One Rank One Pension{OROP} – Latest News, Table, Chart and Other Details
More than 25 lacs of armed forces retired personals will get their enhanced annuities under the scheme of OROP (One Rank One Pension), in the month of January 2016, top Ministry officials of Defence Department stated. The enhanced annuities will cost about 7,000 crore rupees to the government. The Defence Ministry, in the meantime, is thinking again and again whether it ought to debar odefence personals who quit their job before finishing their term from the advantages of One Rank One Pension.
About 80% of officers and Jawans leave the armed forces after failing to get the promotion which they expected. The advantages of the present One Rank One Pension scheme are refused to those defence personals. For instance, a Colonel rank person who quits the armed forces prior to finishing his term as he did not make it to get the promotion to the rank of Brigadier won’t be allowed to enjoy the benefits of One Rank One Pension.
But the sources stated that Manohar Parrikar, the Defence Minister of India has ordered to rethink on that particular issue and is tending to strike this condition off. If it is done, it will tackle one of the chief apprehensions of the Indian armed forces. “On the off chance that officers of the armed forces who left their term incomplete in addition to quit the service for not getting the desired promotion are barred from the advantages of OROP, the armed forces would be loaded with the passed over armed forces officers. Worse, these officers will have to continue their duties under the authority of the junior officers” the ministry source stated.

Budget of defense for annuities is predicted to rise from 54000 crore rupees (2015-16) to 65000 Crore rupees (2016-17), therefore a boost of about 20% of the armed forces pension expenditure. 86% of total expenses owing to the OROP will profit JCO’s along with other officers of different ranks.
Military and Army personals have been insisting for the system of OROP for quite a long time. The present system of pension takes into thought, the last pay drawn while making a decision about the amount of one’s pension. Though, the OROP term proposes that the personals of armed forces holding the similar rank plus same span of service should be given similar pension, despite the last pay drawn. Another crucial point of this system is that some hike in the rate of pension will be implemented automatically to the precedent military pensioners.
Reasons Behind Demanding for the One Rank One Pension Scheme
- After having a glance at the non-defence employees, it has been seen that they leave their jobs after attaining the age of sixty. Though, in the Military employee’s scenario the annuity age is quite less. Therefore, the responsibility of the family for such military personals becomes an issue of worry and the option of second career is not quite easy.
- Sepoys in the armed forces retire quite early i.e. at the age of 35-38 years whilst NCO as well as JCOs get their retirement at the age of 40- 45. Only ten percent of the Sepoys make it up to the JCO rank.
- Maximum numbers of the army Officers retire at early 50.
- We all know very well that the service of armed forces is much dangerous and hard compared to any other service.
- Personnel of armed forces are posted in different regions and the most of these regions where they get their postings are very risky. WE can say – they are always in the danger to lose their lives.
- In addition, there was a space of the amount of pension due to the succeeding pay commissions.
