But, everyone, justify from the Jawans, up to senior officers, is
assured of enhancement of approximately Rs.2200 to Rs.22,000 pm.

“After the centre’s
announcement of implementation, all ex-servicemen are curious to know
about their likely increments and arrear in pension revision.”
Despite the fact that the Central Government has announced the implementation of OROP,
which has been the long-standing demand of ex-servicemen for more than
40 years now, anti-government protests and rallies continue to rock New
Delhi.
The ex-servicemen have made clear their disappointment over certain important demands and expectations related to the OROP, including the amendments
in the pension revision, date of implementation, constituting a one-man
commission, fixing of the base year, and the case of those who chose to
retire early. These are also the reasons why protests have resumed.
According to the Ex-servicemen statement, 46% of ex-servicemen are PMRs(Pre Mature Retirement). So, this is the very important aspect in this scheme and we cannot compromise, veterans said.
The relay fast that was started at New
Delhi’s Jantar Mantar in order to demand the immediate implementation of
OROP, continues even after 83 days. Finally some of the war veterans
launched a fast-unto-death protest. These protests, that were carried
out in order to get the government to take some concrete action, instead
of just making promises, succeeded. But, instead of celebrating the
success of their protests, the ex-servicemen forced to declare that
their protests will continue.
On the other hand, however, the Central
Government has also splashed pictures of ex-servicemen delegates
greeting the Prime Minister with bouquets, congratulating him for
implementing the OROP scheme. But, there is no denying the fact that the announcement has brought cheers to all the ex-servicemen in the country.
Meanwhile, the big question among
ex-servicemen now is – how much will the actual increment be? What is
the arrears amount? When will it be delivered?
Understanding the OROP scheme is getting
more and more complicated with new demands and clarifications being
raised with each passing day. Only by debating and discussing on these
issues can they be understood clearly. It is difficult to predict the
increments and arrears of each and every pensioner accurately. There is
no fixed age of retirement for all. The arrears and increments have to
be calculated on the basis of their ranks, the number of years that they
had served, and the year of their retirement.
It would be easier to calculate this if the Government releases a detailed PROJECTED OROP TABLE of revision of pension for all categories.
