    Please let me know. What are my arrears
    Of pre 2006. To be paid now.

  • We agree with your comments Ramakrishnan Narayan Rao, posted on 20 Aug 2015. This fact is actually being happened with the retiree personnel from the Army, who are in confusion at the time of retirement, because his home is not built, his children are between the education and lastly his resettlement is unexpected because he is being touted by the civilian by giving meagre salary and taking much work. – Hony Capt KL Saini, Panchkula

    85% of soldiers retire at age of 36 to 38 as govt. wants young force. Railway and other govt employees retire at age of 60. A soldiers children just starts attending school when he retires. Govt. servants get children education allowance, hostel subsidy etc for his children's education. Does the government give these allowances for a retired soldiers children ?. Does the govt. gives alternate employment to soldier till he attain the age of 60? Mind you at the time time his entry to service he takes a pinch of salt and swears that he will defend the nation even at the peril of his life. Which government servant swears like him and abide by it? Is it not the duty of the govt. to provide for the soldier's decent living? Hence they are asking for OROP. Secondly when there is national calamity like flood, cyclone, etc. who goes for assistance? When a soldier helps others, he shares his dry ROTI with him, where as Govt servants claim for breakfast, lunch and dinner from star hotel. Do you know, a soldier on rescue mission does not mostly get any T A. So do not compare yourself with a soldier and demand OROP. Mainly soldiers are asking for OROP only for survival after having served the Nation .
