OROP-II ANOMALLIES -DHARNA AT JANTAR MANTAR

 

                                                     OROP  ANOMALLIES  

Dear Veteran brothers,

Please think over  regarding OROP  fixation of pension.

The original fight  was for OROP, i.e the Pension of past pensioners and the future  pensioners should be same for  same Rank, same Group and same length of service.

 

Here, the servicing  personnel are getting  an increment of 3%  every year, We also wanted the increment in pension every year,   The Govt said that it is not possible to revise the pension of over 30laks pensioner every year.  Instead ,  Govt. agreed to revise the pension every 5 yrs  vide their commitment in 2015.   Accordingly the  OROP =I  was formulated  in 2014. 

Here they arrived the formula  Min/ Max  and average   method  which is a confusing method.

Nobody could  follow   how they have arrived the minimum and maximum,  Anyway , it was implemented  w.e.f 1-7-2014.    There were so many anomalies , a One man Anomaly committee was formed , they submitted the report in 2016 , But  the report was not  available in public domine.

Here, if the fixation formula   by  giving the increment  of 3%  or 1.5% for pensioners was taken ,that is to say, after 5 year,  in Simple or compounded method,  say 7.5 %. Increase is taken for fixation, all , irrespective of Ranks would have been benefited .   There would be no discrimination  Officers or Men.    And the present agitation might have not come .

No doubt, there is  grievances  regarding Equal MSP,  Disability  formula, Special/ Liberalised family pension  and so on.

But the  OROP_II  dissatisfaction  should have not come if the increment formula was adopted.,

Now, due to this OROP-II  anomalies,  Our JCOs are deprived of their  increment and a RIFT  has been surfaced  between Officer and Men , which is not at all appreciable.   This will affect the Serving men  and a short of hatred may develop  which is very much not acceptable.

Now, ESM community / associations, forgetting their  differences, have joined together  and raising their voices  against Government, MOD, DESW ,CGDA and PCDA . 

Dear veteran brothers, please think over .   Learned veterans Organisations like  IESL, IESM and TSEWA  can  put forward  such suggestion  to higher ups .
