Dear Colleagues,
I recall some figures that may be of use in reinforcing our arguments in support of OROP and why it is relevant for only defence personnel.
Take an example of military vs. police service. Two young men of same age and same education background decide to join govt service. One joins military and the other the police. Both retire in their lowest rank of Sepoy/Constable. If they both are living today at the age of 75 years, then their total earning differential, to the disadvantage of the Sepoy would be rupees 47 lacs. The difference for a Naik/Head constable is 39 lacs. For Havildar/ASI it is 29 lacs. It carries on similarly. For a Sub Major/DSP it is 15 lacs.
Note: Figures as computed by our pension expert veteran Gen Surjit Singh
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM.
