not used to threads and forums. but my reply is anyway apt for my point. this is something every country with budgetary jurisprudence does. Our army doesnt make profits, so it has to maintain its book. Ultimately the government pays for it. And also armymen donate a lot in times of disaster. They dont need to do anything extra.
This is how it is suppose to be, and may be in India it is like this, but some Indians here want to justify Army receiving payments for helping its citizen during natural disasters.
See a quote from the link I posted.
A study of the
Budget of the government of India over successive years shows that there has never been any payment made to the
Army by a state or central government department for this. Since any such payment has to come from the consolidated fund of the state or the Centre, those payments would have reflected in the
Budget provisions of the government.
It is also not the case that the Centre or states do not pay for taking the help of other uniformed services. The
Budget of the home ministry each year shows the payments made by the states concerned for taking the help of various central government police forces like the ITBP,
CRPF and
CISF. The numbers are impressive. For the financial year 2018-19, the expected payout by all states is Rs 36.98 billion. Since the
expenditure is a predictable year on year, the sum stays flat, after making allowance for wage inflation.
