Government accepts recommendation of one-rank-one pension for ex-servicemen

July 6th, 2009 - 4:35 pm ICT by ANI

New Delhi, July 6 (ANI): Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Monday said that the Government has decided to substantially improve the pension of pre 01.01.2006 defence pensioners below officer rank and bring pre 10.10.1997 pensioners on par with post 10.10.1997 pensioners.

Presenting the Budget proposals for the year 2009-10 in Lok Sabha, Mukherjee said that it was based on the recommendation of the Committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary on One Rank One Pension (OROP).

The Minister further said that these decisions will be implemented from July 1, 2009 and will cost the exchequer more than Rs. 2100 crore annually.

“These measures will benefit more than 12 lakh Jawans and JCOs. Certain pension benefits being extended to war wounded and other disabled pensioners are also being liberalized,” he added.

Under the one-rank one-pension scheme, a retired defence personnel of a particular rank would be entitled to same amount of pension irrespective of the year of retirement. (ANI)

Govt has just made a mockery of retired defence officers. Pm and FM think that defence officers belong to elite class and are Khandani Rayees and do not require any monetory help. My dear PM and FM saheb please think over it again. Ask yourself that have you done justice to officers. I am doubtful that you may ditch PBOR also as no final orders have been issued,.

In the budget speech, the FM declares based on the recommendations of the committee, says that pre 97 pensioners be brought in par with the year post - 1997 pensioners, these words are slightly confusing. One rank one pension means pension be given to all as per the 2006 pension recommendations.

Nothing spoke about the 70 perecent weightage which was approved by the cabinet earlier. pl pay these soldiers immediately. Everybody is waiting for it.
The serving soldiers make up their mind on the baisis of what their pensioner friends receiving from the govt. thank you sir.

Hi Guys,
This is former iaf member gp-1 jwo wef 30 nov 97, all these changes are for gp 2 and below rankers, gp-1 members forget any changes in ur pensions, it is just an eye wash, a hindi saying (Gadha-Godah eik), all ur efforts of keeping airforce hi-tech equipments sky worthy in gp-1 position were only for that period and today ur are back with gp-4 or gp-5.

Officers led our troops to victory then they led them (after retirement ) to victory for ONE RANK ONE PENSION. They were punished for this act. Kya chaal kheli hai govt ne officer or jco/jawano ko bantne me. Mubarak ho PM, FM and DM saheb

The govt announced the one rank one pension in the parliament. Nothing heard so far from the pension authorities. Really how much benefit the old pensioners be getting?secondly what about the 70 percent weightage to pension to serving and retired solders. I am told that still the soldiers going on pension are not being granted the 70 percent benefit. The cabinet approved this benefit before the election, once the UPA came in to power, they keep mum.The leaders of the exservicemen and the serving soldiers must speak to the govt, please circulate the real story for the information of all concerned.It is heard that the General of the army also not speaking about this problem to the authorities.Unless you strike, the civil babus never act. Please give a feed back.Thanks

OROP why only to defence persons,what sin civilians have done.If Defence personels are thinking that they are the only gaurdian of this country.It is wrong thing going on in this country .They and their high ups are behaving like trade union leaders,govt. should immediately break up this practice.By this time they have sqeezed enough of taxpayers.They are pressing one demand after other.In fact they are immensely benifited through free ration,,traveling,taxfree commodities through canteen etc.Defence persons working in remote area are getting other allowances still they are demanding more and more. In fact there are many caders are working like civilians and there nature of job is also civil but they also want to extract the same benifit only on the name of working in defence organisations.Enogh is enogh Govt. should stop this pulling by them immediately.and also consider the civilians for OROP if defence persons doing civilian job are considered for the same.Because there is avast difference in pension drawn before and after oi-oi-2006.

Poor sudharkarji never knows about the military personnel ie about their duties , responsibilities, hardships they face while serving for the nation. Probably sudharkarji may be a civilian employeee, may be with a state govt or with the centre.Civilians work and live in their own style and without any pressure or compulsion. See around civil govt complexes; how much output a civilian employ has to produce; how sharp has one military man to stay, how carefully he has to stay;how much discipline he has to maintain; he is sacrificing his easy life unlike his civilian friends; thru how much odds he has to move. Sudharkarji, by luck, a civilian gets into service once -means, he stays back up to 60 without any fear, whereas a military man is being thrown out of srvice in his younger life, with a megre pension; by that time his reponsibilities will be completed only one-fourth; and that poor defence man has to go for all types odd jobs to run his family. Sudharkarji, is it the case of a civilian employ, probably you are sitting in a cage without knowing what is out side. what is the importance of military force for a nation and its people.
All nations are s triving for strong defence whereby their survical is ensured, in that scenario your comments are rearly suicidal. Correct it man for the national sake.

Yes, we did not get out dues as yet; we struggle for that now.wait and watch

My Dear Kurupji you have not understand the thim of my cmments properly.You got angry on my comments because you feel it is direct encroachment on your asking benifits.I am well aware of the hardships the defence personels are facing,but at the sametime donot under estimate the burden and tension has to be bear by civilian staff also.In defence services also one catagory is no better than the civilians.My dear friend I am not siting in cage and I have much more exposure than you,my coments were well thought.In fact you defence personels are siting in the cage and have limited thinkig.So please donot prolong further coments after coments think realistic.Do you think that a Nurse working in civil Hospital has less responsibility than a Nurse working in Military Hospital.Why she should not demand for OROP.

My dear KK,

My intension was not to hurt you but to make you feel that if such language is used for you then how you feel. There are bad politicians who bring bad name to the country but ther are very good politicians also who have made India prous of it’s progress. Similarly ther are well experienced and highly disciplined officers who have taken forces to such a greight height. These are the officers who gave led Indians forces to Victory in 65 and 71.
You might have been victim of some officer due to his bad deeds or your own bad discipline. That is why you are using filthy language against them. Don’t do it as it reflects your social and mental standard. The govt is not giving us our dues but we have to protest with our full united strength but in a civilized manner. Govt is not giving proper treatment to PBORS and Officers. Because senior officers are leading them in the protests, the govt is trying to create an ocean of difference between officers and PBRS. Mind it without their guidance proper treatment to all ranks is not possible.

You asked about me. Well I joined Army at an age of 14.5 yrs. After serving as OR for 10 yrs, I was commissioned as JCO. After another 13 yrs in JCO rank I got commissioned as an officer and after further 14 years I retired as Major. As an OR I took active part in 62 and 65 wars in J&K. As JCO I was in action in bangle Desh and as an officer I spent 2 years in Sri Lanka fighting LTTE.

Now join the ex servicemen to fight against the wrong policies of Govt towards all of us.

Dear Razak saheb,

As far as I knows yes, they are counted as officer in case you want to utilize CSD facility or apply for reemployment or self employment. But as far as pension is concerned they are PBORs. Hence Hony Offrs must benefit from One Rank One Pension. We will clarify further as I may be wrong.

Dear my Ex-Service Brothers,

Rather than fighting each other among officers and PBORs, try to find some solutions to get OROP implemented at the earliest. If possible, advice officers category personnel not to interupt the implementation by equalising every one just for want of benefits extended to PBORs. They can fight for their rights and get the benefits as most of the senior officers having political contacts of various parties.

Maj RS Saini Says:
October 12th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
U R MORE THEN CORRECT. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT PBORS GET FULL BENFIT. THEY MUST BE LOOKED AFTER WITH TOP PRIORITY. AT THE SAME TIME OFFICERS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED. THIS MUST BE OUR COMBINED STRUGGLE.
K kurup Says:
October 14th, 2009 at 11:30 am
For Maj Saini and other interested soldiers,

I just gathered that 70 percent weightage is not allowed by the govt, I have no confirmation. Pl find out from your sources as well.We can get this information thru an RTI. Since the exservicemen were drawing pension thru the 70 percent weightage, how this pay commission can take out this benefit. If any knowledgable person reads this, pl advise us the legal side of it. I think the exservicemen were enjoing the pension on the 70 percent weightage, I dont think such benefits can be taken away from them in a fine morning; infact something can be added. Please get some information and comment. If this is the case , surely we have to go to the court.

Thanks

Dear Maj Saini saheb,

Thank you for your comments stating that top priority must be given to PBORs. At the same time, kindly pass on your acceptance to http://www.IESM.org (in my opinion it is a website which speaks so many things about equivalisation). If you compare the benefits and preferences between Off & PBORs, difference is a lot. But we should stand united to fight. When it comes clearly that officers are opposing implementation of OROP to PBORs for want of same to them, we can not say it is unity. Advise and ask them to get OROP implemented first and fight quotingand demanding the same for them.
I would like to know the procedure to apply for RTI.
Thanks. Warm regards.
Maj RS Saini Says:
October 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
I do no think that any officer opposes OROP to PBORs. In fact it must be implemented immediately. Once it is implemented,it will make a solid ground for officers to fight for their rights.

Our Govt. is taking advantage of our inability that we can not get union and make rasta roko, chakka jam andolan etc. We should do something that we, who served the nation under worst conditions are not week.

Best regards

Maj RS Saini Says:
October 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
My Dear Haribabu,

u r correct. The govt. has taken for granted that we cant fight for our rights. We are disciplined lot. We cant burn trains, buses or govt property. we cant block trains or roads. Govt listens only to people who do such thing. No we cant do this but we have find a way to nail our demands into the head of govt.

Next time please do not vote for those who do nothing for us.

70% and then OROP. Our hounerable PM and FM and DM are constructing a Mirage around us. More we go deep more we find nothing. Govt never accepted OROP but cleverly announced that our pensions will be increased. “How much and when” no body knows not even the govt. have a patience and wait, may be, for years.
