Disappointed with “One Rank, One Pension” policy not finding
any mention in Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s Budget speech, a
delegation of Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) met Defence Minister
Manohar Parrikar on Monday.
Parrikar is said to have told the delegation that “One Rank, One Pension” is “considered approved”, which is why it was not mentioned in the Budget speech. In its maiden Budget in July last, the NDA government had made a provision of Rs 1,000 crore towards its implementation.
A five-member delegation of retired officers met Parrikar on Monday and according to the note Parrikar “advised that there was no need to cover this issue in Budget” as it “stands approved by the Parliament” in 2014.
According to the note, the One Rank, One Pension “file has been prepared and is in process for approval from Ministry of Finance. After approval of the file from the Finance Minister, it will be put up for approval before CCPA (Cabinet Committee for Political Affairs)”.
Speaking after the Budget, Jaitley had said, “The methodology of calculating the One Rank, One Pension is an issue pending between the Services and the Defence Ministry.”
