FROM THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF SRI.PALLAM RAJU MINISTER OF STATE FOR DEFENCE, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THERE IS NO FURTHER PROPOSAL FOR OROP, THAN WHAT IS GIVEN ALREADY.
Ministry of Defence
Implementation of One Rank One Pension
Improvement
in pension is an ongoing process. Though the demand for One Rank One
Pension (OROP) has been considered by various Committees in the past but
it has not been found feasible to accept it. However, keeping in mind
the spirit of the demand a Committee was set up under the Chairmanship
of Cabinet Secretary to look into the issue of OROP and other related
matters, which submitted its report on 30.6.2009. The Committee made
seven recommendations to substantially improve pensionary benefits of
Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR) and Commissioned Officers, which
have been accepted by the Government. Department of Ex-Servicemen
Welfare, Ministry of Defence has accordingly issued orders in
implementation of the same vide Government letters dated 30.10.2009,
19.1.2010, 20.1.2010 & 8.3.2010 which are also available on
www.pcdapension.nic.in. These orders have substantially increased the
pension of pre 2006 retirees.
The yearly
statement of booking of Defence Pension Expenditure during and up to the
month of March ending (2009-2010 & 2010-2011) shows that the total
amount allotted for Defence Pension Expenditure has been booked in full
and no amount is lying unspent. Further as per the reports received from
various pension disbursing authorities including Public Sector
Banks/Private Sector Banks almost 98.5% cases requiring revision have
been cleared. Only few cases are pending for revision, which are also
being pursued for early settlement.
The process
of revision of pension is being monitored regularly by the Department
of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (ESW), Controller General of Defence Accounts
(CGDA) and the Department of Financial Services.
This
information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri MM PAllam
Raju in written reply to Shri K.E. Ismail in Rajya Sabha today.
