Removing Anomaly in Pensions of Ex-Servicemen
Removal of anomaly, if any, in the
pension being given to the various categories of ex-servicemen is a
continuous process. Such anomaly is redressed, as and when it comes to
the notice of the Government.
The policy of “One Rank One Pension” has
been adopted by the Government to address the pension disparities. The
modalities for implementation of OROP are under consideration of the
Government. It will be implemented once the modalities are approved by
the Government.
A Pension Grievance Cell exists in the
Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare. Grievances received by this Cell
are examined and redressed in coordination with the agencies concerned
in the matter. A system of holding Pension Adalat is in place to provide
a credible forum for redressal of grievances of the defence pensioners.
Officers concerned of every organisation involved remain present in the
Adalats and the grievances are redressed on the spot. A computerized
pension enquiry project “Suvigya” has been developed by the Controller
General of Defence Accounts (CGDA).
It is an online pension enquiry system
which would enable the ex-servicemen to know their entitlements of
pension. A pensioners’ grievance cell exists in the Office of Principal
Controller of defence Accounts (Pension), Allahabad.
This information was given by Minister
of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shri D.P
Tripathi in Rajya Sabha on Thursday, 30 July 2015.
