Here is an response from the writer:

"The Defence Ministry has in a high-level meeting with the Finance Ministry recently raised the bill for the implementation of the One Rank One Pension scheme. The Finance Ministry gives the money to the Defence Ministry for the implementation. The actual disbursement of the money comes under the Defence Ministry. The story doesn't say that the money has been disbursed to pensioners. It says that the bill for the payments has been raised with the Finance Ministry. 

Guess- The reader can be reassured now the money has been claimed by the Defence Ministry it will be disbursed too soon i hope."

Warm regards,
