OROP HIGH LIGHTS & CALCULATION

1.Applicable to all pre-1/7/2014 retirees.

.2. Effective date : Wef 1/7/2014

.3. It is a direct executive order from MOD to PDAs(Banks) for payment without waiting for Draupadi's circular of  PCDA(pensions) . Means ,payment will be effected before 28 Feb 2016 (being the last pension/salary payment month in this fiscal year).

.4. Family pensioners , gallantary award winners and special pension category will get their arrears in one instalment and hopefully with Feb pension.

.5.Arrears for others would be in 4 Equal , six monthly instalments (could be in Feb , Aug  this year and Feb 2017  and Aug 2017).

More specific details after detailed analyses.

------------------------------------------------------------------

OROP Arrear calculation  Made simple

.1. Take your  basic from  OROP table published to day by MOD. Let it be  =X

>

.2. Take your current basic (which is wef 24/12/2012).Let it be =Y

.3. Take the difference of X- Y above and  let it be ="Q"

.4. Your  Total arrears of OROP wef 1/7/2014 to 31/1/2016= Q x  40.58 (amount Q multiplied by 40.58). The result could be  with a deviation of  Less than Rs 100/- in total due to certain approximations

Note : multiply  with 40.58 , the difference of  OROP table amount with what is your current basic  .

OROP CHART PUBLISHED

"1:2200000 RATIO" LIKELY CALCULATION OF OROP & ARREARS

    OROP notification dated 07.11.2015 stipulate that
1. To begin with, pension of the past pensioners would be re-fixed on the basis of pension of retirees of calendar year 2013 and the benefit will be effective with effect from 1.7.2014.
 2.Pension will be re-fixed for all pensioners on the basis of the average of minimum and maximum pension of personnel retiring in 2013 in the same rank and with the same length of service.
3.Pension for those drawing above the average shall be protected. 

So the 'minimum' and 'maximum' pension sanctioned in the calender year 2013 to each rank with same length of service are critical to calculate the OROP.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE MINIMUM & MAXIMUM PENSION?

I will make an attempt to calculate them on real time basis by an illustration of eight (A - H) X Group Havildar/Petty Officer/Sergeant with 15 years of service whose service particulars ar as given below:-

01.03.12 - promotion as Sgt - 17730
01.07.12 - 18210
31.01.13 - DISCHARGE
PENSION -18210/2= 9105/-

Therefore the average between 'minimum' and 'maximum'
could be the following :-
(9305+9290+9285+9275+9270+9265+9255+9105) = 74050/8 = 9256/-

The classification pay if added could increase the average marginally. We can therefore safely conclude the OROP of a Group X
Hav/PO/Sgt with 15 years of  service will be approximately 9250/- plus/minus 50/-.

A difference of 9250 - 6374 =
2876/-  in Basic Pension.

Arrears incl. DR receivable for 18 months from 01.07.14 to 31.12.15
2876 × 38.34 = 110266/-.
Arrears per instalment -110266/4 = 27567/-
Pension from 01.01.2016 with 119% DR will be - 20258/-

CAUTION: Errors and omissions expected in the above calculations.
This is just an attempt to calculate OROP.
The real time data could be different.
We need to wait for the official charts to be notified by CGDA/PCDA.

Under the RTI Act the CPIO is required to provide only the information which is available with him/her in the material form. The order of Hon'ble CAT in O. A. No.715/2012 had been implemented in respect of the petitioners in that O.A. even before the dismissal of the Review Petition by Hon'ble Supreme Court. 

The question of implementation of the orders in respect of Pre-2006 pensioners has been under consideration in consultation with the concerned Ministries/ Departments i.e. Ministry of Law, Department of Legal Affairs and Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure and the file has been referred to Department of Legal Affairs on 30.12.2015. 

Thus the information given by the CPIO was correct.
In case you are not satisfied with this order, you may appeal against the decision to the Central Information Commission within 90 days, as per the RTI Act.

CLARIFICATION REGARDING GRATUITY TO PRE-1996

No. 38/42/2005-P&PW (F)

Government of India

Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pensions

Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare

3^rd Floor, Loknayak Bhawan

New Delhi-110003

Dated 17^th February 2005

               Office Memorandum

Subject:           Payment of difference of Gratuity to pre-1996 Central Government Pensioners - clarification regarding.

             The undersigned is directed to say that a number of representations have been received seeking confirmation whether in pursuance of Supreme Court Judgement, vide this Department's OM No. 45/86/97-P&PW (A) Pt. I dated 04.12.2004; pre-1996 pensioners have been made eligible for receiving additional gratuity. They have asked the concerned pensioners to apply to their respective Departments by furnishing details of PPO number, date of retirement, Bank details etc. It also contains a portion of the OM purported to have been issued by this Department but does not indicate the name of Officer under whose signature it has been issued.

2.         In view of the above, the factual position in the matter is as under:

(i)         This Department has not issued any OM on 4.12.2004 granting additional gratuity to pre-1996 pensioners as there is no such Supreme Court Judgement in that respect; and

(ii)        The extracts of OM reproduced by them purported to have been issued on 4.12.2004 is in fact a portion of this Department's OM dated 4.12.2001 bringing out certain modifications to OM dated 27.10.1997. In that OM, the Government consequent upon acceptance of the 5^th Pay Commission recommendations, inter-alia, prescribed that 100% of DA be added to the pay and on this the retirement/death gratuity be calculated. This was made effective from 1.1.1996. It did not change any provisions regarding percentage on DA for those who retired before 1.1.1996. Vide OM dated 4.12.2001 the Government clarified that the addition to DA for calculation of gratuity would be applicable for calculation of all types of gratuities like death/ retirement/ service gratuity. In this OM also there is no change in other provisions of OM dated 27.10.1997 including the cut-off date of 1.1.1996. This was further clarified vide para (ii) of OM dated 18.2.2003. Hence, prior to 1.1.1996, only basic pay was reckoned as emoluments for computation of gratuity. It has not been agreed to extend the benefits to retirees prior to 1.1.1996 as for grant of any benefit, prescription of a cut-off-date is essential keeping in view various constraints including financial constraints.

LETTER SENT TO SERVICE CHIEFS & DM BY VOP

Dear Sir/Madam,

NJUSTICE DONE TO MIDDLE RANKS OF PBOR IN DEFENCE FORCES BY 6th CPC

Havildars in ARMY, Sergeants in IAF, Petty officers  in NAVY  who were placed in the 5000 scale by 5th CPC was put in the PB-1 scale by 6TH CPC in the name of merger of lower posts and the government did not  intervened to improve it as done in case of HAG scale of central govt employees.The SHQ being the sole stake holder on behalf of PBOR did not raise any objection to this unlike civilian counter parts. All central govt employees except defence forces who where placed in the basic scale of 5000 by 5th CPC was brought in to PB-2 by 6th CPC .This is a clear case of discrimination against the middle ranks in the PBOR of defence forces and this anomaly should be rectified when the cabinet gives it approval to  7th CPC recommendations .We suggest an alternate solution to this anomaly by abolishing the Rank of HAV(Hav & equivalents) & merging it with Nb Sub.(Nb Sub & equivalents)

With Regards,

End impasse on OROP, Jethmalani tells Parrikar

 

 National

NEW DELHI, December 25, 2015

Updated: December 25, 2015 00:02 IST

BJP’s pledge before polls is now being ‘dishonestly repudiated’, says letter to Defence Minister

Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, in a strongly worded letter to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, asked him to use his good offices with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end the impasse on the issue of One Rank, One Pension (OROP).

A former BJP leader, Mr. Jethmalani has of late become a fierce critic of the Modi government and is also legally representing the protesting ex-servicemen.

“The Hon’ble Prime Minister’s only excuse for non-compliance of the promise repeatedly made by Shri Modiji during the campaign is that he had not understood the financial implications of the proposal. This is not what one expects from the Prime Minister,” Mr. Jethmalani said in the letter written on Wednesday.

This excuse he noted was unjust and totally irrelevant and did no credit to the government. “This is worse than your party president’s excuse for not fulfilling the black money pledge by calling it an election joke (jumla),” he said referring to BJP president Amit Shah’s remarks early this year that the promise to deposit Rs. 15 lakh in everyone’s account from black money brought back to the country was a “political jumla”.

“You are one of the few Ministers for whom I have great respect and that alone induces me to write this to you,” Mr. Jethmalani said. He cautioned Mr. Parrikar that “there is some misunderstanding being created by some in your own party who want ‘a Bihar’ to be repeated in other States.”

Observing that the OROP has been a “solemn promise” repeatedly made by the BJP during the last election campaign, Mr. Jethmalani said this binding pledge was now being “dishonestly repudiated” and cautioned that jawans were not going to accept a clear violation of the solemn promises made to them.

Requesting Mr. Parrikar to “apply your mind to this serious matter” Mr. Jethmalani said he could personally attend the meeting “if one takes place to sort this out”.

The government, on November 7, had issued the notification for implementing the OROP. However, the veterans rejected it saying that it diluted the OROP as promised by the government and as accepted by the Parliament.

The major issues of disagreement are the issue of premature retirement (PMR) and pension equalisation. The notification stated that “those opting for the PMR henceforth on their own accord will not be eligible for the OROP” which caused major concern among the serving community. In addition veterans have been demanding annual equalisation of pension as against five years proposed by the government, which is against the spirit of the OROP.t

MILITARY SERVICE PAY (MSP)  A  HYPOTHETICAL  3D PROJECTION

TO DEPRIVE PARITY WITH CIVILIAN COUNTERPARTS BY WINDOW DRESSING

The MSP element of a soldier is very cleverly structured  & arranged by the 7^th CPC comprised of Babus to deprive the soldiers of the parity with their civilian counter parts, they have calculated at the parity in the pay scale of soldiers ranks with civil post including the MSP .

The analogy & grant of MSP to a soldier is due to the following reasons.

1)  The hazardous working condition of soldiers, including war, war like situation, insurgency operation, Pledged  to sacrifice life in defending nation & living in adverse climatic conditions.

2)Performs  24 hrs duty in comparison with civilian who works for 8 hrs a day & 5 days in a week.The civilian employee Draws overtime allowance beyond that, Most of the Soldiers are staying away from their family & children in forward areas depriving of family life

3)  The soldiers have given an undertaking to serve safe guard the country for a specific period of time surrendering their fundamental rights unlike civilian counterparts who have trade union & right to strike.

Hence this is an additional benefit granted to soldiers only due to unique working environment & it is in addition to parity with civilian counterparts but not inclusive.

 Further the element of MSP is given to soldiers in such a way to discriminate the JCO/OR who constitute a major chunk of armed forces.If we take an example of an infantry division, the real threat to life is more for JCO/OR who is in the forefront of war field & a mere MSP of Rs 5200/is recommended for them.In short lives of different categories are differently valued.

An MSP of Rs 10500 is recommended for MNS who have less threat to life  & working in hospitals in much better conditions.

An MSP of Rs 15000 is recommended for commissioned officers.

 It is to be noted that life is invaluable to everyone & discriminatory treatment in this regard is highly inhuman.

 Let us hope that some sense of humanity will prevail on the political junta to do away with this inhuman treatment given to soldiers of the country by bureaucracy.
