IESL/13/2009 Dt 18 May, 2009
To,
Sh. S.M. Acharya,
Secretary (Ex-Servicemen Affairs) & Chairman
High Powered Committee, Ministry of Defence
Sena Bhawan, New Delhi – 11 0011.
Sub: Post Sixth Central Pay Commission Demands.
Dear Sir,
Kindly allow the undersigned to add a supplement to our memorandum dated 12 May, 2009, submitted to you in above connection.
2. Inadequate promotion among the PBORs (Personnel below officers Rank), specially up to the rank of Havildhar (Hav) and equivalent in other forces, is one of the major factors causing frustration among the soldiers, during both pre and post retirement periods. 'Stress Management in Armed Forces' a report prepared and presented in the Parliament, recently by a Parliament Committee, appointed by the UPA Govt. prior to this election, has expressed its concern over the 635 suicide causes and 67 fratricidal killings in the ranks during the last 5 years. The major cause behind the mounting stress is inadequate promotion which must be checked by implementing the 'Assured Career Progression Scheme' among the ranks up to Havildar as recommended by Ajay Vikram Singh Committee and implemented by the govt. in case of Lt Cols. Presently most of the PBORs retire in the rank of Hav and below during the life span of 35 to 40 years. This must be corrected at the earliest.
3. Similarly additional conditions imposed on the post retirement canteen benefits of PBORs also be done away. At present, short service commissioned officers, with five or less years of services and no pension are allowed to purchase a car of any capacity from CSD after every two years where as PBORs, who have been doled this benefit recently, can purchase the car up to 1300CC only and that too after a gap of 7 years only if they have served for 15 years and draw service pension, after producing valid Driving License. Officers are not required to fulfill the above conditions.
These irritants, if removed, will go a long way in removing the basic cause leading the frustration among the PBORs. Hoping a favourable response from your end.
Yours Sincerely,
Sd/-
Sgt Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd
President.
