DISABILITY PENSION & CASUALITY PENSIONARY AWARDS

 CABINET DECISION DATED 03 MAY 2017 - An extract of the press release is given below:-
 Disability Pension for Defence Pensioners
The Cabinet also approved the retention of percentage-based regime of 
disability pension implemented post 6th CPC, which the 7th CPC had recommended to be replaced by a slab-based system. 
The issue of disability pension was referred to the National Anomaly Committee 
by the Ministry of Defence on account of the representation received from the 
Defence Forces to retain the slab-based system, as it would have resulted in 
reduction in the amount of disability pension for existing pensioners and a reduction in the amount of disability pension for future retirees when compared to percentage￾based disability pension. 
The decision which will benefit existing and future Defence pensioners would 
entail an additional expenditure of approximately ₹130 crore per annum

VETERANS - MUST ACT WHILE IN GOOD HEALTH

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY VETERANS WHILE STILL IN GOOD HEALTH

JUST DONOT POSTPONE THEM EVEN FOR A DAY

1.              While in service, we planned for all contingencies which might occur, whether in official or personal matters. However, after retirement many of us do not display the same meticulousness in our personal affairs. We feel that we still have plenty of time to go and will place our affairs in order In due course of time. When the unexpected happens, the NOK are left to clear an unimaginable tangle of legal and financial issues. It is obviously our responsibility towards our loved ones to organise our personal affairs, while we are still in good health, so that our NOK can receive assets as smoothly as possible. Some measures to ensure this are enumerated in succeeding paragraphs.

OROP PAYMENT CLARIFICATIONS & RANKS IN THREE SERVICES

   There have been numerous doubts on the payment of OROP which have been clarified by the PCDA in its circular Number 557 dt 17 Mar 2016. Salient features as applicable to the  three services are as given below:-

OROP PRINCIPLE .As per Govt. letter No. 12(1)/2014/D(Pen/Policy) Part-II dated 07.11.2015 OROP implies that uniform pension to be paid to the Defence Forces Personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service, regardless of their date of Retirement.”  The pension of all past pensioners will be determined according to the above principle.

RANK WEIGHTAGE In Post-2006 retirees cases, weightage had been withdrawn from Qualifying Service. Therefore, the qualifying service mentioned in OROP table is actual qualifying service only. No weightage in qualifying service is to be allowed at all while extending the benefit of OROP in past cases. For example, if actual Q.S. was ‘q’ years and weightage, if any, was ‘y’ years, the pension indicated in the concerned table for ‘q’ years only is to be paid to the pensioner. (Please Note - The OROP
