PM Narendra Modi has reiterated his government's commitment to implement the "one-rank, one-pension" scheme for ex-servicemen, but sought time to resolve its complexities. Here is a TOI lowdown on the "one-rank, one-pension" issue.
1.
*Payment
of uniform pension to military personnel retiring in same rank with
same length of service, irrespective of date of retirement.
*Any hike in pension rates to be automatically passed on to past pensioners.
What is "one rank, one-pension" scheme
*Any hike in pension rates to be automatically passed on to past pensioners.
2.
*Civilian
employees retire at 60. Military personnel retire much earlier (based
on rank) when family liability is maximum and 2nd career is difficult
*Sepoys retire at 35-38; NCOs & JCOs at 40-45 (Only 10% of sepoys become JCOs)
*Most officers retire in early-50s (just a few become Lt-Generals/Air Marshals/Vice-Admirals to serve till 60)
*Terms and conditions of military service much tougher than civilian government employees
*Soldiers undergo hardship postings, with risk to live and restriction of fundamental rights
*Successive pay commissions have widened gap between veterans who have retired earlier and those who retire later

*Most officers retire in early-50s (just a few become Lt-Generals/Air Marshals/Vice-Admirals to serve till 60)
