Central government employees to get OROP benefits: 7th Pay Commission chief

Central government employees to get OROP benefits: 7th Pay Commission chief
 

Jodhpur (Rajasthan): The 7th Pay Commission has recommended One Rank One Pension (OROP) for all Central government employees.

Briefing ANI about the recommendations, 7th Pay Commission chairman Justice (Retd) A K Mathur on Wednesday said it appears that the report has been accepted in toto.

He said the One Rank, One Pension is one of the peculiar recommendations made to the government which has not been given so far.

“Though the army employees used to get the One Rank One Pension, but the civilians will also get the same One Rank, One Pension. This is a very peculiar feature. No pay commission gave that,” he added.

Justice (Retd) Mathur said the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission will involve an additional expenditure for the government in terms of 1, 02,100 crores.

“That will include the increase in the pay structure, allowances as well as the pension for the retired employees. The peculiar feature of this report is that we have done away with the grade pay and given an open metric system,” said Justice (Retd) Mathur.

“It will be a very transparent system. The people will know where they stand. We have given them the entire manner in which they can find out their place in the metrics and after that they can determine their pay,” he added.

Justice (Retd) Mathur further said there are various allowances including house rent, transport, children’s education.

“A person who enters in the government service can reasonably expect to get about 24,000 per month. We have also recommended that the government employees should be covered by health insurance for everybody,” he said.

“We have also made a recommendation that the educational allowance should also be increased. We have also made a recommendation for very good allowances and perks for the army personnel. We have also given all paramilitary forces almost identical benefits as are given to the defence personnel,” he added.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the recommendations will be implemented from 1st January this year. He said, the Pay Commission covers 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners.

The Minister said the entry level salary for government employees will be 18000 rupees against the existing 7000 rupees per month.

Jaitley said based on minimum pay, fitment factor of 2.57 has been approved for revising pay of all employees uniformly across all levels.

The Minister informed that 7th Pay Commission recommendations on Allowances will be referred to a Committee headed by the Finance Secretary.

Wait for final OROP order for clarity: Parrikar

Wait for final OROP order for clarity: Parrikar

Mumbai: With confusion surrounding who among the retirees will get the benefits of One Rank One Pension, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today asked all those concerned to wait for the final order, which will “explain it properly”.

“You have to wait for the final order (on OROP) which will come. Why is there so much excitement till then the PM has made it amply clear that those who are being allowed to retire through proper procedure will not be (adversely) impacted. You need to wait for the exact wording,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an Engineers’ Conclave.

He also clarified that the concept of ‘Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) does not exist in the Armed Forces.

“In the Armed Forces even if you apply, you may not get voluntary retirement, unlike (in) civilian (service), where you can get it. In the Armed Forces, you can be refused. There are many people who because of health reasons apply and the Armed Forces also want them to retire and, if that happens before the minimum service requirement, then they don?t get pension.

“We will explain this properly, no one should unnecessarily create confusion on it,” Parrikar said.
Parrikar said many things needed to be considered before Rs 8000 crore is sanctioned for implementing OROP.

“A lot of things have to be considered before sanctioning Rs 8,000 crore…it is not a matter of Rs 8. There were a lot of issues involved with it, why blame someone? It is very easy to say that give it (money), but when one has to give the money, it is not easy,” he said.

He was asked whether differences between bureaucracy and the political leadership had delayed the announcement.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had yesterday said those who had had to quit the defence forces prematurely would also be entitled to OROP benefits.
