Where is the OROP heading – OROP Table in Circulation

Where is the OROP heading


It is with considerable interest that I read the musings/op ed of Brig V Mahalingam (retd), a noted TV debater/expert and of Col Rajvardhan Singh Rathore (retd), MP and now Hon’ble MoS respectively on the OROP. I do not wish to comment nor am I qualified or knowledgeable enough to do so.
But their learned comments sparked off some questions.
1. What happens in the OROP of the pre-AVSC Majors and Lt Cols with 26 years of service? Would they want the pension of Lt Cols and Cols?

Would they be satisfied if a Major (with 26 years service) was given OROP based on an extended table i.e. 13 years table of a Lt Col with an average of Grade Pay of Major and Lt Col (i.e Rs 8000-6600= 1400 divided by 2 = Rs 700) extended to 26 years of service as on 1.4.2014?
Similarly, would the Lt Col with 26 years service be satisfied with an OROP based on an extended table i.e.  20 years of Col with an average of Grade Pay of Lt Col and Col (i.e. Rs 8700-8000= Rs 700 divided by 2 = Rs 350 extended to 26 years of service as on 1.4.2014?
2. Has the equalisation of 3% been misunderstood to mean increment of 3% annually? Suppose two Lt Cols A born on 01 Jul and the second B on 02 Jul. A would retire on 30 Jun and B on 31 Jul. A would not get the increment that B gets. Now what happens if both had the same number of years of service on retirement? Shouldn’t their pensions be equalised? Wouldn’t it be acceptable as the financial effect may be 1 to 2 % of the total?
3. How would the financial outgo be impacted if Army which has a larger number of Y Group puts in a case for X Group pension for all? Will there be lesser effect in the Navy and Air Force, which has a larger number in X Group?
4. If service in the rank is to be the criteria for OROP, then wouldn’t we need different tables for each Service, each Arm/Service/Branch/Trade? As service records are destroyed after a certain number of years, who and how would this data be provided? Because not every one is provided with or keeps copies of Casualty Reports (and equivalents in the Navy and Air Force)! And how will the clerk in the Banks calculate pension at every subsequent change for at the moment he has tables (in Circular 500 and 501) and where the X axis (rank) intersects with the Y axis (years of service) is where he/she obtains the pension due amount!!!
5. A figure of Rs 14000 crores would probably arise if CGDA (or PCDA (P)) decided that maximum years of service in the X axis and Rank in Y axis in Circulars 500 and 501 multiplied by the number of Lt Cols  Rs 26265), Cols (Rs 27795) and Havildars (Rs 9145) and equivalents (the largest strength)with 28years of service or more. Wouldn’t it be prudent to take some real data say over the past 3-5 years to determine the actual years of service, which would definitely be less than the highest amount taken for calculations.
6. There are an increasing number of cases where Brigs, Cols, even some Lt Cols & equivalents, drawing Pay in the pay band + Grade Pay + MSP higher than Vice Chiefs and Army Cdrs and equivalents. Is there a case of OROP for the Maj Gens, Lt Gens and Apex scale?      
 7. Do the following tables (in circulation elsewhere) meet the points above?

  • hello sir
    can you do a favour for me my father done 18 year service and retired as post of les. Havildar what would the pension for him ..??

    plz sir

  • Abhay Kumar 8 years ago

    What about the Pre 2006 arrears for JWO. Not yet received.

    JWO Abhay Kumar

  • Banks have not credited the arrears of Pre-2006. I was retd as Hav (Gp B) on 31 Mar 1993, putting 21 Yrs & 8 months service.

    Ex Hav H C Asthana

  • Ex-JWO. ARYA PREM,
    if a 15 yrs JCO and 26 Yrs JCO gets same Rs.11365 Basic pension, why will any JCO serve for 26 Yrs ?
    then all JCO's will quit service after 15 Yrs. Y there is disparity between Officers and PBOR,
    Y? non of the officer's Rank gets same pension like JCO's from 15 to 26Yrs ?

  • sir ,
    as a practical in army 17 years will take naik24 years to Havildhar ,so it is eye washing .

    • No, it is not eye washing. Possibly it would be minimum period for pension of respective rank for those who fail to pass for promotion. Those who are capable of passing exams can rise to commissioned rank within 10yrs of service. Regards,
      Daya Shanker Lal Srivastava Ex MCPO II, Mumbai (07738115388).

  • Dear Sir, Why Pension of a Nb.Sub of 15 yes to 26 yrs is calculated in the same slab?
