      1. Just refer to your pension as per the PCDA (P) Circular 500/501, identify your scale of pension and the maximum in that rank corresponding. The difference added with the DR from 01-01-2006 till the day 30-06-2014, (day preceding the OROP implementation day 01-07-2014) will be your arrears. Sit down a do a bit of arithmetic calculations. All the best.

    8. Dear veterans (jcos&ors),pl.do not get confused.for your arrears and start day dreaming.circular 501 is based on maximum notional pension not on minimum of pay in pay band.only offrs stand to gain as circular 500 is based on minimum pay in pay band.poor ors already in very low minimum scales will hardly get peanuts if cunning MOD and pcda again apply circular 547 for jcos and ors.wait till a fresh circular issued by pcda
      Order issued clearly reads as 50% of the minimum pay in payband+ gradepay corresponding thereon.
      I sincerely hope that a better sense prevails this time on babu's of MOD and they issue circular taking circular 501 as base for jcos and ors as these neglected veterans hardly get 38 to 40% of their last pay
