#Govt letter dated 15 Feb 2011 wherein order for minimum disability pension on percentage basis was issued.
Note -Ratio of disability pension being granted till issue of Govt order dated 15 Feb 11 seems to be reasonable and thereafter ratio between officer and ORs increased dramatically which is not acceptable.
After OROP the gap between officer and OR further enhanced.
7th CPC recommended 12,000/- to ORs , 17,000/- to JCOs and 27,000/- to officer and thus the ration for Officer and ORs is 2.25 but under pressure from officers lobby the Govt constituted anomalies committee and accepted their recommendation to grant disability pension on percentage basis and reduce the minimum disability pension from 12000 to 9000 in case of ORs. Thus gap of ratio between officer and ORs further enhanced to 27.77. It is the first time in history of independence India that Govt has reduced the rate of Disability pension in case of ORs what was recommended by the Pay Commission.
A group of ESMs who discharged in low medically categories and this organization will be filling case to enhance the disability pension of JCOs/NCOs/ORs up to acceptable level.
