Bahri,
...Dear Veteran (Gen.) Bahri, <br /> Regards and thanks for the pain taken to draw the attention of the authorities towards the travails of the Veterans, specially Pre-2006. Sir, if you are net-savy, you must have noted the feelings of informed veterans among the under- privileged section ( Sub.Maj. and below).I shall not use the misfit term 'PBOR' coined by some mischief monger ( to be used for all ranks- Sub. Maj. and below ) who knew not that Sub. Majors, Subedars and Naib Subedars are, all, Junior Commissioned officers, where as Havildars and Naiks are Senior Non-commissioned Officers and it is not justified to address them as 'PBORs' i.e. Personnel Below Officer Rank.Through you, I shall, humbly, request all not to use the term 'PBORs'. We have already requested Centre Govt. to find out some other suitable and respectable word to replace this sluggish term. About the Joint Memorandum, I have the following two points to draw your attention.<br /><br />1. The authors of Joint Memorandum dt. 14-10- 2009, of which you are the Convener, submitted to Hon'ble Prime Minister and others have forgotten to stress upon point of pension @70 % and 60 % for Sub. Maj. and below, which the Govt. has accepted along with Change of Pay Band from PB-3 to PB-4 for Lt Col. It may be due the fact that enough energy was consumed on stressing the demand of Lt. Col. and the authors were now much tired and thought it better to keep quite on this point in a bid to utilize their energy for other points relating to offr. cadre. 2. Secondly, Sub. Major and their equivalents in other two services, presently in Pay Band, PB-2 justifiably deserve to be placed in pay Band PB-3 and Hav. and their equivalents, presently in Pay Band , PB-1 along with Class IV employees to be placed in Pay Band,PB-2 as their civilian counter-parts drawing same, or even less, pay in 5th CPC have been placed in upper Pay Bands. <br /> <br />Veteran Prabhjot Singh Chhatwal PLS Retd.
