Raw Data for calculation of OROP received today from PCDA (P) - Links for access

 After 2 years of quest, was surprised to receive a CD containing the raw data which was used to compute OROP.

Now searching for a laptop with a CD/DVD drive so that I can transfer it to a pen drive and then share on Google drive.

Hold your breath & cross your fingers.

Annual Revisions of OROP - Beneficial or Contraindicated?

 It is argued that there should be an annual equalisation of OROP based on the prevailing pension of officers retiring in that year in the same rank and same qualifying service. The argument is that pension would increase every year.

 

Perhaps, but I request a learned and simple answer to each of my following doubts: -

 

1. The time scale based promotion from Fg Offr (Lt) up to and including rank of Wg Cdr (Lt Col) is 2, 6. and 13 years mentioned collectively as Zero year below.

 

2. The start (Zero year) of pay band (Basic Pay + Grade Pay) in 6th CPC is Flt Lt (Capt) Rs 24700, Sqn Ldr (Major) Rs 30410 and Wg Cdr (Lt Col) Rs 45400 respectively. 

Does the start of the Pay band (Basic Pay + GP) change by 3% every year i.e Zero + 1 year, Zero + 2 years etc? 

Illustratively, in Zero+1 year will the Pay Band start at Rs 25440, Rs 31300 and Rs 46760 respectively?

Or will the newly promoted Flt Lt (Capt), Sqn Ldr (Major) and Wg Cdr (Lt Col) start at Rs 24700, Rs 30410 and 45400 as in Zero year?

 

3. Now, supposing in Zero year there is a Wg Cdr (Lt Col) whose 23 years QS comprise 6 years in the Ranks + 17 years as Commissioned Officer. His Basic Pay + Grade Pay would be Rs 52000 and RE Rs 58000 & Pension Rs 29000 is the minimum while the maximum in the same rank with 23 years commissioned service has Basic Pay + Grade Pay would be Rs 61000 and RE Rs 67000 (Pension Rs 33500). 

The average RE would be Rs 56000 and Pension Rs 28000. Correct?

 

4. Next, in Zero+1 year, there is a Wg Cdr (Lt Col) whose 23 years QS comprises 9 years in the Ranks + 14 years as Commissioned Officer. His Basic Pay + Grade pay would be Rs 46800 and RE Rs 52800 & Rs Pension 26400 is the minimum, while the maximum in the same rank has 23 years commissioned Service and their Basic Pay + Grade Pay would be Rs 61000 and RE Rs 67000 (Pension Rs 33500).

The average RE would be Rs 53900 and Pension Rs 26950. Correct?

 

 

             

Link to Comprehensive Rejoinder Affidavit filed in Hon'ble Supreme Court after Order of 01.5.2019

The Honourable Supreme Court passed an order on 01.5.2019 to the Govt of India, MoD, DESW to file a comprehensive rejoinder affidavit in reply to certain submissions made by IESM in addition to its Original Petition No. 419 of 2016.

 

The link below is to access and read the Comprehensive rejoinder Affidavit (262 pages).

 

Of particular interest would be Para 13 regarding the powers of the hon'ble Court, which appear to have been misinterpreted by certain newspapers leading to a lot of fretting, fuming and flogging the MoD. 

 

Attention is also drawn to the amounts indicated in PCDA (P) Circular No. 555 being the weighted average of the minimum and maximum pension for a certain rank and specific years of QS. 

 

It also lucidly explains that there would be many earning pensions above the weighted average.
