One Rank One Pension: an obligation to be fulfilled, 3.8 out of 5 based on 100 ratings
By Gp Capt AG Bewoor
Issue Vol 26.1 Jan-Mar 2011 | Date : 21 Sep , 2012

In democracies, bureaucrats with their political masters run the show, and it matters little to them that the nation’s Armed Forces creates conditions to run that show in a secure environment. Democracy means civilian control over Armed Forces, but it is conveniently forgotten that ‘control’ demands including the Armed Forces in the decision matrix on anything that impacts the security of that democracy.

In India an immature political leadership controlled by extra constitutional power centres, has connived with a self-serving bureaucracy to make irresponsible and unaccountable use of the Armed Forces, and keeping them out of the decision matrix, even when military options are discussed. The Indian fauji has no political ambitions and eschews interference in governance at all levels. Concurrently our intelligence community have created a bogey about a military coup, exacerbating the exclusion of valuable military advice in decisions involving India’s security. This is tragic for our young nation, where despite coups all around us, we have a proven apolitical cadre of military personnel.

The disdain for Indian Armed Forces, consistently demonstrated by the politico-bureaucratic-extra constitutional combine, is translated into negation of a justified demand for One Rank One Pension, (OROP).

What has this to do with Pensions?

The Two Truths. The public is ignorant about two vital aspects. First the canard perpetrated by civil servants about military coups in India is neither discussed on TV nor written about in national/regional dailies, thus this travesty of truth remains hidden. Second, military personnel retire at a relative young age around 50 years; their civilian contemporaries retire at 60 years. It is critical that these two truths are stated in electronic & print media both regional and national to educate our population. When the possibility of Armed Forces staging a coup is ridiculed on TV and in print, then the politician cannot accept this theory. Sadly the media has failed the nation and our military in particular, by neglecting this issue.

…to mistreat and deliberately mismanage the issue of OROP is criminal with serious implications on both external and internal security of India.

Disregard & Disinterest. The so called upper classes, elite, bureaucrats/technocrats/business entrepreneurs/rich professionals couldn’t care less about what the faujis do, what they get, how they manage their affairs and such tiresome issues. When they are safe, secure and successful, the fauj is irrelevant. Whether the material and emotional wherewithal given to the fauji and his family is adequate for maintenance of national security and safety, is far from their minds. They pay taxes and expect the Govt to ensure their security to generate wealth for themselves and India. They are not to be blamed for this indifference, because our politico/bureaucratic/extra-constitutional power centres have encouraged disinterest about matters military.

Year after year no one seeks information about the Defence Budget, whether funds allocated are adequate, justified, commensurate to threats, or wasteful. The public has a very poor understanding of how threat is assessed i.e what are the inputs, who debate and determine the threat, and how it impacts each Indian man, woman and child. It is sadly of no concern to more than 95 percent of Indians. This is the biggest hurdle in the fauji getting anything justifiably due to him.

The 6th Pay Commission, controlled and configured by bureaucrats, has generated avertable bitterness between bureaucrats and military. Pensioner’s protesting across the country, returning medals, rallies, sparse articles in the odd national daily, with some TV exposure has created insignificant awareness, certainly not enough to convince the average Indian, that something is terribly wrong about our fauji’s pensions. Deplorably, no one is bothered. The fauji is not looking for sympathy, he does not need it. He wants the nation to understand why he is asking for OROP, not as a gift but a right.

The disdain for Indian Armed Forces, consistently demonstrated by the politico-bureaucratic-extra constitutional combine, is translated into negation of a justified demand for One Rank One Pension.

A Quick Perspective. Till the 60s, OROP was in vogue as Military Pension, and faujis got 65 percent of last pay because most had to retire in their late 40s/early 50s while civilians got 33 percent since all served up to 58 years. The 3rd PC abolished Military Pensions, reduced it to 50 percent, increased civil pensions to 50 percent, and added a proviso that to earn full pension a govt servant must serve for 33 years. Thus most military men seldom got full pension because very few could serve for 33 years, but the civil servants invariably got full pension because they served till the age of 58, getting them at least 33 years of service.

Look at the perfidy of this rule and the shabby treatment meted out to the Armed Forces? The Supreme Court has already declared that pension is, “delayed wages for services already rendered”. But look at it this way, Colonel Kapur who retired with 24 years of service at the age of 48 years in 1989, must get the same pension as Colonel Ghosh who retires today at the age of 50 years with 24 years of service. Why must Colonel Kapur have to beg for this, he is only seeking justice because he had to retire at a much younger age than his civilian contemporary who joined the IAS at the same time.

The civilian does not retire with only 24 years service at the age of 50 years, he carries on till the age of 60, and crosses that 33 year barrier. Recently the Supreme Court was constrained to rebuke the Govt for “treating soldiers like beggars”. Regrettably our media, so fond of sensationalism, has not cared to take up cudgels for the military, which provides and preserves that freedom of expression the media clamour for.

Enormous Numbers and who is Responsible?

The Numbers Are Staggering. The number of retired Officers and Other Ranks is large. Studies have shown that for every serving man/woman, the number of pensioners will soon double. Big standing Armed Forces is inescapable to defend our land, its coastline, air space and borders. Add to this the burden of keeping military manpower available for, taking over tasks of the para-military, disaster relief, mega national events etc. Looking at the politico-economic-adversarial relationship with our neighbours, the regional inter-se equations and our global ambitions, trimming the Armed Forces is not an option today.

…the fauji is not seeking what the IAS gets. He has no quarrel with what any other Govt servant gets. He wants what he justifiably deserves.

So What can be Done and Urgently? To ignore unhappiness among retired military personnel is undesirable, but to brush aside and snub disenchantment among the serving military forces is dangerously foolish. Which is why, even with an unblemished 63 year service record since independence, the equation between the military and civilian masters remains skewed against the military, with great possibility of greater disillusionment within the Armed Forces?

Who Got Us into This Condition? Who but the civilian leadership of India have brought us to this perilous state? Their acts of commission & omission have created a hostile environment within and around India, making it impossible to drastically decrease the size of our military just to cut the pension bill. So don’t blame the Armed Forces for the number of pensioners. Young men are enticed to join the Armed Forces because there is a pension, which is a big attraction. Our large population ensures multitude applications for few vacancies, and we get a voluntary military force that is exploited to the hilt by civilians, and then aborted like unwanted pregnancies at a young age. How long will this carry on?

The Indian military leadership has ensured loyalty, integrity and obedience from the rank and file, and will continue to do so. But to expect that leadership to maintain loyalty in the face of gross injustice is challenging the very roots of good military conduct and behaviour. Serving faujis will become pensioners one day, if they have misgivings about fair-mindedness of the system throughout their military service, somewhere, sometime, something will snap. India’s one billion people will not be able to contain the ill effects of such a breakdown. So there is urgency for remedy, clearly, truthfully. We may be running out of time, Indian governance cannot practice brinkmanship with its own Armed Forces.

What Justifies the Military Demanding One Rank One Pension?

Does Honour, Izzat, Life Threatening Occupation Matter? It has been said that izzat, honour, life threatening occupation are irrelevant to pension. Let’s accept it. A recent comment on TV equated the danger to a fire-fighter to that of a soldier fighting terrorists. Ridiculous as it is, one fact is indisputable; the fire does not shoot bullets nor lobs grenades, at the fire-fighter. Further comparison is unnecessary. Notwithstanding the truth that a fauji’s occupational hazard is far severe than all other’s, and he braves those hazards for izzat, camaraderie, and honour of his unit, let’s not consider this factor for granting OROP. It is incomprehensible by non-military persons.

 A Colonel who retires at 50 years will get a pension based on salary at retirement which will not be the maximum salary of a colonel. If he had served for till 60 years he would receive that maximum salary and get maximum pension of a Colonel.

Service Under Colours in the Forces. Being a force that demands high physical fitness, it is imperative that the average age of a serving officer or soldier is kept low. Most if not all, retire by the age of 50 years. Of the four lakh boys who aspire for NDA every six months, only 250 will enter the Academy. Of these 250 not more than 20, less than 10 percent will reach the rank of a Major General, equated to Joint Secretary in the IAS.

On the other hand, more than 85 percent of boys and girls joining the Lal Bahadur Academy for IAS probationers will become Joint Secy. While 80 percent of those 250 boys who joined NDA retire before 50 years, all IAS probationers are guaranteed service till 60 years. If a Colonel does not become a Brigadier, out he goes. If a Deputy Secy does not become a Director or Jt Secy, he continues as Deputy Secy till 60 years. Is this ‘civilian control over the military’? The injustice in this equation begs the question, how does this impact pension?

How Is Pension Amount Arrived At? Pension is based on last salary drawn, and depends on the actual years of service put in. In the Armed Forces (AF), there is a sliding scale of pay for every rank except the top two rungs. A Colonel who retires at 50 years will get a pension based on salary at retirement which will not be the maximum salary of a colonel. If he had served for till 60 years he would receive that maximum salary and get maximum pension of a Colonel. The IAS probationer, who say reaches the rank of Director, and does not get promoted, need not retire at 50 years as the Colonel has to. He remains a Director till the age of 60, by which time he gets maximum salary for a Director and so maximum pension for a Director.

    plastic vanessa bruno are some of the more popular choices and for many good reasons as we’ll cover. Of course since you are buying this expensive vanessa bruno, you want it to be perfectly installed so it looks great. These vanessa bruno can come completely disassembled or in sections which are easier and faster to install. The installation contractor will be the person you will have to haggle with about how assembled the vanessa bruno is. This is the very best way to go because that means they should care enough to make it all look perfect and beautiful.

    Assessing the many kinds of vanessa bruno on the market is quite a project to take on – there’s far more available than you may think. You may or may not have a clue about what is best in your property, and this is actually normal since most people just are not aware of the selections available. Believe me, there is no shortage of information available on and offline which will be helpful. Bear in mind the many different types of property fencing come with a variety of features.

    There are risks when you put many options in front of your market and this has been proven.

    This is a good recipe for poor site performance and metrics because of too many things to read and think about. So when you are visiting a fencing website, just take your time and don’t get overwhelmed. After reading this article, you will at a minimum have some general idea of what is available to you as a homeowner or even business owner.

    One of the vestiges from old money and large homes is the wrought iron vanessa bruno, and they are highly unique and add a touch not available in other designs. You have seen wrought iron before, and most of the time the color is basic black, but it still creates an impression that is different from all others. If you have an older looking home, then this could be the perfect complement to it because of the feeling it creates within oneself. On the other hand, there have been a lot of improvements over the years with making metal more long lasting regarding the elements out of doors.

    There are tons of good reasons to install a vinyl vanessa bruno in your residential home. Because vinyl is plastic and made a certain way, you will find that it frees you from tedious and frequent care. Take care about where the vinyl material comes from, and the reason for this is some overseas suppliers used vinyl that is not brand new, and this is to be avoided. If you want to deviate from the usual white color, then do what your heart and good eye for color coordination tells you.

  91. These Babus have destroyed the morale of the armed forces….! In fact, they are propagating a notion that since india is a nuclear power, it is not necessary to put too much of money into the Indian armed forces……! The question is, if Indian border is threatened, then will these babus go and defend india…..? No…..of course not……..they are just pen pushers, who are dictating the outcome of the lives of millions of Indians….

      If you want to make your property really stand out in your neighborhood, then maybe the ornamental type of fencing could be for you. It’s possible that the majority of people are less interested in having an ornamental vanessa bruno than other types. It is all about being creative and then possibly merging the practical with the aesthetic. Dare to be different, and in this way you can have a very practical vanessa bruno that just looks like something for design purposes only. Ask about the various elements possible with this, and then a whole new world can open up to you, and you may ignore all the other types of utilitarian vanessa bruno.

  93. Those who are got honorary rank AFTER RETIREMENT should also get pension benefits as already getting all other ranks except sub maj. If a Hav retires after doing full service he is entitled to get pension of Nb sub, where as if a sub maj retires after doing his full service and receiving honorary rank after retirement is not getting any financial benefits. Please look in to the matter and take necessary action.

  97. Gp Capt AG Bewood has written a well researched article and he might have put lot of efforts to garner the data he has eloborated. I salute him for his wonderful work. I feel he should have given copies of this article to news papers so that it is read by all concerned as this source is limited to few only. Otherside of the story, lot of work is required to ractify problems of ex-servicemen by GOI. Retired defence persons need to be looked after but solutions seems – Go to courts and claim your entitlement. What happended in case of Rank Pay?. Likewise OROP should be wef 01 Jan 2006 and not from 24 Sep 2012. Time will tell, it will be paid later by courts and not by GOI now.

  104. Dear Gp Capt. A. G. Bewoor,
    thank you for a very clear picture on one rank one pay. Before reading your treatise I believed the ex servicemen were being greedy. Now I see the danger this poses on serving soldiers.

    Our politicians have no clue of governance. That 30% of MP’s are with criminal cases and each was favoured by a political party makes our Lok Sabha a don’s den not a temple of law. IAS is no more than a bunch of “mug pots” who score the marks by roting through Coaching. Rightfully called “Babus” nothing more than highly paid clerks. With decision makers the “Officer & gentleman” approach of Ex Servicemen will not achieve anything.

    Neta understands only votes. For that he embraces even criminals. remember Phoolan Devi a murderer was an MP???? ?I humbly suggest Ex Servicemen must combine and make a Vote Bank that will make the Neta come to you. Each Ex Servicean has at least 4 immediate family mmbers and 10 extended family and 20 friends. This is a large Vote Bank albeit dispersed all over the parliamentry constituencies. Noine the less thsi will awaken the neta of the most stupid kind.

    My father-in-law Late Maj. M.A. Subhan retd was a pioneer in the One rank One pay efforts. My husband Cdr. M.A. Raihan. SC. IN. Retd now continues efforrts his father started.

      You can use any type of vanessa bruno to keep kids and others out of your pool, so this is another excellent use for vanessa bruno. One thing you want to do is think about kids because you want to avoid any accidents.

      Plus you have to think about kids and teenagers who may attempt to climb the vanessa bruno. Pool vanessa bruno are usually metal vanessa bruno that can be coated with vinyl; however, one additional purpose for the vinyl coating is to make them more difficult to climb. You can also find chain links that are much smaller than usual, and these are very hard to grab for climbing purposes.

  107. I have some questions :

    Q 1 – During war will it be okey to say ? – Hay ememy wait; I will resume my fight with you after 16 hours as I am paid for 8 hrs salary only as my other counter parts like IPS/IAS and rest of the govt employees.

    Q. Will our enemy listen to this?

    Q Will this nation aford this pattern of warfare to protect the motherland?

    My job responsibilities were always for 24 hours. I served for 28 years and did not recive my salary for 16 hours a day or 56 years or means this was overtime and should get double the salary means 2 x 56 = 112 years.

    My first demand the this nation is pay me 112 years salary with interest.
    My Second demand is One Rank one Pension.

    Lets get united and demand our legitimate arrears.

  108. Sir,
    You have brought out the relevant aspects in brief. Thanks for this write up. I wish that each and every officer who reads it should forward it to all others including civilians known to him, so that the public in general should also know about these facts.
    In today’s world what matters most is the bargaining power, which can only be achieved through solidarity. I wish and pray that all the uniformed persons be those officers or other ranks must come under one flag. The sooner its achieved the better it shall be.
    Myself and my younger brother are from NDA, joining of which was considered to be a big acievement. Today let the govt carry out a survey and find out how many children of armed forces forces officers have selected armed forces as their career or how may daughter s have opted to marry armed forces as career. Alas! none from the persons I know of..
    Will the Govt and the country allow the situation to deteriorate so much to the extent that it becomes irreversible and the country at large suffers when there shall be a real need of persons of great moral values.
    I wish and pray that the politicans and the govt as such will understand this aspect, failure to do so shall be at the cost of compromising the very existance of the nation and it’s people.
    Govt. must not forget the Chanakya’s word that ‘The day the soldiers have to demand for thier rights it will be the beginning of dooms day for the king’
    May God Bless India. Jai Bharat

Dear Sirs, The corrupt system of this country and the corrupt politicians can never give justice to the defense people regarding one rank one pension, because we are disciplined and Nationalists, that is why these groups to LOTTO this country like their own property in the shelter of so called Democracy, gets certificate from Janta for five years by votes.I feel We ESM”s are fool, crying like a child for orop, why we should cry? We got disciplined power in our hand, we are empowered to do what ever we feel like to do within no time.Its a matter to think in the interest of the Nation. We defense people can not become a watch Dog to protect their corruption deals? A MP draw Rs.60,95,000/- Lacs approx, per year ( having no qualification ), their salaries are hiked more than 200%,even than few MP’s are not happy, Why ? 543 MP’s of Lok Sabha, five years National expenditure for them come to Rs. 1654 corers plus could make their lives livable and lotto this country, Why ? Leaders of ESM’s have to review the action plan for this long pending demand, the new plan & rout to the Aim to achieve.

    Thanks for such a good article. Why can’t the Politicians understand our right demand , Even enough media coverage is not given, For which our Ex-SM associations should take Matter to every where, when ever big rallies are held all over country so that political press-or develops. Only way to wake-up our government is vote and that can be done by ESM, That too when our Top Brass come forward for this matter. Once again Thanks for your efforts.
