One Rank One Pension (OROP)
Subject – Government Schemes
Context – Mr. RajnathSingh also credited the Prime Minister with resolving the decade old One Rank, One Pension (OROP) issue that the previous Congress administration had refused to resolve during their tenure.
Concept –
- OROP means the payment of the same pension to military officers for the same rank for the same length of service, irrespective of the date of retirement.
- Before OROP, ex-servicemen used to get pensions as per the Pay Commission’s recommendations of the time when they had retired.
- The implementation of the scheme was based on recommendation of the Koshiyari committee, a 10 member all-party parliamentary panel formed under the chairmanship of Bhagat Singh Koshiyari.
- Armed Forces Personnel who had retired till 30th june 2014 are covered under it.
