Rajya Sabha 18:11 IST
Government has not found acceptable the demand of Ex-Servicemen for one rank one pension. This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Kalraj Mishra in Rajya Sabha today. The defence personnel have not rejected the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, he added.

One Rank One Pension for Defence Personnel
Dear Fauji Friends,
The last sentence of this statement is IMPORTANT. What it says is that the "serving" soldiers have not rejected the award of the Pay Commission. By implication, it means that they have accepted it. What the veterans feel about it is of no consequence to the polity of this nation.
Regards,
Maj Gen Surjit Singh (Retd)
Dear Colleagues,
The general impression is that since the Army Commanders and above have already, always and 'perpetually' got their OROP, they, while in service were NOT interested in whether others got it or not. What does NOT affect them, does NOT affect anyone.
That speaks volumes of IMA 'Motto':
"The safety honour and welfare of your country
come first always and every time.
The honour welfare and comfort of the men
you command come next.
Your own ease comfort and safety
come last always and every time."
Why should the 'Defence Services' reject 6 PC Recommendations when those who were in 'Position' to 'Reject' the same got everything?
Bureaucrats are very smart and have mastered the 'Art' of "DIVIDE and RULE". 'Congrats' Bureaucrats (and those who got everything) and 'Consolation' to rest of the Indian Defence Services.
JAI HIND
With Warm Regards,
Brig Harwant Singh (Retd)
ESM are requested to voice their opinions. Why are the court rulings not being implemented? Government is determined to divide and rule by "creating a class within a class" amongst the Veterans! How come only Army Cmdr's have been given a uniform pension (for the pre- 1996, pre- 2006 and post- 2006) Rs 40,000. Does it imply there is uniform pension for Appointment rather than for Rank? One Rank many Pensions, should it read One Appointment One Pension? Will it be in order to conclude there will be one pension for all Commanding Officers of a Battalion or for all Brigade Cmdr's and so forth?
