Pension improvement
is an ongoing process. Considerable improvements have been made in the
pensions of armed forces personnel.
A Committee was set up under the Chairmanship of Cabinet
Secretary to look into the issue of 'One Rank One Pension and other related
matters'. After considering all aspects of the matter, the Committee did not
find it feasible to recommend One Rank One Pension. However, keeping in mind
the spirit of the demand, several other recommendations to substantially
improve pensionary benefits of Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR) and
Commissioned Officers were made, which have been accepted by the Government
and orders in implementation of all the recommendations have been issued.
These are available at www.pcdapension.nic.in. Implementation of these
orders has not only significantly reduced the gap between the past and the
current pensioners but has also considerably improved the pension of
ex-servicemen including disabled ex-servicemen.
As per yearly statement of booking of Defence Pension
Expenditure during year 2009-10 & 2010-11, the entire amount allotted for
Defence Pension Expenditure has been booked in full and no amount is lying
unspent.
This information was given by Minister of State for
Defence Shri MM Pallam Raju in a written reply to Shri Jyoti Mirdha and
others in Lok Sabha today.
