One Rank One Pension – The importance of LTA

One Rank One Pension – The importance of LTA

The undrawn pension of a deceased pensioner paid to the Family pensioner or the Nominee or his Legal heirs is called LTA. Since the O.R.O.P arrears are paid in Four installments, and most of the beneficiaries are aged, it is likely that they may miss the remaining installments. Therefore, the legal heirs of the aged pensioners are to be more vigilant in claiming the O.R.O.P arrears as LTA. Every pensioner must submit nomination or convert their pension account into Joint account (E or S) immediately. They should also inform their legal heirs about the amount of future installments and probable payment dates.

The Family pensioner or the Nominee or the Legal heirs are normally not aware of the dues to them after the death of the pensioner. The Banks even after getting the information about the death of the pensioner continue to credit monthly pension till the next life certificate. In some cases, the family continue to draw pension through ATM for many months.

The mistake is detected only when the family approaches for family pension. In the case of death of a family pensioner, the over paid pension after the death of the family pensioner remain as it is with the bank. None of the legal heirs comes forward to close the account. In normal days, it is ignored as the amount involved is less. But now the significance of LTA has become more important for the family pensioner because of the O.R.O.P arrears which is due in half yearly installments.

O.R.O.P has been implemented from 1.7.2014. The arrears of OROP of a pensioner who died before receiving the same will have to be paid to his wife as LTA. In case of a family pensioner, the OROP arrears will be paid to the Nominee or Legal heir. As on today, none of the bank will pay the OROP arrears of a deceased pensioner of their own. Unless and until, the concerned people are more vigilant, and claim they will never get.

In addition to O.R.O.P. arrears, there are other arrears like Pre 2006 (Cir.547 arrears) is also to be paid. Also one more order on Delinking of 33 years service for full pension is also likely to come. All these arrears involves considerable amount. Therefore, it is informed that all the defence pensioners and their families are to be more vigilant to claim these arrears. Otherwise they will lose forever.

Jethmalani to fight legal battle on OROP issue

Jethmalani to fight legal battle on OROP issue

“I am 93-years-old and I can die any day but I assure you that it will not happen before I get you justice from Supreme Court,” he said.

Senior Supreme Court lawyer Ram Jethmalani today assured the ex-servicemen demanding “complete implementation” of ‘One Rank One Pension’ that he will lead their legal battle in the apex court.

“I am 93-years-old and I can die any day but I assure you that it will not happen before I get you justice from Supreme Court,” Mr. Jethmalani said while addressing armed forces veterans staging protest at Jantar Mantar in the national capital.

Major General (retd) Satbir Singh, leader of the protesting veterans, claimed that a case would be filed by Mr. Jethmalani on the OROP demand in the Supreme Court in the next 3-4 days and that Mr. Jethmalani would not charge any fee.

Mr. Jethmalani, who has been fighting a legal case over the issue of black money in SC since 2009, also lashed out at the Narendra Modi government for “failing” to bring back black money stashed away abroad.

“Modi promised to bring back black money from foreign countries and I believed him but he fooled me. But when German government offered to disclose the names of such bank account holders, no one from India approached it,” he claimed.

Singh said four more cases have been filed in the armed forces tribunal.

“These cases pertain to rulings for Jawans, war widows, arrears since 2006, payments for honourary ranks, rounding off of disability pension, and payments of reservists,” he said.

The veterans’ protest at Jantar Mantar entered its 320th day on Friday.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had in September last year announced implementation of the long delayed OROP for ex-servicemen but the veterans have been continuing with their protest demanding “complete” implementation of the scheme.
