One Rank One Pension: The Hindu

Copy of Letter from AK Anthony received by Raj Kadyan

(National Emblem)
MINISTER OF DEFENCE INDIA
DO No 209/MP/PGC/2008/6884-F/RM/08 16 December, 2008

Dear Gen Raj Kadyan,
This has reference to your letter dated 18th September, 2008 regarding One Rank One Pension.
The 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) with regard to the demand for “One Rank One Pension” for ex-servicemen observed that the 5th CPC had already granted full parity between pre and post 1.1.1986 pensioners and modified parity between pre and post 1.1.1996 pensioners. Identical dispensation was given to the civilian employees as well as Defence Forces Personnel. However, the Government is examining whether certain improvements can be made in the pension being given to the old pensioners.

With regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd xxxx
(A. K. Antony)
Lt Gen (Retd.) Raj Kadyan
Chairman, Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement

Just to recapitulate
Why not go in for one rank, one pension?
