COMMENTS
The reduction in OROP Pension due to their Qualifying Service being lesser was adopted and being paid w.e.f.1.7.2014.Now that the Qualifying Service was De-linked w.e.f.1.1.2016, the OROP too should come under revision the revision in line with the order of De-linking of Qualifying Service w.e.f.1.7.2014 and the pension revised accordingly. The Govt. specially the Hon'ble Prime Minister & Defence Minister should intervene and award justice to the Veterans of Defence Services.
When money will come to their account? Some one will file a case in the court to block the implementation and poor ex servicemen suffer.Govt. shall implement the the same and and changes can be done later.
when will the resolution be implemented
