Sir,
Why is that the Ministry of Defence, Min of Def Finance, and Ministry of Finance treat the same army differently when it comes to Pay and Allownces of OFFICERS and JAWANS OF THE ARMY i.e. JCO,s ORs, and NCEs. Is it to drive a wedge between the two??? or with any other sinister intention by the IAS Babu. Why can not the orders automatically be made applicable simultaneously to both the category. By the way if this principle is to be followed than it should be made applicable in all the fields e.g. buying of weapons for the army like when rifles Pistols and Carbines are to be bought separate budget and allotment could be made for officers and ORs. BABU's are really funny. They dont know how the army operates, the ethos customs and traditions on which army functions because there are no customs and tradition and ethos in IAS and other services. Only one being LOOK FOR PLACES WHICH GIVE YOU MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE TO GRAB MONEY.
When is such an order expected in respect of civil pensioners who continue to draw pension as per 6th CPC
