One Rank one Pension

On the recommendations of PMO, a Committee was set up under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary in June, 2009 to look into the issue of ‘One Rank One Pension and other related matters’. After considering all aspects of the matter, the Committee keeping in mind the spirit of the demand, suggested several measures to substantially improve pensionary benefits of Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR) and Commissioned Officers, which have been accepted by the Government and orders for implementation of all the recommendations have been issued.

Government has constituted a Committee headed by Cabinet Secretary and consisting of Principal Secretary to Prime Minister, Defence Secretary, Expenditure Secretary, Secretary (ESW) and Secretary, DOP&T for looking into the pay and pension related issues of relevance to Defence Services Personnel and Ex-servicemen. The Committee has already had several meetings and the recommendations of the Committee are to be submitted to the Government by 8.8.2012. Action on the recommendations can be taken after the committee’s report is processed and accepted by the government.

    The veterans are all ears and agog with anticipation and excitement. One Rank one Pension is a recognized millstone around the Govt’s neck. Committees after next sit, quaff gallon of coffee and aver, the military whines too bloody much and file the report. The Under Secretary is made to sign and the contemptuous slur against the one time soldiers gets debated over tea in desultory way. The PM is subtly bearded. and the matter rests.
    This 15 th Aug. 2012, keenly awaited by the ESMs will come and go.Then again the interminable battle of wits resumes.
    Well it is business as usual once again. Amen
