FORTY YEAR WAR OROP : HUM SAB EK HAIN

 

 

 

                 One Rank One Pension — OROP

Whilst the Government has announced acceptance of the principle of OROP, there are serious drawbacks that the country needs to know to appreciate why the agitation has not been withdrawn.

OROP implies “Same Pension for same rank, for same number of years of service rendered, regardless of when retired and any future enhancements in rate of pension to be passed to Past Pensioners automatically.”

There are many contradictions in what has been announced by the Government and what actually comprises OROP:

1VRS  : Government has created avoidable confusion by including

  ‘VRS’ in   their announcement as VRS does not exist in Defence Forces. However, those who have taken Pre-Mature Retirement must come under OROP.

2 BASE YEAR : After having agreed to FY 13-14, the

   Government has  now gone to some never-heard concept of middle of calendar year!

3.ANNUAL EQUALISATION: This is the very core

of OROP   in order to   ensure that no Senior ever gets less pension than a junior and cannot be ignored by making equalisation every five years.

4 ONE-MAN COMMISSION: If the Govt were to

 agree to all the points   put up by ESM, there would be no need for any Commission. However, if unavoidable, it must be a Committee of five: three ESM, one serving member and one person nominated by RM and the report must be submitted in one month and NOT six months.

 

5 AVERAGE OF PAY SCALES: The Defence
  Minister had earlier assured  that pensions would be taken from “top of the pay scales” whereas now, the Government seems to have gone to an unknown concept!

6 OROP INDEPENDENT OF CPC: Whatever

 awards accrue from OROP     must be totally protected from anything that Central Pay Commissions may give to Central Government employees.

 

7 OROP CONCEPT ‘IN PERPETUITY’:

  Everything that is given to Defence Forces pensioners are given in perpetuity for all times to come. Changes proposed by Government will not save any significant amount of money for the Nation but will definitely dilute and distort the definition of OROP which the Ex Servicemen have been seeking for last 40 years.
