IESM: Chairman's Desk- Pension Differentials
Date: Thursday, 13 August, 2009, 10:39 PMDear Colleagues,
A senior veteran called up to check authenticity of his input hinting that the recent enhancement of pension of Lt Gens to Rs 36,500/- was under review. It needs clarifying that as of now there is no such review being undertaken. A Tri Service delegation of ESM belonging to different groupings had an interactive session with the Army Pay Cell today. Te meeting was chaired by the DG (MP & PS) Lt Gen Chaturvedi.
There was a general convergence of views on pension related issues. Following main points emerged:
The Services are fully seized of the problems of the ESM and are doing the best they can do within the constraints of being in uniform.
It was highlighted that there was a need for commonality in pension of the PBOR of the three Services.
Clubbing the pension of four ranks of officers (Lt Col, Col, Brig and Maj Gen) within a narrow bracket of 1000 rupees was illogical. It failed to take into account the differential in their length of service in uniform and the level of responsibility held by them. There was thus a need to enhance these pensions (including that of the Lt Col) and introduce adequate inter rank differential.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
