The latest report says that the Government 'plans to' provide 8000 crores in the budget for implementing the OROP for Defense forces.
You are aware that such news have come many times earlier during the last two years. First it was 500 crores allocation (by UPA Govt.) and then 1000 crores (by this Govt ). Later a news came that 7000 crores are identified from current budget for implementing the OROP. Now it is proved that all these are NOT true.
Today's report says that 8000 crores "may get provided" in the forthcoming budget for this purpose.
That's not all. The key info is that this OROP implementation will only be for the Defense staff, on the justification that they get retired early (unlike others). The reluctance for implementation is that other Forces also may demand similar pension. Govt is not inclined to admit any such claims.
Such being the Govt's view, how do other Govt pensioners expect for OROP or 'Full Parity' implementation in their pension ? No hope at all !!
It's time for all Pensioner Associations to react. Let's think of how we can persuade the Govt to understand and implement justice. Remember, the Politicians who rule and the Babus who execute are not with you. Moreover, the present employees too are NOT with you. Afterall, none of them wants this !

NEW DELHI: The much-awaited "one rank, one pension (OROP)'' for the armed forces is likely to be part of the Union budget, and could be implemented soon thereafter with the government defining "military pension'' as a category separate from other kinds of pension.
An estimated Rs 8,000 crore is likely to be allocated by the government to fulfill its commitment to the over 25 lakh ex-servicemen, who have been stridently demanding OROP for several years without much success despite all political parties promising its implementation.
Successive governments in the past have contended that granting of full OROP was neither financially nor administratively possible since it could lead to a cascading effect with similar demands being made by paramilitary personnel, among other things.
