The government has decided to provide normal retirement benefits, retrospective promotions, and financial incentives to 150 officers from the army, navy, and air force who faced deprivation or discrimination over the past 17 years. A recent notification from the Ministry of Defence stated that the benefits apply to officers retired, removed, or compulsorily retired between 2009 and August 4, 2024.

According to the notification, 115 army officers, 21 navy officers, and 14 air force officers will receive these benefits, which include due salaries, allowances, and related entitlements. In some cases, special financial incentives will also be provided. The list includes former Brigadier General Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, who was compulsorily retired on June 24, 2009. Under the new decision, he is granted retrospective promotions to Major General from December 26, 2011, and to Lieutenant General from December 26, 2014, along with retirement benefits.

Azmi will receive a special financial incentive of 10 million taka and may be eligible for reappointment in any government or autonomous institution based on age and qualifications, as stated in the notification.
