KNOW YOUR O.R.O.P PENSION AND ARREARS ON LINE


KNOW YOUR O.R.O.P PENSION  AND ARREARS ON LINE

An on line solution to find the correct pension of a Defence pensioner and Family pensioner is a long pending need.  Unfortunately, the PDAs and DPDOs have not given much importance to this aspect.  Also frequent changes in the pension regulations, various anomalies arising while implementing  the pay commission’s recommendations, rigid attitude of MOD and the lethargic attitude of the CDA(P) and CGDA have all joined together and made the Defence pension pension payment a most complicated job to the Banks.

Now the pensions of the entire 2.5 million Defence pensions have to be revised under OROP Scheme.  The Banks are struggling to find a solution to this task.  None of the Banks have any comprehensive software for revising the pension of such a huge number of people.  The ultimate sufferers are the poor pensioners.  The refinement of Defence pension account is an urgent need.

OROP orders were released on 4.2.2016.  Till today, none of the banks have bothered to pay the arrears. Nowadays, the banks spent huge amounts  for automation.  But somehow, they have neglected the Defence pension payment.

In fact the OROP orders have simplified the entire Defence Pension payment system for fixation of revised pension and opened the gates for developing a comprehensive software for calculation of OROP arrears and fixation of revised pension.  Even then, the banks are delaying payment.  The Table No.7 is the basis for creating all other types of pensions for JCOs and Ors.  The various Groups have been reduced to only Two Groups now.  Therefore, it is easy for the banks to develop a software only for OROP arrears and revised pension.  Unfortunately the banks have not given importance to this aspect.  Moreover, the most important parameters required for fixing the new pension is the Rank, Qualifying Service, Group and Date of birth. The banks can pay immediately for whom the above information is available.  For others, they can get it from the PSAs on urgent basis.  But, it seems that none of the above work is undertaken by any of the banks.

In view of the above, we thought of developing a simple software to calculate the arrears online and forward the working sheet directly to all the CPPCs of the respective banks by email so as to enable them to take up the payment without any further delay.

Click the following link.  You will be taken to Exwel Trust website. Follow the instructions given in this Blog dated 12.3.2016.


Defence Pension
Family Pension Arrears
OROP arrears for pensioners
OROP for family pensioners
OROP with disability.

Now click only the OROP arrears for pensioners and fill up all the details.  Do not try “Defence Pension” Tab and “Family Pension Arrears Tab” for the time being. At the end you will get Print PDF button.  Click and take a print out if you want, and save it in your computer.

Now come back to the original blog, click the link for getting email ids of all the banks.  Search your bank’s CPPCs email address and forward the OROP arrears print out as an attachment to your bank.


This is our humble effort to make the banks to take up the payment at an early date.  All the readers of this Blog, please forward and give us feedback.  We welcome your comments on our efforts.  Officers OROP arrears are not covered under this system.  A separate software is being developed for  Officers.  We will inform as soon as it is ready.

I lost my father, Major SMK Ghori, in a fierce encounter with Terrorists in Kupwara, J&K. Today would’ve been his 55th birthday, but he departed 15 years ago. I was 8, but I’m blessed with a very vivid memory and I hold on to those few childhood recollections, very dearly. I remember Amma would buy us a small cake, and let us blow the candles, celebrating his birthday even when he’s not around.  So, today I’m going to eat cake, pray for his soul and take pride in being his little girl.

WE, Ex-servicemen Welfare Trust, Tirunelveli-Dist, Tamil Nadu , pray the Almighty  to give strength to the Girl/daughter of the martyr  and also pray that  the martyr's soul rest in peace.

ALAS: IN ORDINATE DELAY IN PAYMENT OF ARREARS -CIR 547 / 549





   Military veterans on peaceful demonstration.

  ALAS: STILL MANY MORE VETERANS NOT RECEIVED THEIR PENSION ARREARS AS PER CDA CIR 547/549.

It is very much regretted that even after 6 moths from the date of issuance of circulars,547/549,  no Bank has completed the work of payment of arrears, particularly for widow pensioners.   We think that they are not worried about the Military pensioners.

We fail to understand  the reason for such a long delay in this COMPUTERISED DAYS.

Had it been for Civilians,  the trade Unions would have Lodged Bundh, Hardal,  Lockout and so on.  It is  because of the discipline the Military veterans are brought up,there is no such actions,  only representing to authorities  in lawful  and peaceful manner.

Now the order for Revision and payment of arrears for OROP also is released.
 The work load is further increased for the BANKS.

 The  huge backlash is not yet removed .

Let us all request the bankers to hasten the process.

Our Ex-Servicemen Organisations are prepared to extend Assistance to Banks where ever required.

LET US ALL HOPE FOR THE EARLY RELEASE OF ARREARS.

OUR DEFENCE MINSITER TAKES STEPS TO REDUCE LITIGATION.



 We sincerely thank our Defence Minister for taking steps to reduce the Litigation against defence veterans.

 



Defence Minister issues instructions for reducing litigation against military personnel

The landmark step is bound to bring down the grievances of civil and military employees, pensioners and disabled soldiers since the MoD was known to litigate till the Supreme Court in cases decided against it.


In a move which will provide major relief to military personnel involved in litigation with the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has issued strict guidelines to reduce frivolous appeals filed in Supreme Court against serving and retired personnel.
The new policy, passed last week, states that no appeals would be filed in sensitive matters or those involving public policy unless approved by the defence minister himself. Taking a strong view regarding routine filing of appeals in the Supreme Court, Parrikar, passed orders to curb this tendency by overhauling the procedure of litigating in service
