IESM: Call for "OROP" the just demand of the Ex- Servicemen

Mon, 21 December, 2009 9:05:51 PM
Dear Colleagues,
There had been complaints from ESM that banks are not playing fair and that in some cases they are underpaying the pensioners. It had been our effort to ask the government to issue instructions to banks and have these published in all major newspapers. Those who attended the AGM on 13 Dec 2009 would recall that I had made a mention of it. Happily, those instructions have been issued to the banks and this has appeared in English and vernacular press today. The instructions have been issued jointly by the Ministries of Defence and Finance leaving no doubt. This may kindly be given wide publicity and ESM advised to exercise their right to obtain Annexure IV and seek clarification from the banks in case of any doubt.
Despite our persistent efforts the government has not accepted the principle of OROP. As planned the next depositing of medals will take place on Sunday, 31 Jan 2010. Time of assembly at Jantar Mantar is at 1100 hours; detailed instructions on the subject will be issued separately. All State and District conveners are requested to further intensify efforts to spread the message so that we are able to deposit medals in massive numbers and pressurise the government into accepting our just demand of OROP.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
