AN INTERESTING ARTICLE TO READ.

Dear PM. ,

Veterans sitting on a relay hunger strike at Jantar Mantar and 50 cities across India.

A small child fears for his grandfather's life.

 He asks his father,why is Dada sitting on hunger strike at Jantar Mantar? Father tells him, Beta he is fighting for his right. The boy says, But Dada told me he fought in 1965 and 1971 wars, now he has retired, who is he fighting? Beta, he is fighting the Govt. The boy asks, Is he fighting the Pak Govt or the Chinese Govt? No Beta, he is fighting the Indian Govt. 
The boy is shocked. Indian Govt? Why should he fight his own  Govt?  Beta, he is fighting for OROP, which was promised 40 years ago but not implemented till date.
 But Papa, Dada is 75 years old, will he get OROP in his lifetime? 
Papa dont people in Govt know what it is to face bullets, or live in -40 degrees Celsius?
 The father replies, Beta, our PM has promised on many occasions, Dada hopes he will implement before he dies.
 The PM is a good man, but Finance people are trying to block OROP.

 You know beta, in 1983 the then Finance Minister opposed free rations to Defence personnel. Indira Gandhi told him to sign the letter by next morning, and it was done. I wonder if our PM will be able to do it?  

Mr PM, this story tells a tale of apathy, disrespect, and denial of OROP to Defence personnel.

You have always stated your regard for Defence personnel. 

Demonstrate now that you really do

. The soldier trusts you. Dont break that trust, for once broken then everything is lost.

 Regards and best wishes.

MINIMUM GUARANTEED DISABILITY / WAR INJURY ELEMENT -RECALCULATED.

                                            Disabled veterans.

REVISED CALCULATION  OF DISABILITY/ WAR INJURY ELEMENT –MINIMUM GURANTEED RATE

  FOR PRE-2006  PENSIONERS ONLY.-             CDA CIR- 456 AND 542

The Disability/ war injury element was calculated as per Cir 456 as under:

This was calculated on the Minimum  scale of Pay band  +Grade pay+ MSP + Xgp.pay. and ,

30% of this total was for 100% Disability.

For Example:

for a Rank of Sgt. Of Air Force  -X Group:

Pay Band:  5200-20200.   So the calculation was:  5200+2800+2000+1400=11400.

30% of this total  11400x 30%= 3420/-   This is for 100% Disability.

But as per VIth PC, the Minimum  Disability for 100% was -3510/-  hence the  3510 was continued.

Now as per the latest Cir 542,

 the   emolument is calculated on the Minimum fitment formula  .

The formula  is –

 The pay scale of V th PC  is taken- As per SAFI- 1/S/ 2008 , for the Rank of Sgt: it is 4670-85-5945. The factor 1.86 is taken:

Minimum of the scale  4670   X 1.86= 8686 – rounded to 8690. +2800+200+1400=14890.

Minimum Emolument= 14890    So , 100% Disability is  30% of   14890 =4467.

Previously it was    3510 and now it is 4467, thus a difference of Rs.4467-3510= 957.

Likewise, for each Rank it is to be calculated.  For Officers  Ref.table No-4

There is no change for the ranks of Sep, NK, and Hav of  Y  and Z  Groups.  And Equal ranks in Navy and Air  Force.

You can refer the Charts in the Circular 542 dated 27-5-2015

This is applicable for Pre-2006 pensioners only.

 

For Post 2006, it is calculated on the emolument  at the time of  Disability

The affected veterans can approach  their PDA for  revising the Rate of Disability / War injury Elements.

Dear veteran brothers, please  convey this information to other veterans in your areas..

AFTER A LONG SILENCE GEN.VK.SINGH COMMENTS ON OROP.

One Rank One Pension is a Certainty, Says 

union Minister VK Singh

Hyderabad:  Former army chief and Union Minister of State for External Affairs, General VK Singh, today asserted that one-rank one-pension (OROP) scheme would certainly be implemented.

"The Prime Minister has made a promise regarding OROP. It would be implemented. There was some delay because calculations are going on. Therefore it is taking time. Let's not lose heart. I have full faith in the Prime Minister. It would be implemented exactly as wanted by the retired Army men," General Singh said.
