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 administratively feasible to recommend

of the demand several other recommendations to substantially
improve pensionary benefits of personnel Below Officer Rank

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 pensions. v) Further improving PBOR pensions based on
award of GOM, 2006. vi) Broad banding of percentage of disability
/war injury pension for pre Jan 01, 2006 disability/ war injury pensioners.
vii) Removal of cap on war injury element of pension in the case of
disabled pensioners belonging to Category ‘E’. The recommendations
at (i) and (ii) stand implemented by issue of Government letter dated
October 30, 2009. Average hike in pension of Ex-servicemen of the
three forces of Indian Defence will be known only after all the
recommendations of the Committee have been implemented.This
information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in
written reply to Shri Prakash Javadekar and Shri Parimal Nathwani
in Rajya Sabha today. PK / Raj

Sir,
ReplyDeleteThe Recommendations at (i) & (ii) stand implemented and the hike in pension will be known only after implementation of recommendations at (iv) to (vii).
What about Recommendation at (iii)?
Deliberately left out or it is for others to guess?
What is the necessity for the Govt to carve out something from the recommendations given by Cabinet secretary of the Committee constituted by the same Govt?
If that is the case what is the necessity to constitute a committee and wait so much time?
It means Govt is not willing to implement all the recommendations of the committee? and somehow they want to pass the time by delayimg the OROP.
Moreover they want to differ with the recommendations of Cabinet secretary , in that case they should declare openly why and what for?
IT IS HIGH TIME THAT THE GOVT SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTIES AND THE GRIEVANCES OF SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND THE AIRMEN.
Dear Veteran Kannan,
ReplyDeleteRegards.The recommendation at no. iii already implemented which was for LT.Gen. These politicician speak what ever brief they are given by the bureaucrats. Earlier they were telling they are going to give ONE RANK ONE PENSION.President,Finance Minister, Defence Minister and even Prime Minister ,every body announced the same .After wards they started telling that they are giving us improved pension but we should be sure that we will get this improved pension soon. Let us wait for some time more.
