Armed forces personnel dissatisfied with One Rank
Though the UPA government has rolled out the One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme for ex servicemen, and tried to bridge the gap between pre and post January 2006 retirees, resentment is brewing among serving and retired armed forces personnel, who have termed it an and a feeble attempt at of Gold Patent leather Au Palace 120mm a fault dating back to 2006.
Several ex servicemen, as well as serving armed forces personnel, pointed out on Tuesday MultiColor Leather Armadillo Bride 120mm that after the Government Rs. 2300 crore package for pensioners, a sepoy would be entitled to a total increase of Rs. 622 per month in his pension, and the raise would be Rs. 761 for a havildar.
They pointed out that several anomalies still remain, and none of the core issues, raised by the three Service Chiefs in August with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, have been accepted.
Among other things, the three Service Chiefs had asked for the resolution of serving personnel issues, like fixation of common payscales for all JCOs and Other Ranks, grant of non functional upgradation status to commissioned officers, and one rank one pension to the retired Pink Patent Leather Fifi Sling 80mm personnel. The Chiefs had also pointed out disparities between officers in uniform and their civilian counterparts.
Citing an example, some officers pointed out disparities in nine organisations of Group A services within the armed forces, where a superintendent engineer was at par with a colonel, but after non functional upgradation (NFU), had become equivalent to a Major General, whereas the chief engineer, higher in status in that very Black Patent leather Au Palace 120mm organisation, was equivalent to a Brigadier.
While pledging to continue their struggle for their rights, ex servicemen said the pension hike, announced on Monday, amounted to and deceitful treatment of their long pending OROP demand.
is deceiving. The Government has wrongly interpreted the term Rank One Pension (OROP). They haven given OROP; instead they have just merely made an enhancement in pension, Chairman of Indian Ex Servicemen Movement (IESM) Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Raj Kadyan, said here.
IESM on Tuesday wrote to Dr. Antony, and the three Service chiefs, explaining how the government decision doesn meet their long pending demand to provide equitable pensions. There might have been times when soldiers were gullible but no more. Request add the same at the earliest.

The Govt cannot clearly be trusted on any issue. The ex servicemen have been cheated on several accounts. On their salary since 1986, On OROP, and even basic health care ECHS which is far from what was promised to be provided. All requests and complaints fall on deaf ears.
please stop calling it OROP because it is no wherenar the requirement. The babu's have as usual tried to fool the public. They had 8 aspects to cover and hae not refered to 4 of them. What a shame!!.
