Pension from iaf

Dear Sir, As per the Terms and Conditions of Service of an Airman with the IAF at that time, I served my term 9 year term of Regular Service with the Indian Air Force, before the end of which I applied to be released on completion of the ninth year. However, at great inconvenience to myself, I was not released as requested. The reason given was that due to "exigencies of the Service" I would not be released as requested. There was a National Emergency in force in the country at the time (circa 1964/1965), and so I could not be released. I had no option therefore, but to serve for a total period of 10 years 8 months, before I was finally granted a Discharge "on personal grounds at his own request". At that time I did not comprehend what the devastating implications of being discharged under this clause would entail, so I accepted the discharge under this clause. My question is, should not cognizance, even at this late date, be taken of the extra service I had to put in during a National Emergency, at great personal inconvenience to myself and my family. The Service Terms and Conditions for an Airman joining at that time, was 9 years Regular plus 6 years Reserve Service, after which he would be entitled to a pension. There was no pension entitlement to him if he was released within nine years. However, in my case, and due to no fault of my own, I had to serve over and above this period. I feel that the extra time I had to serve should have some value. It should entitle me therefore to a proportionate pension, however small. Receiving a pension will also entitle me to a very important perquisite at this stage in the 74th year of my life--Medical Benefits, for me and my wife, to which I am not entitled now. I would be grateful for any valuable advice from anyone with a success story after taking up a similar issue with AHQ, Also from others who may still be fighting a similar battle I am. Regards, Erich Leonhard.
