        THE FOLLOWING IS POSTED, IN RESPONSE TO A QUERY MADE BY A SENIOR MWO, RETIRED IN 1975(34 YEARS BACK) HAVING SERVED ABPOUT 32 YEARS(34+32=66=16 YRS AT THE TIME OF JOINING, HE IS ABOVE80YRS). AND HE HAS BEEN, FOR QUITE SOME TIME,  SEEKING DETAILS OF HIS PENSION AS PER OROP. 

THIS INFORMATION SENT TO HIM BY E-MAIL TODAY MAY BE A SMALL SOLACE:-
-------------------------------------------------------
DEAR MWO MK GANGADHARAN SIR,


MY SALUTATIONS. I UNDERSTAND YOUR ANXIETY.

THE GOVT HAVE NOT AGREED FOR OROP. BUT THE CoS COMMITTEE HAD RECOMMENDED SOME OTHER METHOD FOR ENHANCEMENT OF PRE-2006
PENSIONERS WHICH HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE GOVT. AND BASED ON THIS
REPORT, THE NEW PENSION ORDERS ARE NOT YET ISSUED BY THE GOVT. THE
CoS RECOMMENDATIONS ARE:-

(1) To RECKON the Pensions of all Pre-1.1.06--ORs Pensioners, with reference to a 'NOTIONAL MAXIMUM" in the POST 1.1.06 REVISED PAY STRUCTURE Corresponding to "THE MAXIMUM OF PRE-6TH CPC Pay Scales, as per the FITMENT TABLE of each rank, AND

(2) Also to continue THE ENHANCED WEIGHTABE AWARDED BY THE GOM.

Thus, the NOTIONAL MAXIMUM in the post -1.1.06 Revised Pay Structure, corresponding to the MAXIMUM OF Pre-06th CPC Pay Scales) is mentioned against each rank of X and Y groups.. From this figure, the Existing Basic Pension is deduced after applying the Pension calculation formula (Notional Max.amt /2 x 15 yrs+wtg/33). Then the EP is added with 50%DP+ 40%weghtage. All the details are taken from AFSI 1/S/08.

An attempt is made by me, based on the ABOVE FORMULA, for arriving at THE EXISTING PENSION rates(@MINIMUM FOR 15 YRS ONLY), as deduced below:-

MWO(9550)-17770/2X--DITTO--=5385+2693+2154 = 10232 R/OFF TO 10240 (for a minimum period of 15 years of minimum reckonable service only).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL AND NOT BASED ON PRESCRIBED
GUIDELINES BUT A TENTATIVE CALCULATION ONLY. THIS IS JUST FOR AN
IDEA/UNDERSTANDING ONLY.

I shall inform you, as and when the exact pension, after the Govt orders are issued by the Govt.
This is for your kind information, please.

WELCOME AND WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU, SIR.

Tricity ex-servicemen decide against returning medals

      The following is posted for the benefit of information of all:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CHANDIGARH: Some organizations of retired defence personnel from the Tricity have decided that their members will not return their gallantry medals on October 25 in Delhi, which had been planned to push their one-rank- one-pension (OROP) demand. The organizations’ members said they had severed ties with Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM), which had called for this protest Lt Col (retd) SS Sohi, spokesperson of Indian Ex-Servicemen League (IESL) said the decision was taken after prime minister Manmohan Singh assured that he would take personal interest in resolving the OROP issue.

He also stated that PM had spoken against negative remarks by a committee of seven IAS officers regarding OROP last month and directed defence ministry to hold fresh meetings with ex-servicemen to deal with this demand. He stated that surrendering medals despite PM’s assurance would be against the spirit of democracy.

He added that IESM’s Lt Gen Satbir Singh, who gave the call for this protest, was hand in glove with opposition parties.
