Visakhapatnam: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said the government has fulfilled its promise of One Rank, One Pension to ex-servicemen to a large extent and it would refer "minor issues", if any, to a one-man commission for redressal.
As promised by BJP, the government has already issued tables of various pensions as per the One Rank-One Pension (OROP) Scheme, which involves an annual fund requirement of approximately Rs. 7,500 crore and Rs. 10,980 crore of arrears which would be paid in four installments, he said.
"This is one promise which is to a large extent -- minus minor issues raised by a few people -- has been fulfilled and we have made provision to also hear any other small, small issues...for retired community from defence forces is huge and a common formula cannot solve all the issues," Mr Parrikar told reporters on the sidelines of an international maritime conference in Visakhapatnam.
"So, if there are some issues left, they can be raised with the government, we will refer it to the one-man commission and then we can come out with a redressal of those mechanisms," the minister added.
The government had last year announced that it will implement OROP under which a uniform pension would be given to armed forces personnel retiring at the same rank with the same length of service.

OROP Tables have been issued by the Government on 03 Feb 2016
ReplyDelete1. A simple definition of orop .which has 3 -S (Same Rank .Same length & same pension )
This simple definition has Not been under stood by high stressed Babu’s & our netas have been taken on ride alonwith veterans
2. Tables are correct up to same rank level only .
3. But on tangent for same length & same pension elements
4. Tables are far away from realities for same length & same pension
5. Orop was to be implemented from 1/4/2014 as per earlier government declaration
6. But babu’s shifted to 1/7/2014.
7. Why so
a) government will save arrears of April May & June.2014
B)The increments falls in July so government will save one increment of 3% of July 2014.
C)Accordingly arrears will be saved due to non implementation of 3% increase.
d) veterans will get only one increase only in 1/7/2015 to 31/12/2015.. (Just 6 months)
7.Now coming to mid way selection of Orop & not highest orop
There are 2 halves in a year & so are 2 halves of pension.( in second half is 3% increase)
The government choose lower half so that higher half pension benefits are not passed on to pensioners
8
Next Babu’s devised another way of mid way of pension.
Say a Col gets 7 years & its half is 3.5 which is only given & another half 3.5 goes to government
8 The ORop in 7th CPC is for each year than why government is struck every 5 years.( no logic at all)
9.On one side Government pumps lacs of crores of rupees to reduce NPA of banks
Which is due to non performance. Instead of punishing them they are given relief & easy let out.
10 will any economist tell me with this that with peanut of saving from Pensioners can any government run better.
Now coming to 7th CPC
The simple formula given is
A)last pension drawn * 2.57= say X
B) next cell in matrix = Say Y
C( number of increments drawn in last rank= Z
Will be the pensioner pension.
Seeing matrix it is made on 6th CPC basis & not
On Orop basis last drawn pension
This is the main reason Forces have come down even from cop
Neither NFU nor OROP for forces.
Only way is SC .. Else we will be biggest looser
Now or Never JM has been totally set aside by babus
Col lamba ( one man army )
Thanks for implementing OROP.I take this opportunity to comment. In the circular 555 Note:Majors completed 21 yrs of service on or after 01 Jan 1996 is not understood and thus needs detailed clarification in the interest of veteran Majors and equivalent including me. Major Prem Kumar Sharma (Retd)
