Fwd: "UPDATE OROP - 15 JAN 2015"

[kamu1932]

KITE  FLYING !

 One thing I can't understand --pension is calculated on the emoluments drawn at the time of retirement. After VI CPC 33 years  of service for full pension has been done away with--pension is based on the last pay / emoluments drawn--average of last 10 months emoluments is no more in vogue.

An individual who serves for a longer time in a rank gets increments and his emoluments would be higher than an individual who serves in that rank for a lesser period, as the former got the rank earlier than the latter, but both have the same length of total service. If the pension of both is the same, why should a chap continue to serve longer in that rank instead of taking premature retirement and utilise the time /age gained by it for some other occupation and earn  some amount  in addition to the pension?  Further, would it not be injustice to a chap who served longer in the rank being equated with a chap serving for a lesser period in that rank ? 

 

I may be considered by all the OROP Pundits to be off the mark / gone berserk by such thoughts -- but the definition of same length of service originated when all the modifications in the pension calculations were brought in by successive pay commissions did not exist ! Any way, whatever the mode of calculation is finalised still there will be persons who would not be satisfied due to differing individual situations.

Hopefully Republic day will bring us the much awaited OROP .

> The basic modalities remain (1) same rank, same years of total service, same pension, (2) commencement date of OROP is 1.4.2014 i.e pension drawn by officers retiring on that date and (3) increase of pension on the basis of what would be drawn in future by officers under (1).

> It appears CGDA has used statistics to impress up on the Ministers that calculations were made on the basis of taking maximum service and maximum pay to arrive at the pension. For example - the largest number of officers entitled to pensions are in the Lt Col & Col ranks and for ORs in the Havildar rank. If, presumably, CGDA  decided Rs 38000 for 31 years for all Lt Cols and Cols and a similar (but not same) figure for Havildars, the inflated figure would be Rs 9300 crores (some reports state Rs 14, 300 crores).
>
> The next area (of contention?) is that of OROP be determined by years of service in the rank at the time of retirement. It appears the CGDA and/or FA (DS) have ignored two fundamental facts -
>
> (1) the basis for pensions since independence has been rank and total years of service at the time of retirement. If proof be needed, the CGDA/FA (DS) may wish to look at not only the PPOs of the Defence Services but also their own PPOs.
>
> (2) If two officers have the same rank, and similar years of service, they should get the same amount of pension. Any other "modality" would no longer qualify as "One Rank One Pension."
>
> Hopefully, the Defence Minister and RRM will heed the facts as they are instead of being over-awed by the "statistics"provided by CGDA/ FA (DS).   
>
> Another bogey that the "babus" appear to have shown to the Defence Minister is about civilians too wanting OROP. It brings to mind a similar silly statement - Remember Shri P S Walia, then US in MoD - D (Pay/Services) averring in an affidavit that if Rank Pay was given to entitled Defence Forces officers, the civilians would ask for it too? Well, the Apex Court passed its orders on 03 Sep 2012,  and............
