20 years of service recognised: Retired woman IAF officer wins 15-year legal battle for pension as AFT alters ruling

A retired Indian Air Force (IAF) woman officer, Wing Commander Chandi, won a 15-year legal battle after the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) Chandigarh Bench modified its 2015 ruling.

The tribunal ruled that she is entitled to pension and other retirement benefits after completing 20 years of service.

This decision sets a precedent for similar cases involving IAF officers.
