — Rule 3(d), “Haryana Additional Pension for Widows, Disabled, Ex-servicemen and their Children Rules, 1976”	Rs 30 per month flat, irrespective of rank, till death
30 November 1992 — memo (referred to in the 2006 memo)	Rates could not be obtained — not verified; no rate has been invented in this guide
From 1 February 2006 — Memo No. 17/1/05-2D II Addl.Pen., dated 31 January 2006	Rs 100 per month flat, irrespective of rank, till death
Today — myScheme (checked 9 November 2026)	Rs 100 per month flat — no increase found after 2006

A printing error in the 2006 memo: in the PDF text, category (d) is printed as “(having children)”, although category (c) already gives the per-child rates for those having children. From the pattern of Rule 3(d) of the 1976 Rules (no child — Rs 30 flat, till death) and the flat Rs 100 rate, it is clear that category (d) is the no-child category. The rate is stated as confirmed in this guide and the category name is written on this reasoning — the same error appears in category (b) (widow having no child) of the memo.

The Biggest Confusion — This Pension vs Other Schemes

Several schemes carry the name “Additional Pension” and each has different conditions. Applying under the wrong one wastes time — first fix your category from this table:

Scheme	Who gets it	How much
This scheme (APDEMNC)	100% disabled ex-serviceman, no child, disability attributable to service	Rs 100/month flat, till death
100% disabled ESM having children (APDESMC)	100% disabled ex-serviceman, having children, disability attributable to service	Rs 100/150/200 per child/month, max 3 children
Widow having children (APWESMC)	Widow of a jawan who died while in service (not in battle), having children	Rs 100/150/200 per child/month, max 3 children
Widow having no child (APWESMNC)	Widow of a jawan who died while in service (not in battle), having no child	Rs 100/month flat (category (b) of the 2006 memo)
Disabled ESM — disability NOT attributable to service	Disabled ex-serviceman, disability not attributable to service	Rs 7,000/month (from 1 November 2026)
Divyang Pension	Disabled person above 18 years (Social Justice Department)	Rs 3,200/month
Ex-servicemen 60+ and widows	Ex-servicemen above 60 years and their widows	Rs 600/month

Do not confuse this with the Centre’s age-based additional pension either (20% at 80 years of age and so on, under the CCS Rules) — that is a separate arrangement for Central pensioners. The war-widow assistance (Rs 7,000/month) for the widow of a jawan martyred in battle is a different scheme again.

Who Is Eligible?

Under myScheme and the 1976 Rules, all of these conditions must be met together:

• You must be a permanent resident of Haryana.
• You must be an ex-serviceman — a member of the Armed Forces released from service due to 100% disability or permanent incapacity to work (Rule 2(b)).
• The disability or incapacity must be attributable to service — whether it is attributable to service or not will be verified from the concerned military Authorities, whose decision shall be final (Rule 2(b)).
• You must have 100% disability — this scheme does not apply at 99% or less.
• You must have no child — this condition applies equally, irrespective of rank.
• This is an additional amount over the pension — myScheme states clearly that the Rs 100 is given “in addition to pension amount”.

What does “having no child” mean? myScheme does not define “child” — up to what age a person counts as a child, whether a married daughter, an adopted child or a step-child is included, none of this is written anywhere. The ZSB will decide this at the time of application — please ask your ZSB first and then apply.

Who Is NOT Eligible?

• Disability is less than 100% (for example 80% or 90%) — this scheme needs 100% only.
• Disability is not attributable to service — there is a separate scheme for that (see the table above), not this one.
• You have children — then the scheme for those having children (APDESMC) applies, not this one.
• The applicant is a widow — there are separate schemes for widows (with or without children).
• The applicant is not a permanent resident of Haryana.
• This is not a scheme for the family of a deceased jawan — it is the living ex-serviceman’s own scheme.

Documents Required

myScheme does not give a list of documents. The list below is drawn from the document lists of the sibling schemes and the SARAL process — please check the current list from the SARAL form or your ZSB before applying:

• Aadhaar card
• Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP / Family ID)
• Discharge book / service record — proof of release from service
• Disability certificate — proof of 100% disability and that it is attributable to service (Medical Board / military authority certificate)
• Residence proof — proof of being a permanent resident of Haryana
• Bank account details (bank passbook / account number)
• Passport-size photographs
• SARAL affidavit — the pre-defined form/template must be downloaded from SARAL, filled in and signed, and uploaded

Keep all documents scanned clearly — in PDF or JPG format for uploading on SARAL — and keep the originals with you. If any document is missing, get it made first, because an incomplete application can get stuck.

How to Apply

There are two routes — the online SARAL portal and the paper Form I. myScheme gives the online process; the paper route is in Rule 5(a) of the 1976 Rules.

Online Application — SARAL Portal

First register (if you are applying for the first time):

Step 1: Go to the official website of the Antyodaya SARAL portal, saralharyana.gov.in.

Step 2: Under the “SIGN IN HERE” section, click “New user? Register here”.

Step 3: Fill in your name, email ID, mobile number, password and state in the registration form and click “Submit”.

Step 4: Verify your mobile number and email ID through the OTP received — registration will be complete.

Then apply:

Step 5: Log in to the SARAL portal with your Login ID and password.

Step 6: In the left panel, click ‘Apply for Services’, then click “View All Available Services”.

Step 7: In the list of schemes/services, search for “Additional Pension to 100% Disabled Ex-Serviceman having No Child” and click on it. Download the pre-defined affidavit form/template — the filled-in and signed form must be uploaded in the ‘Attach Enclosures’ screen. (If the scheme name does not appear in the list, ask the SARAL helpline on 0172-3968400 — the service name or serial number is not given on myScheme.)

Step 8: Click ‘Proceed to Apply’ and fill in the application form — enter your Parivar Pehchan Patra number (Family ID) and click “Click here to Fetch Family Data”. Select the family member’s name and verify with the OTP sent to that member’s mobile.

Step 9: Fill in all the mandatory details and upload all the mandatory documents.

Step 10: Preview the filled-in information, then click ‘Submit’. Keep a printout of the ‘Acknowledgement Receipt’ safely — it will carry your Application Reference Number.

If you face difficulty in applying online, you can take help from the nearest Saral Kendra / CSC centre / Atal Seva Kendra — the operator there will help fill in the form on your behalf.

Paper Application — Form I to the ZSB Secretary

Under Rule 5(a) of the 1976 Rules, an eligible person may apply for the grant of additional pension in Form I and, after completing it in all respects, submit it to the Secretary of the District Sainik Board of the district concerned. After scrutiny, the Secretary of the District Sainik Board decides the quantum of additional pension payable in each case (Rule 6). If you disagree with the Secretary’s order, an appeal lies to the President of the District Sainik Board (the Deputy Commissioner), whose decision shall be final (Rule 8). There is also a provision for penalty for giving false information (Rule 7) — so fill in only correct information in the form.

Fee, Timeline and Status Check

Application fee: myScheme does not state any application fee for this scheme. If any fee appears while filling the form on SARAL, that will be the applicable one. If you get the form filled at a Saral Kendra/CSC centre, the centre’s service charge may apply separately — ask before getting it filled. No fee amount is written here by us, because it was not found in any official source.

Last date: myScheme lists no last date for the scheme — it remains open all year and you can apply at any time.

Timeline (RTS): myScheme gives no timeline for approval or payment — nothing is stated, so no number of days is written here.

How to check status: You can check the status on the SARAL portal by entering the Department Name, Scheme Name and your Application Reference ID (myScheme). You can also check by SMS — from your registered mobile number, send an SMS to 7738299899 writing: SARAL<space>Application ID (example: SARAL HR-XXXXXXXX).

How Will the Money Reach You? — The Payment Route

Every quarter (once in three months), the Secretary of the concerned District Sainik Board will make the payment — by money order or in cash, as may be convenient (Rule 9; myScheme says the same). The money comes from the Haryana Defence and Security Relief Fund (Rule 12) — the ZSB Secretary intimates the requirement to the Secretary of the Fund, who arranges the funds after satisfying himself about the reasonableness of the requirement.

From when will it be paid: The pension will commence from the date of eligibility (Rule 4(a)) — if eligibility is before 1 March 1975, then from 1 March 1975. Nothing is clearly written in the Rules about arrears — do not assume anything; ask your ZSB.

Half-yearly certificate is compulsory: Every eligible person must give a certificate of eligibility on a half-yearly basis, in Form III, and send it to the concerned Secretary of the District Sainik Board so as to reach him within the months of June and December every year (Rule 11). If this certificate is not sent, the payment can stop — so do not forget to send Form III every June and December.

Budget and Scale of the Scheme

The budget head or the number of beneficiaries of this scheme could not be found in any official source — no figure is written here. At Rs 100 a month, this is a small and old scheme; fresh figures will only come from the Department or the ZSB.

Please Note — These Points Could Not Be Confirmed

Every figure in this guide is taken from an official source (myScheme or the 1976 Rules, including the 2006 memo). Still, there are some important points that were not found in any official source — we are not inventing them; please ask your ZSB in writing before applying:

• Whether the Rs 100 rate still holds today: the rate is from the memo of 31 January 2006; no increase could be found in twenty years of searching — but it also cannot be stated with certainty that the rate is the same today. Confirm the current rate in writing from the ZSB.
• The 1992 memo could not be obtained: the 2006 memo refers to the memo of 30 November 1992; the rates in between (1992–2006) could not be verified — no rate history has been invented in this guide.
• Printing error in category (d) of the 2006 memo: the PDF text prints “(having children)”, but from Rule 3(d) of the 1976 Rules and the flat Rs 100 rate it is clear that this is the no-child category (the same error is in category (b)).
• “Child” is not defined: up to what age a person counts as a child, whether a married daughter, an adopted child or a step-child is included — neither myScheme nor the Rules say anything. The ZSB alone will decide this.
• What happens if a child is born later: if a child is born or adopted after the pension starts, the category may change to the scheme for those having children (APDESMC) — nothing is written about this in the Rules. Do inform the ZSB of any change.
• The document list is not on myScheme: the list given above is drawn from the sibling schemes and the SARAL process — treat the SARAL form or the ZSB’s list as final.
• How 100% disability is decided: the Rules clearly say 100%, but which board decides the percentage of disability and which certificate is needed — myScheme does not say. Ask the ZSB.
• Whether it can be taken with Divyang Pension: whether this additional pension can be drawn together with the Divyang Pension (Rs 3,200/month, Social Justice Department) is not written in any source. Ask the ZSB before applying for both; do not assume anything.
• Fee, RTS timeline, SARAL service number: none of these is given on myScheme — no figure has been invented.
• Budget and beneficiary count: not found in any official source — no estimate has been made.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How much additional pension will a 100% disabled ex-serviceman having no child get?

Rs 100 per month flat — the same for every rank, till death. This amount is over and above the pension, not instead of it.

2. Is this Rs 100 in place of my pension or over and above it?

Over and above it. myScheme states clearly that the Rs 100 is given “in addition to pension amount”.

3. I have children — am I eligible for this scheme?

No. This scheme is only for ex-servicemen having no child. If you have children, the scheme for those having children (APDESMC) applies, paying Rs 100–200 per child per month (maximum 3 children).

4. My disability is 80% — will I get this pension?

No. This scheme needs 100% disability, and that too attributable to service. At less than 100% disability, this scheme does not apply.

5. My disability is not attributable to service — what should I do?

Then this scheme does not apply. There is a separate scheme for disability not attributable to service — Financial Assistance to Disabled Ex-Servicemen, Rs 7,000 a month (from 1 November 2026). Its conditions are different; read that guide first.

6. Where should I apply — on SARAL or at the District Sainik Board?

Both routes exist. The online application is made on the Antyodaya SARAL portal (saralharyana.gov.in); the paper application is given in Form I to the Secretary of the District Sainik Board (ZSB) of your district.

7. When and how will the money be paid?

Every quarter (once in three months), the ZSB Secretary will pay — by money order or in cash, as may be convenient. The money comes from the Haryana Defence and Security Relief Fund.

8. Do I have to submit any certificate every year?

Yes. Every eligible person must send a certificate of eligibility in Form III to the concerned ZSB Secretary every year in the months of June and December (Rule 11). If this certificate is not sent, the payment can stop.
