OROP Scheme Latest News 2023
On 7th November 2015, the Indian government issued a policy petition for the One Rank One Pension (OROP) Pension Revision with impact from 1st July 2014. According to that petition letter, future pensions will get re-secured every five years. As per some reports, in the last eight years, approximately INR 7,123 crore per year and INR 57,000 crore in total has been spent on implementing the One Rank One Pension (OROP) Scheme 2023.
The One Rank One Pension Scheme 2023 has been implemented to resolve the gap between the rate of pension of past and current pensioners. If we talk about the equalization of the pension every five years, as mentioned in the policy letter, then the revision of the One Rank One Pension Scheme should happen on 1st July 2019. However, we can say that the Indian Government has taken a welcoming step to resolve the most controversial issues of fixation of pension by implementing the One Rank One Pension Scheme 2023. It is a massive relief for pensioners, especially those who think they are not equally treated.
We are really grateful that you have stayed with us until the end.
