Dear Colleagues,
Details of the government’s exact stand on OROP are still awaited.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM

GEN RAJ KADYAN SUBMITTED THE IESM PROPOSAL OF GRANT OROP TO THE RM AND CABINET SECRETARY

To:
The Cabinet Secretary
Government of India
The Ex Servicemen community is greatly indebted to the new government for having included re-examination of our long pending request for ‘one rank one pension’ (OROP) in the Presidential address to the Joint Session of Parliament on 4 June 2009. It is fervently hoped that this issue would be finally resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned.
OROP has already been studied in great details by various government committees and all its ramifications are well known. However, in case there are still some grey areas that require further study, examination, or discussion, we from various ex servicemen organisations will be happy to help the committee and the government in whatever way we can. Please do not hesitate to call upon us to help you in any way we can in getting this issue that has been agitating our community for so long laid finally to rest.
Sd..... Raj Kadyan

ONE RANK ONE PENSION
General
The Ex Servicemen community is greatly enthused by the new government having included re-examination of the ‘one rank one pension’ (OROP) issue in the Presidential address to the Joint Session of the Parliament on 4 June 2009. This is the first time this long pending request has received its due acceptance. It is fervently hoped the issue would be resolved to the satisfaction of the Ex Servicemen who have long been requesting it.

Concept of OROP
OROP is a request for equal pension for all defence pensioners retiring in the same rank and after equal length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement.
