The long-pending ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen is likely to be rolled out ahead of the Assembly polls in Bihar later this year, top government sources indicated on Tuesday.
The government is working out the modalities for OROP and the announcement will be made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they said.
“It (OROP) is being worked out. We will need to have a separate category so that it cannot be legally challenged later on and nor do others stake claim. This would be separate from other government pensions,” sources said.

Many of our viewers have demanded to place a Ready Reckoner (on implementation of 78.2% case) in this website. We prepared a Ready Reckoner for the pre-2007 retirees and submitted the same to Member (Finance), Telecom Commission. We did not place the same in this website as we were waiting for a definite decision. Even now, it may be little premature. Let the Cabinet decision and the formal order be known. The Ready Reckoner is available in page DA. Click on DA (above the photo at the top). Then, click on IDA. Click on Ready Reckoner. A Title will appear at the bottom left side like “ READY RECKO..” etc. If you click on it, an Excel Table will appear. Then type your old basic pension and see the results.

Note: the above Ready Reckoner is applicable to pre-2007 retirees only. A simple Ready Reckoner could be prepared for their case.

But, for those who retired on or after 1-1-2007 it is not so simple. Date of Retirement, Amount of increment received, Date of increments, promotion if any etc. etc. have to be taken into account individually to assess the benefit.

If anyone can help us to prepare a simple ready reckoner for post 2007 cases, it is welcome.
