    E A new Act is being introduced to provide reservation for retired defence personnel in private sector jobs. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement A is incorrect because the ex gratia amount for families of slain defence personnel has been increased from ₹10 lakh to ₹50 lakh, not reduced. Statement B is incorrect as the period for families of martyrs to apply for government jobs has been increased from two years to five years, not reduced. Statement C is incorrect because the reservation for Agniveers in government jobs pertains to ensuring job security post-service and is not limited to Group A and B posts. Statement D is correct as contract workers of the Sainik Welfare Department will now receive leave equivalent to that of permanent employees. Statement E is incorrect since the new Act being introduced provides reservation for Agniveers in government jobs, not in private sector jobs.
