Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said the precise date for implementing ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen has not yet been decided.
“At this time, I can�t tell you the date precisely mainly because there are two-three steps – administrative steps – which have to be taken. But, be assured, that we will keep our promise,” Parrikar said on Friday while addressing a seminar.
OROP has been a long-standing demand of ex-servicemen�s associations and relates to payment of uniform pension to defence forces personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement. (ANI)
