    OROP struggle looks nearing end

    The Indian Ex-Servicemen’s Movement (IESM) spearheading the veterans’ one rank, one pension (OROP) demand has correctly applied three of the principles of war albeit in a peaceful struggle, namely maintenance of aim and momentum and concentration of force to set themselves on the road to what could be a victory. The timing of their rally in New Delhi pushed all the right buttons forcing the govt to act. It’s now up to politicians to show some decisive will.The rally itself was attended by 10,000 determined veterans and included war widows. Defence minister Manohar Parrikar invited a delegation of the IESM for discussions even as the rally was underway. 

    He assured them that the proposal to implement OROP would be despatched to the finance ministry by February 17 (it has been delayed till the 23rd). In the proposal, there would be no dilution of the OROP, which would be as per the definition approved by Parliament. This is welcome news considering all the confusion created by ministers’ ill-considered statements. General Satbir Singh, chairman and members of the IESM, can rightly claim this as a victory.
    In addition, the military pension would be treated as a special pension, different from others, because of the hardships innate in a career in the defence services. Another decision communicated to the veterans was that in cases of personnel of the same seniority being promoted at different times, the highest pension of that year of that rank would be granted. Also, OROP equalization will be done annually. Lastly, the OROP would be applicable with effect from April 1, 2014, irrespective of the date the government letter is issued. Now, we await budgetary provisions. This is not the end, however, and veterans need to keep their powder dry.

    1. Preserving 'x' and 'y' group amongst service personnel (pbors) again while implementing one rank one pension will inevitably invite another litigation. No body can even dream such classifications amongst officers of flying/non-flying and or technical / non-technical branches. This ploy of classification even after retirement precludes the spirit of orop as framed by Koshiari Commitment as well as verdict given by none other than Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

      1. Sir, As group X and Y still exist in Military service hence can not be ignored while calculating ORPO by considering all ex-serviceman pension in group X and more over OROP can be hardly equated for past and future up gradation of pension Thanks -JCR

    5. Categories of gp x y must be dispensed with in terms of the quoted verbatim of orop.

    6. The main problem with grouping in orop is every year the difference in both the groups will widen as now group x pay is part of pay which also counts for annual increment of 3%. Earlier, the pay scales for both groups were distinct but used to remain fixed up to next pay commission.
