Grievance Description	:	Ref: NFOESM/7th PAY/109/2016 Dated: 02/09/2016 Shri. Narendra Modi, Hon. Prime Minister of India Dear Sir, It has been brought to our notice by the print media that the implementation of 7th CPC benefits to soldiers are held up due to the objection raised by the three chiefs of Armed forces. The objections are reported to have been in respect of higher pay for officer’s equivalent to their counter parts in civil. Along with this they have also recommended for a little increase in Military service pay for JCO’S only leaving behind a large section of OR’s to reduce the outgo by which their demand can be accepted without any objection by the exchequer . This is nothing but a bargaining better pay for officers only using the entire soldiers as shield. The chiefs are officers who have taken pledge to look after the welfare of those who placed below them above their own interest. The hike in Military service pay for JCO’S only as reported to have been recommended by them is likely to cause discontent among the OR’S. We are not against officers getting higher pay equivalent to their counterparts in civil it is a legitimate demand but it should not be at the cost of poor soldiers by asking them to shut their mouth. We request your god office to study the case before taking a final decision on the recommendation of Chiefs enhance the Military service pay of entire OR’s JCO’s equivalent to Nursing officers who are less exposed to risk than soldiers who are very much exposed to danger to their life in battle field, living conditions in high altitude like Siachen, in fighting cross border terrorism in times of natural calamities Thanking you MBC MENON CHAIRMAN NATIONAL FEDERATION OF EX-SERVICEMEN E-MAIL: nfoesm@gmail.com CC to: Shri.Manohar Parikkar, Hon:Defence Minister of India
