A Sepoy had served in the army for 15 years and he had got more benefit in OROP whereas Subedar who had served for 30 years in the Army and senior to Sepoy in service and in rank have govt less benefits/increasment in his monthly pension in OROP?is it justify?
2. It is natural laws of justice that a person who had served for more years in any organisation and is senior in rank and in service he must get more benefits in his pay and in pension,but this fact was totally ignored by new OROP?
3. it is once again reiterated that person with more service and senior in rank must get more benefits in their pension in new OROP otherwise its purpose is not achieved in giving OROP to pensioners/ex-servicemen but only to give benefits to few junior in rank and in service?hence,This anomaly must be removed/corrected by our govt,ministry of Defence/anomaly committee/by our system?thanks

Many Pensioner who stayed in Government Quarters through out their services of 40 years could not make their own houses and staying in rental houses. Why can’t they be considered of House Rent allowances ? Government should think about it .

REALLY this basic pension will highly effect the moral of serving soldiers and hurt the exservice men . It is not a good justification, pl check and correct it .di not suffer the regular army subadars.
