Defence Minister Manohar
Parrikar on Friday said that 'one-rank one-pension' policy would be implemented
in the defence forces before the next budget.
"One-man one-pension policy
will be implemented. We are right now working on its detailing," Parrikar
said. The implementation has lot of financial implications which are being
worked out, he said.
"It has lot of financial
implications. Details would be available only once we work it out,"
Parrikar said.
'One-rank, one-pension' policy
means soldiers of the same rank and same length of service get the same pension
irrespective of their retirement date. Parrikar said the announcement to
implement the policy was made in the last budget.
"Now we will have to
implement it. I have kept a target that it will be implemented before the next
budget. My effort is to ensure that it should be implemented as soon as
possible. My target is that it should not wait for the next budget," he
said.
