New Delhi, 03 February 2016
The Government of India had taken the historic decision to
implement OROP in November, 2015. This fulfilled the long standing demand of
the Defence Forces personnel after 42 years and benefited over 18 lakh
ex-servicemen and war widows.
In pursuance of the order issued on 07/11/2015, detailed
instructions alongwith OROP Tables have been issued today.
• The annual recurring financial implication on account of
implementation of OROP at the current rate will be approximately Rs. 7500
crore.
• The arrears from 01/07/2014 to 31/12/2015 would be
approximately Rs. 10,900 crore.
• 86 percent of the total expenditure on account of OROP
will benefit the JCOs/ORs.
• Payment of arrears and revision of pension under OROP is
to be made by the Pension Disbursing Authorities in four installments, except
for family pensioners and pensioners in receipt of gallantry awards who will be paid arrears in one installment.
• The total increase in the Defence Budget for pensions is
estimated to go up from Rs. 54,000 crore (BE 2015-16) to around Rs. 65,000
crore (proposed BE 2016-17), thereby increasing the Defence Pension Outlay by
about 20 percent.
