Reinstating government’s commitment on implementing the ‘One Rank,
One Pension’ policy, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said the
issue is pending as the method of calculating pension is stuck between the
Armed Services and the Defence Ministry.
“I have already in the last Budget said that we are going to implement
 ‘One Rank, One Pension’. This need not be stated on every occasion.
 We are completely committed to it,” Jaitley told reporters here when
 asked about the delay in launching the scheme.
As and when that idea is formulated, not only it should be implemented,
 it will be implemented, he added.Explaining the reasons behind the delay
, the Minister said: “The methodology of calculating the One Rank,
 One Pension is an issue pending between the Services and the
Defence Ministry.”
“You may only notice that I have today, despite the squeeze,
increased the allocation for Defence by almost Rs 25,000 crore,”
 Jaitley said.
Last month, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had said that ‘
One rank, One pension’ scheme will be rolled out soon.
The scheme, which seeks to ensure that a uniform pension is paid
 to defence personnel who retire at the same rank with the same
 length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement, has
been a long-standing demand of the over two million
 ex-servicemen in the country.

WHILE CALCULATING A PENSION UNDER OROP FOR THE RANK OF AA(W)2 IT SHOULD BE ALONG WITH THE RANK OF CHIEF ARTIFICER AS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME RANK BUT TECHNICAL DESIGNATION IS DIFFERENT THEN WHY DIFFERENCES IS CREATED AND PARTIATED AS AA(W)3: AA(W)2 AND AA(W)1 ACTUALLY ALL ARE CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS WEARING SAME UNIFORM IN THE INDIAN NAVY THUS PENSION OF CHIEF ARTIFICER IS TO BE PAID TO RANKS AA(W)3 AA(W)2 & AA(W)1

Dear Sir, plz. note that the Sergeant in the rank of air force where personnel continue to remain up to 19 years or more because of lack of promotional avenues. post 6th CPC has given some relief by giving MACP.What about the pre 2006 retirees??..........

Dear Chairman IESM,
What is the fate of a pensioner-a Major who retired pre 1986 with a commissioned service of( total service of over 20 years but reckonable due loss of seniority due to being an EC officer) In addition central Govt service of over 9 years out of which 2/3rd counted for pension. Hope such cases are not ignored while arriving at pension. Such mention must also be made while putting up recommendatory papers for FM's consideration.
