To,
All Members And ESM Organisations
On Emailing List of "Report My Signal".
Dear Friends,
Jai Hind.
An email received from Lt Gen Raj Kadyan, Chairman IESM, giving IESM SITREP for 14 Jul 09, is reproduced below.
Secondly.
Large numbers of members have sent me news cuttings about Raksha Mantri's statement in Lok Sabha on 13 Jul 09, regarding OROP.
I am not circulating these news cuttings as there is major confusion in these statements.
The facts and figures that have been stated by the FM and RM, do not match.
For example -
A - FM stated that annual allocation of Rs 2100 crore has been made to meet OROP for 12 lakh PBOR.
If you divide Rs 2100 crore by 12 lakh that gives the average figure each PBOR will get annually. The amount is Rs 17,500.00.
Further dividing this figure by 12 gives the monthly average amount a PBOR will get on the name of OROP; the monthly amount works out to Rs 1,458.00.
This amount cannot meet the OROP requirement, which is few thousand rupees per PBOR.
B - RM stated the figure as 1.3 million (13 lakh), and OROP for all ESM, including officers.
Therefore, either the amount quoted of Rs 2100 crore is wrong OR on the name of OROP some bluff is being played.
IESM is trying to get clarification on the above statements made by FM and RM.
Therefore, do not trust these news paper articles till the Govt issues the revised pension of Defence personnel or we receive clarification from the Raksha Mantri.

Have the veteran core committee members Maj Gen Radha Krishnan,AVM RP Mishra,Rear Adm Sushil Ramsay been contacted to get any kind of clarification after the budget announcement by FM and later by the RM? This team must continue mounting pressure at appropriate power corriders with whom they are fully acquainted.IESM,IESL and other influential Veteran Orgs have to continue with their relentless efforts not only on PIP/OROP but on PARITY IN DIS-ABILITY PENSION (pre& post2006)too.
