The government will provide the retiring combatants with 50 per cent of the total amount to be given to them through the state owned commercial banks. Each combatants needs to open his or her account in one of the three banks such as Nepal Bank, Rastriya Banijya Bank and Agriculture Development Bank for the government to deposit the 50% of the total amount each of the combatants receives.
The government has decided to provide the voluntarily retiring combatants with Rs. 500,000 to 800,000 depending on the positions they have held in the People’s Liberation Army in two installments. In total 9,500 out of 19,500 combatants opted to voluntarily retire; and 6,500 will continue their services in an especial unit of the Nepal Army.
