New Delhi: Defence Minster Manohar Parrikar
on Tuesday said that around 20 lakh pensioners have been paid the
benefits of One Rank One Pension (Orop) so far, and more than 99 percent
of cases will be settled by January-end.
"So
far, we have already paid the benefits to more than 19,70,000
pensioners. Around 68,000 pension cases were in scrutiny in December.
The targeted time schedule was end of December and 13,000 cases are sent
to pension dispersing authority," Parrikar said at a press conference.
"With that I think almost 99 percent of the eligible cases will be settled probably by January. One percent is not being able to trace them, probably dead," the minister said.
Parrikar said he has "instructed all the agencies to go and find out such cases".
"Rs 6,300 crore has already been dispersed as arrears and the current payments are ongoing for the current period. Total back arrears will be around Rs 10,800 crore of which Rs 6,300 crore has been disbursed," he said.
Orop for retired armed forces personnel was announced on 5 September, 2015.
The scheme took 2013 as the base year to calculate pensions and date of implementation was 1 July, 2014. The period for review was kept at five years.

Several RTI applications were filed to CABS but not even an acknowledgment was also not given. The benefited sailors who served 10 YEARS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL PENSION AS PER SC JUDGEMENT IN CIVIL APPEAL 2147/2011. can this forum find out the exact details of the process where it is held ? The matter is with the integrated head quarters of indian navy at new delhi. thank you

Sir. Orop is not fully implemented. Same rank same pension is not implemented in respect of below officers. When it is equated, then only we can call it orop. Therefore it is to be implemented
