Government Announcement on One Rank One Pension in 2 Days – NDTV

By
igeadmin
-

The government is ready with a draft proposal on One Rank One Pension or OROP and plans to make an announcement within the next two days, sources have said. But veterans on strike at Jantar Mantar say it is a “unilateral” decision by the government as they have not agreed to it.

NDTV has accessed the government’s draft proposal, which lays out about Rs. 8000 to 10,000 crore annually for the pension package and proposes to make OROP effective from 2014.

But the government has stuck to its ground that pension will be equalised or reviewed every five years and not every year, as demanded by the ex-servicemen. The government says eventually, discrepancies between the pension drawn by ex-servicemen who retired many years ago and those of the same rank who retire now and in the future, will disappear.

The veterans who have been on a strike in Delhi for 82 days now, say they have not heard of the government’s proposal and that if an announcement is made, it will be unilateral.

“The entire definition of One Rank One Pension changes if the review takes place every five years,” said an ex-serviceman.

The veterans and the government have been involved in negotiations for months now. The Prime Minister’s Office stepped in after the strike escalated into a hunger-strike last month when Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to announce OROP in his Independence Day speech on August 15.

In the last few weeks, almost all points of disagreement are said to have been resolved. Sources said that while the five-year review remains a sticking point, the government is banking on the protest losing steam, since some of the veterans want to accept the package on the terms the government is offering.

The draft proposal is being seen as the government’s final word on OROP, a two-decade-old demand that PM Modi had promised to implement when he was campaigning for last year’s national election. The veterans and also political rivals have repeatedly reminded the Prime Minister of his promise.

OROP will give the same pension to ex-servicemen who retired many years ago as that which soldiers of the same rank retiring now draw. There is a huge discrepancy right now. The scheme will benefit three million veterans

Babu’s are waiting for three important announcements

By

Central government employees, Pensioners, Ex-serviceman, defence personnel, Armed Forces Officer and from various departments are eagerly waiting for following announcement from the Central Government

1. OROP Implementation
2. 7th Pay Commission Report & Implementation
3. Hike in Dearness Allowance

1. One Rank One Pension:

OROPThe main concept of One Rank One Pension – according to The Koshyari Committee Report, and the deposition by Secretary (ESW), Ministry of Defence, before the Committee, “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” also includes includes “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. In armed forces, equality in service has two components, namely, rank and length of service. The importance of rank is inherent in armed forces as it has been granted by the President of India and signifies command, control and responsibility in consonance with ethos of service. These ranks are even allowed to be retained by the individual concerned after his/her retirement. Hence, two armed personnel in the same rank and equal length of service should get same pension irrespective of date of retirement and any future enhancement in rates of pension be automatically passed on to the past pensioners.

This topic has been started in 1973 during the third pay commission itself, now this topic is under final stage.

2. 7th Pay Commission Report & Implementation

7th-CPCGovernment constituted 7th pay commission on February 2014, Justice A.K Mathur heading the Seventh Pay Commission. Central Government employees are expected the 7th CPC report during the September 2015, in this situation 7th CPC requested additional timeline to complete the report. Union Cabinet also provided approval for four months extension till Dec 2015 to submit the report.

3. Hike in Dearness Allowance

The yet another important topic is Dearness allowance, usually government will announce the hike in dearness allowance for all central government employees during the September month, so government employees looking closely for DA announcement from the government.

Seventh Pay Commission Likely To See Pay Hikes By 40%

By

The Seventh Pay Commission’s report is likely be submitted to the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley shortly.

Sources said that there will be no internal relief. The average increase in basic fair pay for all government employees will be in the region of 40-45%.

This is a very rough average because for senior level officers, like the Cabinet Secretary or officials at the secretary level, the payback could increase by more than 50%.

The Pay Panel may recommend a new pay scale from January 1, 2016. The existing HRA would be retained for A1 cities; while there would be a 15-20% hike for other cities.

But interestingly when we spoke to government employees they were not really happy, essentially perhaps because effectively if you take the DA out, it is not really a hefty bonanza as many thought it would be.

Also, given the price rise and inflation issues, most people are saying it is really not that sufficient. Most of these recommendations will be implemented.

But the point is, if the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has a problem with any of the observations or with the impact of the Pay Commission recommendations, he might even send this back to the Pay Commission for another round of iteration.

In that case, some amendments will be made that come back to the Finance Ministry and then it may go back to the Cabinet for approval. If that happens, it could delay the process by about 1-2 more months.

A central government employee will earn up to 40% more if the government accepts the Seventh Pay commission’s proposals, which will be submitted shortly.

This pay hike would affect the lives of over 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners and could trigger off similar pay hike across state governments as well.

An official of the Pay Commission, says recommendations will be made to improve productivity.

The Commission will be talked of market driven compensation at the top level, where there are expert persons required by the government. There should be open competition with the public. If they have a better candidate from outside, he should be appointed instead of simply promoting people by seniority, said the official.
