New Delhi, Nov 8: India Government on Saturday issued the notification on implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ for defence forces personnel.
The notification said India recognizes and respects the contribution of personnel of Defence Forces of India.
Notably, the issue was a long standing demand since over four decades.
The Government Order by Ministry of Defence, which could not be issued due to model code of conduct due to Assembly elections in the state of Bihar, has been issued on saturday.
Notably, previous Union Government had made a budget announcement to implement the OROP and made a provision of Rs 500 crore.
The present Government undertook the task earnestly and realized that the actual additional annual expenditure would be eight to ten thousand crore at present and will increase further in future.
