TO BE ANSWERED ON THE 26TH DECEMBER, 2018

MILITARY SERVICE PAY

2404. PROF. SAUGATA ROY:

Will the Minister of DEFENCE
be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government has rejected the long standing demand of armed forces for higher Military Service Pay;
(b) if so, the reasons therefor;
(c) the total number of officers proposed to be affected by the decision;
(d) whether the Government has any proposal to set up a Special Operations Division; and
(e) if so, the details thereof along with the objectives?

ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE (DR. SUBHASH BHAMRE)
IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

(a) to (c): Taking note of the rigours of military life, the VI Central Pay Commission (CPC) had recommended an additional, separate element of pay for the Defence Forces called Military Service Pay (MSP), which the CPC intended would also maintain the edge enjoyed by the Defence Forces over the civilian scales. The VII CPC has consciously decided not to create additional categories of personnel for the grant of MSP or to disturb the slab rates for the four categories for which it is being paid up to the level of Brigadiers. This was done after considering the views of the Services in the matter. MSP was raised by the identical fitment of 2.57 which was applied for pay structure approved by the VI CPC. The recommendations of the VII CPC were accepted by the Government.

(d) & (e): Government has recently approved a proposal to establish Armed Forces Special Operations Division which is designed as a tri Services organisation.

It was also directed to bring this to the notice of all concerned.

2. Since non-finalization of APARs for the year 2017-18 will result in delay in formation of Selection Grade Panels of various Railway Services; Railway/PUs etc. may please ensure that the time schedule is strictly adhered to.

3. Also, it may be brought to the notice of all officers that APAR being ‘Not Written’ on account of · non-submission of self-appraisal in time is different from ‘No Report Certificate’ due to officer being on training, leave, superannuation of reporting/reviewing officers etc. Hence, APARs ‘Not Written’ due to reasons attributable to officers can be viewed seriously at the time of DPC and may also have adverse consequences.

4. Necessary action may be taken accordingly.
