Shri Rajnath Singh Ji
Honorable Defence Minister of India,
South Block, New Delhi
Respected Sir,
Since, 01 Jan 2006, JCOs/NCOs/ORs are being treated step motherly during the various revision of disability pension, & all benefits of revisions have been given to the commission officers at the cost of poor Jawans/NCOs/JCOs vide our date attached.
The difference in disability pension between the lower rank and higher rank was merely Rs. 300/- during the 4th CPC which is now Rs. 64723, If DA is included, it will be Rs. 87729/-pm as of date. Accordingly, the ratio of disability pension from maximum to minimum was merely 1.66 during the 4th CPC which has been enhanced to 8.60 during the 6th pay commission and 7.30 during the 7th CPC.
During the revision from 01 .01.2006 to date, Jawan/NCOs’ basic disability pension of pre-06 retiree increased from 193% to 243% , JCOs from 273% to 368 % whereas in case of officer it is a jumped of 525 % for Major less than 21 years service and above rank officers from 812 % to 1176%.
The 7th CPC has recommended Rs 12000/- disability pension for 100% disabled jawan/NCOS, 17000/- for JCOs, and 2700 to officers. However, under pressure from the officers’ lobby, the Govt has changed the disability pension policy to determine it from slab based to percentage-based without protecting the recommended amount of disability pension. As a result pre-2016 retired jawans are getting Rs. 10277 /-pm instead of Rs. 12000/- since 01 .01.2016 which is Rs. 1723/- pm less than the disability pension recommended.
Disability pension of pre -06 retirees JCOs/NCOs/ORs has not been revised wef 01 Jan 2006 in accordance with 30% of maximum of pre-revised scale across the three services as determined vide PCDA Allahabad table No 471. As such JCOs/NCOs/ORs have been given less disability pension of Rs. 861 to 3033 from 01 Jan 06.
The pay of officers has been multiplied from 2.67 to 2.81 whereas jawans’ pay has been multiplied by merely 2.57, as such during OROP revision, the disability pension of officers will again enhance considerably .
It is a blot on the image of Govt that due to their pro officers’ attitude and policies, justice is not being delivered to JCOs/NCOs/ORS while revising pensions.
it is requested that disability pension of JCOs/NCOs/ORs be revised in accordance with Maximum of pre-revised scale across the three service vide PCDA Table No 471 from 01 Jan 2006. In this connection please also refer to our letter No Pre-06/disability/01 dated 20-10.2015.
Though disability pension should be equal to all ranks as all ranks feel the same pain for the same disability, however, It is requested that at least minimum disability pension of JCOs/NCOS /ORs should not be less than 21000/-pm for 100% disability wef 01 Jan 2016 or from the date of revision of OROP.
