IESM: Press Release on status of OROP

Dear Member of the Media,
1. False ads unfortunately being published at taxpayers” expense to mislead public regarding grant of OROP to military pensions. The Facts are :-

13 Years old anomaly only removed. Wide gap in pensions of Pre and post 2006 retirees of all ranks from Sepay to Lt General still persists. Pre 2006 pensioner Sepoy of ‘Y” Gp with 17 years service gets Rs 4971 where as post 1.1.2006 retiree gets Rs 7045. Is this One Rank One Pension or any where close to it as being claimed by the Govt.?

Pre 2006 retiree Havildar still gets less pension than post 2006 retiree Sepoy. Are we any where close to One Rank One Pension?

Pension difference of Pre 2006 retiree Lt Col and Maj Gen is only Rs 1000 where as the difference between Major and Lt Col is over Rs 11500, Maj Gen and Lt Gen Rs 9800/-This effectively destroys the rank structure and hierarchical ethos of the Armed Forces. Has the Govt. been fair to the Armed Forces?

Lt Gens’ pension increased from Rs 27700 to Rs 36500 (increase Rs 8800) to actually justify increase of pensions of Additional Secretaries to help even a few of them who could not become secretaries ensuring One Rank One Pensions for bureaucrats.

All ESM of India solemnly pledge to expose the Injustice and Mistreatment of Military.
