The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme introduced by the Central government through its notification of November 7, 2015
Under file from the Supreme Court for its “hyperbole” on the One Rank One Pension (OROP) policy for the armed forces, the Centre has told the Supreme Court that both “same rank” and “same length of service” are necessary conditions for availing of OROP benefits.
Grilled by the Supreme Court on One Rank One Pension (OROP) in the armed forces, the Centre has told it that OROP is to bridge the gap between the rates of pension of current and past pensioners.
Supreme Court the Centre to place before it as to how many persons in the Armed forces have received Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP), how many are in Assured Career Progression (ACP), and what would be the financial outlay, if the court directs MACP to be also factored in for OROP.
