The Defence Ministry said 58,275 former servicemen—who didn't receive their April pension—will have the same credited to their bank accounts by Wednesday night. Their pensions were stalled owing to "identification delays," but the ministry granted them a "one-time special waiver" to furnish the required documents. The ex-servicemen were unaware of this requirement since the government switched to a new online pension disbursing system recently.
