I had read some place that in the case of the IV CPC Rank Pay case, a representation had been made in the court that the outgo would be Rs.2000 or Rs.3000 crore, similar to the kind of bogey that was raised, and now debunked, in respect of OROP. I wonder if there is some concrete calculation kept ready to rationally challenge these outlandish figures.

Nothing is likely to shake up status quo on the OROP- this report or any AFT verdicts.Only way out is for our services to pitch for the welfare of the ESM by having direct linkage with the political set up in the country. Demography of the MoD & DESW needs to changed with at least 50%- if not more manning by service people.Our Chiefs will do well to fight for bigger cause of ops preparedness,improving the environment & well-being of the services & retired soldiers than to correct the correct year -in the New Year.

The Recommendations stand buried in the last sentence of the Findings....seems the Committee did not wish to highlight its own recommendations ! The Babus would be well-advised to follow our Manual of Staff Duties when writing a Report...!

Sir,
I understand many times earlier also Parliment committee on defence has recommended OROP and now Petition committee from rajyasabha is once again recommending the same.Will it make any difference to ESM community in the near future?

When this is the style of functioning of our Parliamentary Committe, kindly see what PM Mr David Cameron said about his soldiers: He said that "Our Armed Forces do so much to keep us safe. This committee will be my way of ensuring our troops and veterans get the support they need. One of its first priorities will be to address the challenges facing hundreds of troops returning from the frontline in Afghanistan. In the coming year, I will make sure we deliver." The PM's action group — full name the Armed Forces and Veterans' Committee — will be made up of ministers across all Government departments that help the forces and former personnel.

I prefer not to make any further comment on this.

well it appears that there is some hope of light in this tunnel of despair.

Dear Maj Navadeep,

Please accept our heartiest congrats. your analysis of the report is absolutely correct. If I am not wrong before the third pay commission the pension to AF pers were 70% of the last pay drawn on superannation and for civ it was 30%. The same has been brought down to 50% for AF pers and from 30% to civ it has been brought up to 50%with out going into details of the terms of ref of the employment.Why it was not objected by any one at that time and it needs to be highlighted at this time to counter the bureaucratic apathy towards the AF pers. Can you please throw some light on this unless you feel that it will open a pandora's box.

Thanks
With reagrds

@All.

DESW actually stands for DUSHMANS OF ESM WELFARE . So expect NO WELFARE from these jokers. They are our tormentors and not our well wishers. ESM orgs need to intensify their struggle to get these worthless boos booted out from the Dept.

How about picketing them and shaming them publicly?

Dear Major (in rank and thought process, Sir

The services that you render to this segment of most neglected in peace time but most sought-after during national crisis is invaluable. I fail to understand as to from where do you get so much of stamina to read through and put forth very valuable unbiased interpretations.

May GOD bless you, sir.

Maj Navdeep, Heartiest congrats on launching of the Gazette!
The Committees recommendation prove whose 'welfare' the DESW looks after. isn't it time that this dept be run purely by Ex Servicemen, and not the IAS?
i am facing a problem, solution for which no agency has been able to give. My father in law, a pensioner, expired lately. the papers were processed with the PDA, but since her date of birth is not available, the PDA has not been able to give her the family pension. she was born in what is now pakistan around 1936. what is the way out? thanks
