Let veterans prove OROP stir is not politically motivated, says Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar
Terming the attempts by war veterans to burn medals as an insult to the nation and armed forces, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday said it was for protesting ex-service personnel to prove there was no political motive behind the OROP stir.
"If I say something, it will become an allegation. Let them prove that it is not political," he told reporters in Arakkonam when asked if he saw a political link to continuing agitation despite the government's response and notification on one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme.
"Medals are a recognition of the nation for the sacrifice done by the armed forces," he said in reply to another query.

Seventh Pay Commission: President Salary To Bar Bureaucrats’ Pay Hikes
New Delhi: The Seventh pay commission is likely to recommend fixing the highest basic salary at Rs 180,000, while the current salary of the President is Rs 150,000 per month, which will come as a bar for top bureaucrats pay hikes in the Seventh Pay Commission.
The current salary of the President Pranab Mukherjee is Rs 150,000 per month.
This is because bureaucrats can surely not cross the presidential salary since government officers serve on presidential pleasure; their salary cannot exceed that of the occupant of Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Not All Demands Can Be Fulfilled: Parrikar On OROP Scheme
New Delhi: With the protesting ex-servicemen dissatisfied with the formal notification of one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said that everyone has a right to make a demand in democracy but not all demands can be fulfilled.
“Even if all demands are satifisfied, someone will ask for something else,” Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi.
Underlining that the “maximum” demands of the veterans have been fulfilled, he said the judicial commission that will be set up, will look into the “problems”.
Behaviour Of Protesting Ex-Servicemen Unlike That Of Soldier: Parrikar
Vasco Da Gama: The behaviour of ex-servicemen protesting the notification on OROP scheme is “unlike that of a soldier” and they have been misguided, India’s Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday, a day after the war veterans decided to return their medals
He termed one rank, one pension (OROP) decision as his biggest achievement in the last one year and said it was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government that had finalised the measure.
“This is unlike a soldier. Whoever are still protesting despite the announcement are being misguided,” he said

In One Rank One Pension Rs.8000 Crore Diwal Gift for Veterans-NDTV
NEW DELHI: Over 25 lakh veterans across the country will get at least Rs. 3,000 to 5,000 more in pensions – depending on their last rank and years of service. And this will cost the exchequer a minimum of Rs. 8,000 crore to start with.
The increased pension will be paid with effect from July 1, 2014.
The Government today issued the much awaited One Rank One Pension or OROP scheme. Although, a formal announcement on OROP was made on September 5, no official order was issued because of Bihar elections and the Election Commission’s Model Code of Conduct.
Serving officers upset about the norm that personnel opting out of service are not eligible for OROP
Even as ex-servicemen’s organisations rejected the official notification for implementing the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, serving officers have expressed concern that the norm on Premature Retirement (PMR) goes against the efforts of the government over the last two decades to lower the age of Commanding Officers and increase promotion rate with more vacancies being created in the process.

OROP: Ex-servicemen to return medals from today
NEW DELHI: The ex-servicemen will start returning their medals from today to protest the government notification on the implementation of One Rank, One Pension, which they have rejected.
"The notification that the government has issued completely murders the definition of OROP. In OROP's definition, a senior will never get less pension than a junior. In the government's notification, a senior got less pension than a junior. We reject this completely," Group Captain V K Gandhi (retd), general secretary of Indian Ex-servicemen Movement ( IESM) told ANI.
OROP: IESM accuses Parrikar of turning back on assurance
The chairman of Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement, Major General (Retd.) Satbir Singh, on Monday dubbed Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s recent remark on the implementation of One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme as extremely unfortunate and accused him of turning back on his assurance.
“The statement by the Defence Minister is an unfortunate one. He is turning back on his assurance given to us. The notification given is not ‘One Rank, One Pension’; it is ‘One Rank, Many Pension’. It is such a saddening matter that Defence Minister told us one thing and now under the influence of ‘Babus’ he is saying something else. We oppose this statement and reject it,” Major General (Retd.) Singh told ANI.

वन रैंक वन पेंशन लागू, जानिए OROP के बारे में
पूर्व सैनिकों दिवाली का तोहफा देते हुए केंद्र सरकार ने वन रैंक वन पेंशन की अधिसूचना शनिवार रात को जारी कर दी। इससे देश भर के लाखों पेंशन पाने वाले पूर्व सैनिकों को लाभ होगा। केंद्र सरकार ने पांच सितंबर को ओआरओपी की मांग को स्वीकार करने की घोषणा की थी। पर इसकी अधिसूचना जारी नहीं हुई थी। सरकार ने विलंब का कारण बिहार विधान सभा चुनाव के कारण लागू आचार संहिता को बताया था। केंद्र सरकार ने ओआरओपी का ऐलान ऐसे समय में किया है जब आंदोलनरत पूर्व सैनिकों से नौ नवंबर से देश भर में अपने मेडल लौटाने का ऐलान किया था। इससे पहले रक्षा मंत्री ने संकेत दिया था कि सरकार पूर्व सैनिकों की बहुप्रतीक्षित मांग पर सोमवार से पहले अधिसूचना जारी कर देगी।
ओआरओपी
- 25 लाख पूर्व सैनिकों को मिलेगा ओआरओपी का लाभ
- 10,000 करोड़ तक का अतिरिक्त बोझ बढ़ सकता है सरकार पर ओआरओपी से
- 145 दिनों से पूर्व सैनिक दिल्ली के जंतर-मंतर और देश भर में विरोध प्रदर्शन कर रहे थे।
- 09 एवं 10 नवंबर को अपने पदक जिलाधिकारियों को लौटाने का भी ऐलान किया था पूर्व सैनिकों ने
- 40 सालों से पूर्व सैनिक वन रैंक वन पेंशन की मांग कर रहे हैं।
1 जुलाई, 2014 से मिलेगा लाभ
>2013 को बेस ईयर माना गया है। यानी कैलेंडर वर्ष 2013 के आधार पर पूर्व सैनिकों की पेंशन तय की जाएगी।
>रैंक और सेवा अवधि एक हुई तो पेंशन 2013 में रिटायर सैनिकों की पेंशन के औसत के बराबर होगी। जिसे औसत से ज्यादा मिल रही है, उसे मिलती रहेगी।
>एरियर्स 6-6 महीने में चार किस्तों में देंगे। लेकिन सैनिक के आश्रित परिवार, बहादुरी पुरस्कार से सम्मानित पूर्व सैनिकों को एक ही किस्त में।
>भविष्य में पूर्व सैनिकों की पेंशन हर 5 साल में तय होगी।
>7 नवंबर 2015 के बाद खुद रिटायरमेंट लेने वाले सैनिकों को ओआरओपी का लाभ नहीं मिल सकेगा।
>ओआरओपी लागू करने में कोई विसंगति रह जाती है, तो उसका पता लगाकर दूर करने के लिए न्यायिक समिति बनाई जाएगी। समिति 6 महीने में रिपोर्ट देगी।

HIGHLIGHTS - Notification for Implementation of OROP Issued
The Government today issued the notification regarding implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ in respect of Defence Forces personnel.
Defence Forces of India have a rich history and tradition of bravery and gallantry. Defence forces have not only defend our borders with exemplary courage and valour but have also performed with fearless attitude and empathy in natural calamities and other trying circumstances. Government of India recognizes and respects their contribution.
The issue of One Rank One Pension was a long standing demand. Defence Forces had been demanding it for almost four decades but the issue could not be resolved. However, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had made a commitment to implement it for the welfare of the ex-servicemen. Accordingly the Government had announced modalities for implementation of OROP on 05.09.2015. The Government Order by Ministry of Defence, which could not be issued due to model code of conduct, has been issued today.
Salient features of the OROP as stated in the Order are as follows:
I. 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.
II. 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.
III. Pension for those drawing above the average shall be protected.
IV. Arrears will be paid in four equal half yearly instalments. However, all the family pensioners, including those in receipt of Special/Liberalized family pensioners, and Gallantry award winners shall be paid arrears in one instalment.
V. In future, the pension would be re-fixed every 5 years.
4. Personnel who opt to get discharged henceforth on their own request under Rule 13(3)1(i)(b),13(3)1(iv) or Rule 16B of the Army Rule 1954 or equivalent Navy or Air Force Rules will not be entitled to the benefits of OROP. It will be effective prospectively.
5. The Govt. has decided to appoint a Judicial Committee to look into anomalies, if any, arising out of implementation of OROP. The Judicial Committee will submit its report in six months.
6. Detailed instructions along with tables indicating revised pension for each rank and each category, shall be issued separately for updation of pension and payment of arrears directly by Pension Disbursing Agencies.
The previous Government had made a budget announcement to implement the OROP and made a provision of Rs 500 Crore. The present Government undertook the task earnestly and realized that the actual additional annual expenditure would be eight to ten thousand crore at present and will increase further in future. Notwithstanding the financial constraints, true to its commitment the present Government has issued the Government order to implement the OROP in true spirit.
