OROP and Finance Commission

The 14th Finance Commission , in its recent report, have observed the following.

A   potential fiscal  liability may arise in the  future with the introduction of OROP scheme for Defence services.”

Though a budget provision has been made in FY 2014-15 towards OROP, the payment has not been made. Hence the payment was deferred to FY 2015-16.  The estimated increase on this account is  6.62%.

The Finance Commission also stated that “ the pension  expenditure may increase by 8.7 % in 2015-16, and by 30 % in 2016-17. 


This clearly indicates that 7CPC implementation would happen only in 2016-17.
