Tribune News Service
A delegation of retired Army officers, led by Congress MP Partap Singh Bajwa, called upon Defence Minister AK Antony and, besides various issues, discussed the implementation of one rank one pension (OROP) scheme with him.
While pointing out that even the Parliament's Standing Committee on Defence had validated the OROP, the delegation sought Antony's intervention for its early implementation.
Bajwa said the Armed Forces Tribunal, in the cases of Babu Ram Dhiman versus Union of India and Sohan Singh versus Union of India, had held that the grant of unequal pay in the same rank was a violation of the principles of equality enshrined in the Article 14 of the Constitution. The Tribunal ruled that the state could not lay down different criteria for grant of pension for the same rank of officers on the basis of cut-off date of retirement.
Stressing upon the need to do justice to ex-servicemen without comparing them with their civilian counterparts as the two were not comparable, be it in terms of service conditions or the risk that they face, Bajwa urged Antony to de-link the civilian pay from that of the personnel of the armed forces.
The ex-servicemen also sought establishment of a National Commission for Military Veteran Affairs on the lines of the Minority Commission as well as nomination of military veterans to the Rajya Sabha, treating widows at par with other military pensioners for the purpose of enhancement of pension and related issues, increasing quota for youth in armed forces from border districts, particularly in Punjab, ensuring equitable representation of ex-servicemen in all Central boards, corporations and PSU's and using the skills of ex-servicemen in training and raising battalions of national disaster relief and environment protection forces were other issues raised by the delegation.
Sir, It is observed that OROP has been implemented for personnel who took discharge from service after completion 0f 29 years but it is not followed in case of those personnel who took discharge after 20 years whereas the condtion of 29 years of service has been removed for all who served 20 years . Such personnel also should get the same formulae to reach the improved pattern of pension. Example : Maximum basic after 29 years of service for JWO of X group 8290x1.86=15420 + grade pay 4200+2000 MSP+ 1400 Group Pay=23020 50% of it Rs 11510/ same shown in table revised in Jul 2009 WO of X group 9790x1.86=18210+ 4600G.P +2000MSP +1400 =221010 50% of it Rs 13105but in case of 21 years JWO of X group must be 3266*2=6532*1.86=12150+4200 GP +2000MSP+1400 GP=Rs 19750 50% of it is Rs 9875 but in improved pattern shown 9069. It is not understood.
ReplyDeleteIt is not understood that why calculate 3266 into 2 and then into 1.86 ? OROP is not given to PBORs in the ranks of SGT and JWO tilldate.

The pension for officers pre 1-6-2006 of had been calculated with formula of (Basic pay 5th Pay Panel x 1.86+ Grade payy+mil Service Pay) divided by Two. But this formula is not implemented for Hony officer.as per Above formula Hony Capt should get 10800x1.86+6000+6000= Rs32088/ and pension will be Rs16044/ whre he is getting 13800. Similarly for Hony Lt will get Rs 15465?- as per formula but getting 13500 only. Why hony officer are discriminated.even though the AFT Chandigarh had given verdict in favviour of Hony officer

3.As per ARMY pension regulation Part-I 1961;- Gratuity is an kind of pension but officers Honorably released\discharged with Gratuity from TERRITORIAL ARMY are excluded from Ex-servicemen definition without any valued reason thus are deprived of all prevailing beneficial scheme of center & state Govt & virtually NO helpful policy subsist for honorably released Territorial Army Officers being deprived of EXSERVICEMAN status

ReplyDeletestatus to TERRITORIAL ARMY. personnel
\
The bullets come out of the Guns of enemies have no discrimination
between soliders of INDIAN Army or Territorial army when it hit. But
when the question of granting benefits comes, TA personnel are treated
as part time soldiers

authority--Defense service REGULATIONS for the ARMY
Denial of ARMED FORCES VETERANS EX SERVICEMAN) status to
TERRITORIAL ARMY. personnelsi
Ex-Servicemen Status:-
As per the definition of Ex-Servicemen, ‘all persons who served in any
of the Armed Forces of the Union of India at least for a period of
five years and discharged by way other than dismissal are termed as
‘Ex-Servicemen’.
1.TA personnel men are equally capable in performing any kind of duty
or at times even more flexible than the jawans of any elite wing of
regular army –i.e. Indian Army or any other army,
2.the difference lies in the way they are handled at training, during
their embodiment , the clarity of duty and dedication and expertise
specially at the Jr. Command level. And It will not be exaggerated to
say that the TA personnel are really praiseworthy specially keeping
TERRITORIAL ARMY being integral component of INDAIAN ARMY
2.should be given status of ARMED FORCES VETERANS EX SERVICEMAN) on
the expiry of their honorable services for having earned regular
pay-scales ,Promotion, , and all other service benefits in
appropriate scale and the benefit of promotion with due regard to
their length of service.
3.Their pay scales are exactly in conformity with that of the
pay-scales of their counterparts in INDIAN ARMY
4. Soldiers of volunteer citizen army are Entitled to be equally
treated and all the benefits as were conferred and enjoyed by the
Indian army soldiers should be extended to them as well.
A.important to mention --
Legitimately there exist no difference between Honorably
released\discharged Territorial Army officers with Gratuity &
Officers court marshaled, Disgraced \cashiered & Discharged on other
disciplinary grounds from Indian Armed forces as both are denied of
Ex-Service men \ armed forces veterans status and ensuing benefits
B. Officers in the TERRITORIAL ARMY are holding commission, granted by
the president of INDIA with designation of Rank corresponding to those
of Indian commissioned officers of the regular Army , Granted Gratuity
on their honorable retirement\ Discharge\Release after 05 years of
aggregate embodied service / or 10 years of commissioned service

TERRITORIAL ARMY are excluded from consideration as
Ex-servicemen without any valued reason
E .Honorably retired officers of TERRITORIAL ARMY are awarded
Gratuity at par with All retirees of Indian Armed forces & constitute
one class of Ex serviceman.
It is not LEGAL to single out certain persons of the same class for
differential treatment. Denial of Ex-Service men status and ensuing
benefits had produced a class within a class without rational basis
amongst ALL honorably retired officers.

ReplyDeleteThis matter pertains to a Defence Family & we solicit your kind cooperation in bringing this news before the press / media, so that it reaches the common man. Corruption in India is at its peak. Amardeep, an employee of Legal Department of M/s. LANCO, Gurgaon & others cheated, Cantonment Board, by providing fake details, regarding Late Kamla Kumari’s death, & not submitting Death Certificate issued by SGPIMS, Lucknow to them. Cantt. Board, Allahabad issued to Amardeep Jaiswal & others a fake Death Certificate, without probing the truth, & closed their eyes deliberately, for pecuniary benefits. In the Death Certificate they should have stated the place of death as Lucknow & not Allahabad & the truth is that she was in a highly precarious state & was in coma since a few days & died on 3/2/96, at 1.30 pm at the SGPGIMS, Lucknow, as per its Death Certificate re-issued on 30/06/2000. Forged Death Certificate issued by Cantt. Board, Allahabad, is being misused for fraudulent land deals, for substitution of names in place of late K.K. Jaiswal, for transfer of lease renewal deed & mutation, for 2 & 3, Cassels Road, New Cantt., Allahabad & must be cancelled at once. Action should be taken against them for cheating Cantt. Board. Thereafter they started grabbing Army Land illegally & for these irregularities, Cantt. Board / D.E.O., Allahabad are fully responsible.

Respected Sir/Madam,
ReplyDeleteAmended fresh request for necessary amendment in OROP table for justice with Honorary Naib Subedar of Y Group is forwarded. This is for your information and further necessary favourable action please .
With reference the table No 7 of circular No 555 dated 04 February 2016.
I 2879637W Honorary Naib Subedar Vijai Kumar have served in Army 24 Years & 02 days. My service particular's is as under -
Date of enrolment - 30 October 1982.
Date of retirement - 31 October 2006 (A/N).
Date of birth - 25 April 1962.
PPO No - S/29763/2006 (ARMY)
Basic Pension as per 6 CPC - Rs 7750/-
Revised Basic Pension on acceptance of OROP - Rs 8425/-
It is observed that pension of X group Honorary Naib Subedar & Naib Subedar of 24 years service is equal i.e. Rs 11138/- as per table No 7 of circular No 555 dated 04 February 2016. But basic pension of Y group Honorary Naib Subedar & Naib Subedar of 24 years service is different. 24 years service of Naib Subedar basic pension is more than Honorary Naib Subedar of 24 years service & this diffrence between Honorary Naib Subedar& Naib Subedar of 24 years service is Rs 1004. In this circular in table No 7 Y group Honorary Naib Subedar basic pension is Rs 8425 & 24 years service of Naib Subedar basic pension is Rs 9424. It should be equal as OROP as implemented for X group 24 years service of Honorary Naib Subedar & 24 years service of Naib Subedar basic pension are equal.
Hony Rank of Naib Subedar granted to Havildar will be notionally considered as a promotion to the higher grade pay and will be allowed notionally for the purpose of fixation of pension only with effect 01 January 2006. The said decision has been communicated vide Ministry of Defence letter No. 1(8)/2008-D(Pay/Policy) dated 12 June 2009.
On the definition of OROP (Definition of One Rank One Pension - One Rank One Pension (OROP) implies that uniform pension be paid to the Armed Forces Personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service irrespective of their date of retirement and any future enhancement in the rates of pension to be automatically passed on to the past pensioners. This implies bridging the gap between the rate of pension of the current pensioners and the past pensioners, and also future enhancements in the rate of pension to be automatically passed on to the past pensioners.) and government of India Ministry of Defence letter No. 1(8)/2008-D(Pay/Policy) dated 12 June 2009 pension of Honorary Naib Subedar & Naib Subedar should be equal in the same length of service.
Keeping view of the above and as mentioned table No 7 of circular No 555 dated 04 February 2016 for 24 years service of X group Naib Subedar & Honorary Naib Subedar basic pension has fixed at same rate or equal, so Y group 24 service of Honorary Naib Subedar & Naib Subedar basic pension should also be fixed at same rate or equal. Please consider it.
Please do the needful for necessary amendment or issue related instructions for rectify the observations or veriable. An early action is requested.
I shall be highly obliged.
Thanking you with warm regards,
Yours obediently soldier,
Honorary Naib Subedar Vijai Kumar
