Pension Fixation Based On Notional Progression (Cont'd) : OROP

To be sure, this is merely a re-hash of issues covered on this blog, on other web-sites and blogs, in chat forums, in group e_mails or bars at clubs and institutes.

Not that drawing arrow-marks for marking out a logical pension progression is expected to result in an overnight re-framing of pension awards. But, on the lines of progression path for 7 CPC pension fixation in the previous post, here is the same concept applied to one of the tables (the first one) issued for implementing OROP.




{Edit}: A little clarification appears in order. The notional progression as suggested in the table needs to be governed by some constraints. 

Notional pay, hence pension, of an older retiree in a certain rank must progress to the level suggested in the table provided currently serving Officers in the older retirees' cadre and with the same type of commission progress on basis of time, i.e. length of service alone, to the higher level as shown.

The progression would, by and large, be applicable up to the rank of Major in most types of commission. But progression to the notional level of current level of Lt Col at service of 13 years may exclude those types of commissions with which Officers do not currently progress automatically to rank of Lt Col at a service of 13 years.

Similarly, notional progression to pay, hence pension, of Col(TS) at a QS of 26 years, as suggested in the table, would be justified for those types of commission with which Officers currently get the rank of Col(TS) after completing a service of 26 years.

  1. Sir,
    The most simple logical thinking of yours has given way to a fully justified pension table. Why can't the bureaucrats in MoD and MoF apply their minds in this sensible way? I only wish that somebody there will see this post before giving final orders on 7CPC Pensions. Hats off to you sir.

  2. Sir,
    A very very laudable job. It must be sent to one man Commission on OROP. It will be a great help to the Commission in formulating its recommendations.

  3. Sir,
    I still feel that a comprehensive paper be put up before the commission because the way you have explained it and made it easy to understand. I really appreciate the way you explained it and made it so simple that it is easily understood by a lay person like me. I have a strong feeling that it has not been projected before the commission in such a direct and simple manner. I am sure it will be a appreciated by the commission as a great help.

  4. Sir,
    Last date of hearing/receiving representations/suggestions/views by Judicial Commission as per notification dtd. 02 Aug 16 is 21 Sept 2016. We, the EXM community have all along been struggling for OROP through representations, meetings, protests etc but none had produced as to what OROP's implementation means in tabular form.
    My request to you is to send your views to the Judicial Committee. It's easy to understand format will be of great help to the Judicial Committee.

  5. Perfect and absolutely legitimate.well demonstrated in the form of table with arrows.
    Any sensible person can see the simplicity and rationality . But ,they (mod and def accts )simply thrust irrational and illegitimate tables ,negating fundamental rules and principles in these matters.
    Make esm run around with presentations ,representations ,appeals ,petitions ....etc to resolve designed inconsistencies and anomalies.
    As some followers said ,there should be efforts by esm to propagate these good solutions.

  6. I am at Hyd ,I intend to submit/ present ,print out of this table with brief expression to judicial Comm ,as a possible solution to never ending anomalies due to negation of fundamental parameters,rules and principles in fixation of pension of pre 2004 pensioners. In that ,rigidity of rks without factoring revisions would result in continuation of anomalies.arbitrary cut off dates have to be shed.

  7. Sir,
    Now that the OMJC had submitted his report to the MoD on 26 Oct 2016 on the anomalies in the OROP orders isssued by the government, I wish he incorporated your simplest way of arriving at pensions due in a holistic way. Moreover, the much discussed infeasibility of the Option 1 of the 7CPC scales of Pension based on increments earned will be solved by this method. All the time scale promoted pensioners up to the rank of Lt Col and Col (TS) will get covered easily by this method of calculations, for the rest of the senior lot their increments will be available in their PPOs except a few who retired long back.
