One Rank One Pension

Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking review of its order upholding the One Rank-One Pension principle adopted by the Centre in its 2015 communication issued to the Chiefs of three defence forces.

OROP is short for "One Rank One Pension", which aims at pension uniformity for armed forces personnel retiring at the same rank with the same length of service.

The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce its verdict on Wednesday on a plea by ex-servicemen association seeking implementation of One Rank-One Pension as recommended by the Bhagat Singh Koshyari Committee.

The centre has blamed discrepancies in the "One Rank One Pension" policy on former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, who it said made a statement in parliament in 2014 on OROP without any recommendation by the then Union cabinet.

The centre's "hyperbole" on the One Rank, One Pension policy "presents a much rosier picture" than what is actually given to military pensioners, the Supreme Court said today while hearing a petition by former servicemen.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled the commitment made to armed forces veterans by providing the 'one rank one pension' scheme, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday.

Centre has disbursed more than Rs 42,700 crore to 20.6 lakh retired defence personnel under the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, which was notified five years ago, the Defence Ministry said on Friday.

The Congress said on Wednesday the one rank, one pension scheme should also be provided to the paramilitary forces as they too sacrifice their lives for the country.
