HAND OUT FOR VETERANS
OROP Sanctioned
We have been seeking the grant of OROP ever since 1982 when we put this up to Smt Indiraji first time ever. Thereafter we got this approved by last five Prime Ministers which included Sh Rajiv Gandhi, Sh VP Singh, Sh Narasimha Rao, Sh IK Gujral, Sh Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
After a meeting of Lt Col Inderjit Singh Chairman with the leadership on 14 Feb 2014 the Sixth PM finally announced its acceptance on 17 Feb 2014. The Govt appointed a committee to work out the award so that it could be implemented before the elections were declared. In Apr a meeting of this Committee was held in which MOD produced their version of OROP, which was rejected by the Services. They then asked the Services to put up their own proposal. The Services HQs produced a Draft Government Letter (DGL) which has been in circulation for quite some time now.
On 12 Jun the three Services Chiefs presented this proposal to the Raksha Mantri. The MOD did not agree with it and to mislead the leadership they stated that the expenditure would be Rs 9100 crores.
With both sides disagreeing with the other the problem is stuck. A few days back a delegation of the veterans led by Gen VK Singh met the RM for moving the matters. After listening to them and before the delegation left he very clearly told them that they should "tone down their expectations". This in other words means that the Govt is not going to give full OROP.
This is where the matter rests today.
In Sep 2012 the Cabinet Secretary's Committee increased the Veterans pensions that fell far short of OROP. Whatever was given was made applicable wef 24 Sep 2012 and not from 01 01 2006. These orders have been implemented to a large extent already. Those who have not received will also receive soon enough.
Not satisfied with this decision a case was filed by some organization for making this applicable wef 01 01 2006, which has been won by the pensioners.
LIKELY PAYMENT OF OUR DUES
As a result of various orders we are to get the following:-
a) Cabinet Secretary's award effective from 24 Sep 2012. This is in the process of disbursement. Many of us have already got it. Remaining will get it soon.
b) Cabinet secretary's award wef 01 01 2006. The Court has allowed this and sooner or later the Govt will have to pay.
c) Award as a result of implementation of OROP. This will be effective from 01 Apr 2014 and will be paid after the Govt issues orders.
