One Rank One Pension in Brief

1. One Rank One Pension A presentation by- Yashdeep S ingh 14MBA1426

2. One Rank One Pension (OROP) is a pension reforms movement for Indian armed forces personnel.

3. One Rank, One Pension  reform would allow the Person who retired in 1980 receive the same pension as a Person retiring in 2015 serving with same rank and the same number of years in the army   Unlike the civil services, where the retirement age is 60, 85 per cent soldiers are compulsorily retired between 35 and 37 years of age. Another 12-13 per cent soldiers retire between 40 and 54 years

4. Protesters demanding OROP also point out that civil servants cannot be discharged by the government on account of disability until they reach their retirement age. But soldiers can be discharged any time on account of disability . Implementing OROP will cost the government at least an estimated Rs. 8,300 crore annually and the Finance Ministry has to take the final call on it now. One Rank One Pension will benefit 25 lakh ex-servicemen.

5. One Rank One Pension was an election promise of the BJP. Ex-servicemen are now demanding that it fulfil that promise.

6. Current Scenario The One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme will cost the government Rs 7,500 crore per year as against the earlier projected estimate of Rs 8,300 crore The total increase in the Defence Budget for pensions is estimated to go up from Rs 54,000 crore to around Rs 65,000 crore , thereby increasing the Defence Pension Outlay by about 20 per cent

7. Payment of arrears will be made by the Pension Disbursing Authorities in four installments , except for family pensioners and pensioners in receipt of gallantry awards, who will be paid arrears in one installment .
