May 03, 2007 (FIDSNS)
The soldiers deployed in notified Counter Insurgency Operations are entitled for Special Compensatory Counter Insurgency Allowance (SCCIA) at the rates which range from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 3900 per month subject to the fulfillment of laid down conditions.
The Civilians as well as Defence Service Personnel working in Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and Civilians of Military Engineer Services (MES) are not entitled to SCCIA since they are not actually involved in the conduct of counter insurgency operations. However, the Defence Service Personnel of MES are entitled for SCCIA. It may be added that Civilian employees of BRO and MES working in some specified districts in Jammu & Kashmir are, however, entitled to certain incentives/special benefits as per order issued by Department of Personnel & Training.
