    "1:2200000 RATIO" THE OROP TABLES ARE VIOLATIVE OF 07.11.2015 NOTIFICATION

    After a real long long wait the much awaited OROP tables have been released.  Let us rejoice and thank our DM for making at least this much possible.
    As expected only those who have retired in  senior ranks and after long years of service are more benefited than those who have retired early.
    This is definitely against the very spirit for which the OROP was demanded like early retirement and curtailment of PBORs pension to 50% in 1973 etc.  Anyway they are all history now and there is no point in discussing them here. However they can be taken up with the OMJC, appointed to look into the OROP anomalies.These grounds have nevertheless, served their purpose, atleast for others!.
    Now let us analyse whether we have  correctly been  given OROP as per the notification issued by the GOI on 07.11.2015? Whether the tables have been prepared on real time data of pensioners discharged/ retired in calender year 2013?
    I have my own doubts. Although initially I have also estimated the OROP exactly as per the tables notified yesterday, when I sat down to calculate it on real time basis, I have realised that my initial estimate was utterly wrong.
    Let me give an illustration of my own case. By the way I have been given to understand that  some of my veteran brothers from Army and Navy have a complaint against me that all illustrations used in my write ups are only related to group X Sgts retired from Air Force after 15 years of service. Let me clarify this for the benefit of all. I do so because that is my own data which are readily available with me and they are authentic. If I have to illustrate the cases of Army or Navy, I ought to depend on others and they are second hand data - accuracy of which cannot be verified by me. Hope now I have all your permission to illustrate my own data.
    As per the  OROP table notified on 03 Feb 2016, my OROP has been indicated as 8585/- ( GP X Sgt with 15 years of service). This means that the mean average of the minimum and maximum pension sanctioned to group X Sergeants retired after serving 15 years during the calender year 2013 is 8585/-.
    As per the information obtained under RTI by Mr. Biswas, president WB Chapter of AFVAI, the maximum pension of Sergeants retired in the year 2013 with 15 years of service is 9475/-. From this information the minimum pension can be calculated as follows:-
    8585x2=17170 (minus) 9475= 7695/-, which is the minimum pension. Incidentally, this figure is the minimum pension of a 15 years X group non - diploma sergeant, as on 01.01.2006. I am at loss to understand how can the minimum pension of 2006 be taken as the minimum pension of 2013? In all fairness both the ' minimum' and the  'maximum'  pension taken for OROP calculation should pertain to the same cut off year 2013. There is something seriously wrong and the OROP has not been calculated as per the relevant provisions of the notification dated 07.11.2015.
    Then what could be the minimum pension of the above Sgt in 2013? In order to arrive at the correct minimum pension we must go back to the year 1998 ( 2013-15= 1998) in which this Sgt was recruited as an Airman - equivalent to Sepoy in Army and Seaman in Navy. If this recruit has to become a Sgt in 2013, even in the worst scenario, he should have at least been promoted as Corporal, (equivalent to Naik of Army and Leading Seaman of Navy) in the middle of his service, say after 7 years of service (normally an airman becomes CPL in 5 years of service). Then promotion as Sgt after 14 years service. Again this is the worst possible scenario since an X group airman normally becomes Sgt in 11-12 years of service. I have taken the worst possible promotion cases so that we can calculate the REAL TIME MINIMUM MOST PENSION IN 2013 so that our calculation is realistic.
    Let us now prepare his pay chart from 1998 through 2013:
    15.01.98.
    LAC (4025-60-4925)      -4025
    01.01.05. 4025+(60×7) =4445
    (7 increments 01/99- 01/2015)
    15.01.05 Promoted as
    CPL(4150-70-5200) &
    Pay fixed at                      - 4570
    01.01.06 - 4570+(70×1) =4640
    (1 increment on 01/01/06)
    01.01.06
    6th CPC   -14440
    01.07.06 - 14820
    01.07.07 - 15210
    01.07.08 - 15610
    01.07.09 - 16020
    01.07.10 - 16440
    01.07.11 - 16880
    01.01.12 - Promo as Sgt.
    Pay fixed- 17790
    01.07.12 - 18330
    31.01.13 - DISCHARGE
    PENSION -18330 / 2= 9165/-
    So the  minimum real time pension in the worst promotion case as above is 9165/- and NOT 7695/- taken by the MOD while preparing the table. The data would be the same in Army and Navy as well.
    The OROP then in the ABOVE case should be:
    9475+9165= 18640/2= 9320/-
    So the official figure is less by 9320-8585= 735/ per month in Basic Pension. When the classification pay is included the above figure could be marginally higher.
    I hope that I made myself clear. We have indeed been taken for a ride. The ratio of 1:2200000 continues  to play an adverse  role in our cases. The OROP table notified is an attempt to save approx. 4000 crores to the exchequer by tweaking the figure of  minimum pension. This is a shameful attempt to exploit our ignorance and disciplined behaviour.
    If some people can independently verify  the above calculation, then AFVAI will be able to  take it up with the one man judicial commission (OMJC) already appointed by the GOI, for necessary correction. We can also confirm the correctness of the above calculation and expose this unscrupulous design by asking for details of the  minimum pension earned by an X group Sgt with 15 years of service, retired in the calendar year 2013.

    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  .

    "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.
