One Rank One Pension: Myth or Reality?

If the UPA government wanted to "encash" the 6th Pay Commission recommendations in the run- up to the general elections, the move seems to be boomeranging in its face.

Rattled by the growing unrest in the armed forces and police forces over the paltry hikes, the government now appears to have taken a decision to set up a high- powered empowered committee, comprising the finance, defence and home secretaries, to look into the anomalies and grievances of the uniformed services.

Govt panel to look into pay anomalies of forces?

Comment: SCPC has let down the 21 lakh ESM. The "one rank one pension" which was promised during elections was truly a gimmick and a ploy to assuage the voting population. 2008 has been declared as "Year of ESM" by RM. Is there still any hope for the ESM? Will the empowered IAS Committee go into the long felt need of ESM?
