Discrepancies in One Rank One Pension Scheme
A Committee was constituted under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary to
look into the issue of One Rank One Pension and other related matters. After
considering all aspects of the issue, the Committee did not find it

have been made, which have been accepted by the Government:-
(i) Inclusion of Classification Allowance for PBOR from Jan 01, 2006.
(ii) Removal of linkage of full pension with 33 years from Jan 01, 2006.
(iii) Revision of Lt Gen Pension after carving out a separate pay scale for them.
(iv) Bringing parity between pension of pre and post October 10, 1997 PBOR
pensioners.
(v) Further improving PBOR pensions based on award of GOM, 2006.
(vi) Broadbanding of percentage of disability/war injury pension
for pre -Jan 01, 1996 disability/war injury pensioners.
(vii) Removal of cap on war injury element of pension in the case of disabled
pensioners belonging to Category ‘E’.Recommendations at (i) and (ii) stand
implemented by issue of Government letter dated October 30, 2009.
