‘We The People’ by Barkha dated 30 March on 24x7 and further to my views on ‘Pay & Perks’ Armed Forces (Posted earlier on the Dreamers Club). I feel the issue of life time pay package and career progression of Armed Forces Offrs vis-à-vis civil bureaucrats anomaly is not being correctly addressed or I will say being projected to the populace by our Retd Senior Offrs spokesmen on various TV Channel chat shows or in print media.
A bureaucrat generally becomes JS or equivalent (60% of the cadre) in 15 yrs plus and thereafter draws a Maj Gen pay package for almost over 15 yrs of his service. Only two percent of army offrs reach this rank and draw the benefit for about 5 years. Same is the case with Brigs/ Directors.
Army offrs when on deputation or otherwise are at the same rank or lower where in our bureaucrat friends move on deputation on a higher grade/ appointment.
Order of Precedence as laid down in GOI Notification No 33-Pers/79 of Jul 79 gives out that a Col is above DM/DC/DIG Police. However ranks worn by police have no equation with those of the Army.
Our Sr Retd Offrs need to highlight these major anomalies to the populace as and when they get suitable opportunities to express their opinions on various platforms.
