Unlike other ESM Associations, TSEWA does believe in collective wisdom of its members whether they are officers or Sepoys. Any decision is taken is only by majority view. None in the Executive committee or Core Gp have authoratative powers be it President, Vice-President, Gen Secy, Treasurer, Joint Secy. It is all by voting and majority view prevails.
That is how decisions are taken in TSEWA.
OROP notification after a long wait has been issued by Min of Def on 07 Nov 2015. Many veterans are asking me to make stand of TSEWA on OROP and what action is proposed to be taken by TSEWA.
I therefore seek your views and then based on majority opinion, firm our views and then decide on our future course of action.
May I therefore request you to give your point of view point wise. Pl give whether you agree with reasons. Similarly if you do not agree then do give me your views why do you disagree. Saying I agree or not is adequate.
Item 1. Pension of all retirees will be decided based pension drawn by another retiree in calendar year 2013.
Item 2. The pension in 2013 will be decided on the Average of Maximum and Minimum of retirees in 2013. Those who draw above the average will be protected. Pension below average will be brought up to Average level.
Item 3. The arrears will be paid and shall be calculated from Jul 2014 as that is the time NDA-II passed OROP in finance budget of 2014 – 15. Arrears will be paid in four half yearly installments. But Family pensioners and gallantry award winners shall be paid in one go.
Item 4. Pension equalisation shall be done once in five years.
Item 5. PMR cases till now shall be covered under OROP. But those who get PMR will not be eligible to get pension under OROP.
Item 6. One man judicial commission will be constituted to adjudicate any anomalies. The Commission will submit its report after six months.
Item 7. Pension tables for all ranks and all categories will be issued to all PDAs and new pension with arrears shall be remitted by PDAs without asking any seeking anything from pensioners.
Item 8. What course of action you want TSEWA to take. i.e. organise dharnas, Relay Hunger strikes, take legal course, sit on Fast unto Death etc.
Once I receive your valuable and considered views, I shall make stand of TSEWA known to all. Then we shall pursue our course of action.
I request you to submit your views item wise by 15 Nov 2015.
Regards,
Brig CS Vidyasagar (Rtd)

No black Diwali. Heaven has not fallen.
ReplyDeleteI am saying from day one that do not protest like street beggars
Many will say
Q: 1 What is use to going to court
A; We got rank pay through SC.
We will get real Orop through court only
Q2: Notification is now how could we have gone earlier
A2: SC has directed in Feb to pay Orop in 3 months.
After 3 months a contempt of court case can be filed.
Live with pride & gracefully take real Orop from SC.
Never degrade yourself
SC will teach babus in a fine way
Now serving too are feeling heat No PMR
Army will be now of oldies & fighting efficiency will go down.
Superseded will serve under juniors. Disgruntled Army cannot fight with young enemy armies
Babu's ignorance about army will have cascading effect on nation
