Now, the soldiers posted in Siachen will get Rs 30000 per month as allowance. Earlier, they used to get Rs. 14000 per month. The officers will now get monthly allowance of Rs 42500, which was earlier Rs 21000.

The Cabinet also increased allowances paid to nurses & ministerial staffs of hospitals. The nursing allowance has been increased from Rs.4800 to Rs.7200 per month.
