Indian Military Veterans
NEW DELHI: The Centre has in principle cleared the 'One Rank One Pension'
scheme for retired armed forces personnel, sources have told NDTV. The Govt has made a provision for an
additional Rs.8300 crore
for this purpose.
Sources
say once Prime Minister Narendra Modi is back on May 19 from his three-nation
tour, a final round of discussions will take place with him. The official
announcement is likely to be made later this month, coinciding with the first
anniversary celebrations of the NDA government.
The
scheme, which seeks to ensure that a uniform pension is paid to
defence personnel who retire at the same rank with the same length of service,
irrespective of their date of retirement, has
been a long-standing demand of the over 20 lakh ex-servicemen in the country.
The
government has already made it clear that One Rank One Pension will be
implemented with effect from April 1, 2014
