    Letter of MOD is reproduced as;-
    560/43/TA-(a)/03/00/S(GS-1)
    Government of India,
    Ministry of Defense,
    New Delhi, the 7th Jan 1994

    To
    The Chief Secretary to
    All State Governments/Union Territories .

    Subject: Concession & Incentives sanctioned by State
    Governments to Territorial Army personnel.

    Sir,

    This refers to Ministry of Defense letter No.47560/GS/TA/-3(a)/306-B/D(GS-VI) dated 19th February 1985 and letter of even number dated 8th September 1992 on the incentives by State Governments to Territorial Army personnel.

    2. Most State Governments have instituted some cash awards/grants for the winners of Territorial Army decorations/Medals. However, these awards were instituted a long time back and have been rendered insignificant by inflation. In many States, this reward is limited to Rs.2500/1500 only. It is requested that this may be revised to a minimum of Rs.5000/- for TA decorations and Rs.3000/- for TA medals. Some State Governments have already made the revision.

    3 Government of India had also recommended that the facilities listed below may be considered for Territorial Army personnel. These incentives were listed by a committee which was set up to go into the Territorial Army and are already being given by most State Governments :-

    (a ) Grant of 01 increment for every 03 years Territorial Army service, as is being given by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

    (b) Counting of Territorial Army embodied service for purposes of seniority, promotion and other considerations to those entering civil services.

    (c) Exemption of Road tax on vehicles owned by Territorial Army personnel as is being given by west Bengal Government.

    Yours faithfully,
    Sd/xxxx-
    (S.K. JAIN)
    Joint Secretary (G).
