Government Twists OROP: Pension enhancement for sure

Announcement over media is NOT real OROP- The struggle for OROP is far from over- Read on...
For those who sent congratulatory message by phone and email on grant of OROP by the Government: Thanks But NO Thanks!!!
THE REALITY IS DIFFERENT. THE GOVERNMENT HAS JUST ANNOUNCED WHAT WAS THE 6TH PAY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND WAS TO HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 AND NOT "OROP". THERE WAS MISCHIEF SOME WHERE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF 6TH PAY COMMISSION AND IT IS BEING NOW RECTIFIED WITHOUT RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT AND IS BEING TOUTED AS "orop" BY THIS SHAMELESS GOVERNMENT.
PLEASE READ THE the Press release by PIB of Government of India Click here
The same is extracted for comments and pasted below:
As they say the devil is in the details. Read carefully...
We are asking for "Same pension for the same rank with same length of service" calling it as OROP.
Now read what has been approved:
"The pension of pre 1.1.06 Commissioned Officer pensioners would be stepped up with reference to the minimum of fitment table for the ranks instead of theminimum of pay band."
  • What is this fitment table? Where is this terminology coming from? Who has suggested this? What is the minimum of the "fitment table"?
  • Does this translate to the definition of "Same Pension for the same rank with same length of service"?
    The answer is NO, NO, NO...
    From what is there in the (Click Here) blog it appears that they have only approved "minimum of pay for the rank in the pay band" as was recommended by the 6th CPC and was messed up by th "Babus" while implementation of these recommendations by saying "minimum of the pay band".
    This is nothing Great. The Government had to implement this anyway since there are judgement s to the effect by AFT. The same verdict has also been given to Civilian Pensioners by Civilian Administrative Tribunals (CAT) on a case filed by a group of Pensioners from Chennai. The Govt has now perhaps decided not to go on an appeal.
    But the news channels have been misinformed to report that OROP (same rank-same length of service- same pension) has been approved. Who is doing this mischief?
    Sounds like the repeat of the 2009 Committee of Secretaries report!
