7 CPC :: DEGRADATION OF ARMED FORCES

DEGRADATION OF ARMED FORCES 

7^TH PAY COMMISSION REPORT

Dear Friends,

1.         Our initial comments:-

• Unfair to Defence Pers. Def Forces have been further degraded and downgraded.
• Edge required to be given to Defence Forces over other Services in basic pay has not been given.  Other democracies pay 15 -25% additional basic pay to Defence Personnel.
• Our differential in pension which existed in 1973 ie Pension 70-75% of LPD for JCOs & ORs & 50% of LPD for Officers, while for Civilians it was 33% has not been restored. This differential should have been mentioned by the 7^th CPC which has not been done.  Accordingly, the Pension of JCOs & ORs should be 90% of LPD and for Officers it would be 70%.
• MSP worked out and recommended by the three Services HQ and ESM was 62% of basic pay for JCOs & ORs and 52% of basic pay for Officers based on various factors.  The MSPs recommended is too less to what has been worked out.
• The pay of the Defence Personnel as worked out by one of our expert Wing Cdr Arvind Vig is less than the Civilian Counter parts where as it should have been 20-25% more.  The details are as under:-

• Defence Disability pension has been moved from percentage of last pay drawn to a fixed slab, which will result in a substantial reduction, for officers resulting in getting lower DP from the present. The babus are upto their DIRTY TRICKS AGAIN…
• Facility of free ration to officers in Peace Station has been withdrawn.    In terms of funds every Officers has been put to disadvantage to the tune of monthly rates of rations.
• OROP for all other Services will further downgrade Military.  Either other Services must be brought to the Terms and Conditions of Service of Defence Personnel or Defence Personnel be given same term and conditions of Service as other Services before OROP is given to all other services.

2.         Friends above disadvantages to Defence 

Forces is directly attributed to the absence of 

Military Members in the CPC.  Our Chiefs 

had strongly asked for the same which was 

notaccepted.  What a machination by the 

bureaucracy?  

3.         Our detailed comments will be info to all after the 7^th CPC Recommendation have been studied and analysed in detail in a few days’ time.

4.       We are pressing on with our Protest Movement 

at Jantar Mantar and elsewhere in the Country and 

intensifying it further to get Justice to Defence 

Fraternity.  OROP Notification of 7^th CPC needs to 

modified after removing the seven shortcomings and 

fresh Notification issued.  We have requested for 

meeting with Hon’ble Prime Minister and Raksha 

Mantri.  Hope we get it to resolve the 

shortcomings.  We are in our 159^th Day of our 

Protest Movement.

5.         Please join in the Protest Movement.  

            Hands Heads & Shoulders Together.   

   

With Regards,

Yours Sincerely,
