Justification of One Rank One Pension – What is the real status of OROP?



Justification of One Rank One Pension – What is the real status of OROP?





Why is the Government hesitant to implement OROP? – Is economical burden on the exchequer the only reason?





“When the body and spirit are hale and healthy, our soldiers dedicate their life for the safety of the country. Once the body has worn out and the soldiers retire, they want a secure life. What’s unreasonable about this?





“The 35-year-long demand might look unreasonable at the first glance. But, if the request is studied in depth, the urgency and necessity to implement it can be understood.”





IESM claims that civilians and CRPF cannot demand to be included in this scheme.


The moment a young man or woman enters a government service, his/her future is secure until the age of 57-60. The government pays them salaries, promotions and regular incentives and increments. Post-retirement, there is always the pension. But, the soldiers who join the Army, Navy, and the Air Force, opt for retirement at the age of 37. At the time of retirement, they are offered meager pensions. Is it right to use the same yardsticks to compare the two?
