    ‘One rank, one pension’ including officers - Defence


    Minister clarified in Lok Sabha

    Posted: 19 Jul 2009 10:08 AM PDT

    Defence Minister A K Antony today clarified in the Lok


    Sabha that "one rank, one pension" recommendation of
    the Cabinet Secretary-led panel had been accepted by
    the government for jawans as well as officers.

    The government has accepted recommendations of the


    panel on "one rank, one pension" and other related
    matters concerning the armed forces, the Lok Sabha was
    informed today.

    The decision is now nearer to the goal of “one rank, one


    pension” demand of nearly 1.5 million personnel, Antony
    said during question hour.

    The total financial implications on account of benefits to


    the personnel would be Rs 2,144 crore, the minister said.

    The committee has recommended inclusion of


    Classification Allowance for the Personnel Below Officer
    Rank (PBOR) from January 1, 2006, and removal of
    linkage of full pensions with 33 years from the same
    date, he said.

    The committee also recommended revision of pension of


    Lt Generals after carrying out a separate pay scale for
    them, bringing parity between pension pre and post
    October 10, 1997, for PBOR pensioners and further
    improving PBOR pensions based on award of Group of
    Ministers in 2006.

    With regard to the separate pay commission, the


    minister said it had been agreed, and as and when
    necessary it would be set up in the future.

    Antony said the government had also accepted the


    committee's recommendations regarding raising the
    pension amount for those disabled or injured in war.

    "After considering all aspects of the issue, the committee


    made several recommendations to substantially improve
    pensionary benefits of Personnel Below Officer Rank and
    Commissioned Officers, which have been accepted by the
    government," the minister added.
