Gorkha ESM
The salary and other benefits received by Gorkhas from Nepal in the Indian Army are the same as provided to their Indian counterparts. Many Indian Gorkha ESM living in Pokhara and Jhapa in Nepal and from Bhutan, admit this. They receive exactly identical extended facilities received by Indian soldiers. The ESM of Indian Army living in Nepal are provided welfare support comparable to what is available to their Indian counterparts. According to the same source, the Gorkhas in the Indian Army receive over Rs 6 billion (600 crores) per annum as salary.
Benefits
A large proportion of this amount is repatriated into Nepal as the serving soldiers are provided free ration, accommodation, medical benefits, educational facilities, and so on. Indian Army disburses approx Rs 5000 million as pension to 0.103 million ESM living in Nepal every year. The direct benefits received by the Nepali nationals in the Indian Army and ESM living in Nepal exceed Rs 11 billion per annum. This amount is more than the total foreign grants received by Nepalese Government each year as budgetary support.
Historical roots.
Gorkha Battalions in the Indian Army are well known for their bravery and are respected worldwide for their battlefield skills. They are royal warriors and remain undefeatable. We are proud of their noble achievements.
