HOW MUCH HAS YOUR PENSION BEEN ENHANCED (INCL %age) ?
The much awaited tables have since been issued as part of implementation of the OROP. The Table for Officers are placed here in this post. The tables for Medicos are also hosted for our Doctor Fellow Veterans of Pre-2006 retirees. The tables for various types of Family Pensioners can also be accessed with links at the end of this post.
The Govt letter and detailed tables can be downloaded from http://www.desw.gov.in/sites/upload_files/desw/files/pdf/2016.02.03-OROP.pdf . The letter containing tables is a large pdf file of about 15 Mb. It has 205 pages incl 101 Appces of Various tables covering all aspects of pension for officers, JCOs & ORs and their equivalent ranks.
Look for the figure under your Rank and against the Number of years of actual service i.e the QS mentioned in your PPO. (Your service more than 3 months is to be counted as half year and more than
9 months is taken as full year. The rank weigtages are not to be added since these have been catered for in the figures of the pensions shown against the QS. The same can be well noticed for higher QS years showing similar figures of pension for the number of years equal to the rank weightage)
The figure is your basic pension wef 01 July 2014. Now deduct from this your current basic pension the difference will be your hike in pension for OROP. You will get arrears in 4 installments for the period starting 01 July 2014. These are shown in the table below for full pension.
Multiply the above derived difference by Maths Constant of "40.53" (INCREASE X 40.53 = Arrears) you will get the arrears receivable up to 31 JAN 2016. Similarly the total increase monthly as of date can be calculated by multiplying the increase/difference by 2.19 which is the current DA.
KNOW AS TO HOW OROP HIKES YOUR PENSION:- The Chart below pertains to the Service pension and the Ordinary family Pension in respect of Regular Officers of the Army Navy and IAF who have completed 33 Yrs and above of service before retirement incl rank weightage. For officers, with less service detailed tables may be checked which can be opened from the links given at the end of the post. ( check rank weightages under Qualifying Service in this blog). The tables issued by the PCDA (P) cater for the rank weightages While the service in the service column QS is actual service while the pension figures are already given for the service plus rank weightage for convenience.
COMMISSIONED OFFICERS (OTHER THAN AMC/ADC/RVC)
Notice the percentage increases in respect of the officer's retiring pension
Para 11 (a) of the Circular (MAJORS 21 YRS OF SERVICE)
a) The officers retired on or after 1.1.1996 in the rank of Major and who have completed
21 years of service have been allowed the pay of Lt.Col. Accordingly, pension of these officers
have been revised by issue of Corr. PPOs. It is therefore, requested to revise the pension of
post-96 Army Officer with rank Major and its equivalent in the Air Force and Navy who have
completed 21 years.
TABLE No 1 (RETIRING PENSION REGULAR OFFICERS)
PART - 1 (18 TO 25.5 Yrs OF QS)
Note - Lt Col (TS) and Lt Col (SG) are under the same Coln,
PART - 2 (26 YRS TO 33 YRS AND ABOVE OF QS)
Note - Lt Col (TS) and Lt Col (SG) are under the same Coln
TABLE CIRCULAR -500. This table gives the pension of Regular Officers as applicable before the OROP for ease of comparison with your Rank and QS.
This circular can be seen at http://www.pcdapension.nic.in/6cpc/Circular-500.pdf
COMMISSIONED OFFICERS - AMC/ADC/RVC
TABLE 2 - This table gives the Pension of Officers from AMC / ADC and RVC as below under the OROP Scheme. The OROP pension for them for 33 Yrs of Service and above is Rs 42500/- from Lt Col to Maj Gens. There has been no increase in pension under OROP for officers of the Ranks of Lt, Capt, Maj, and Lt Gens.
The Arreas shown above are for the period from 01 Jul 2014 to 31 Jan 2016 and will be paid by the PDAs in four equal instalments.
PCDA (P) Circular No 555 includes Table No 2, which gives detailed authorisation of OROP Pension for the Medical Officers based on their QS (Qualifying Service as mentioned in their PPOs).
Since under Cir-24 with addition of the NPA the pensions got enhanced by 25% and now under the OROP Scheme are to be enhanced further, these can only go up to the maximum of the Fitment Table equivalent of Notional Pay of Rs 79000/- under PB-4 ie just below the HAG+ Scale. Therefore in most cases the pensions reachs the max of Rs 42500/- much earlier for various ranks.
It will be seen that Lt Cols with QS of 22.5 and above, Cols and above with QS of 21.5 Yrs reach the maximum payable pension of Rs 42500/- per month.
In view of the above Lt Cols who left earlier stand to gain by getting the pension of a Lt Gen.
The method for calculations of hike and the arrears is same as mentioned above
There is no increase for the ranks as mentioned above at full service, however with lesser QS, there are increases under the OROP Scheme which can be seen.
The Arrears shown above are for the period from 01 Jul 2014 to 31 Jan 2016. These arrears will be paid to the Family Pensioners in one go.

ReplyDeleteThanks

Sir, Lt Col who retired in 2007 after QS 19 years 02 months on superannuary earned pen 27685, the total colour service of an officer is 37 years. The pen table for LT Col at 19 years QS is 26385 which is less than the original pen. Please illustarate wheather the officer is benefitted now under OROP and how much.
ReplyDeleteHaresh Patil
Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteA Simple Query - how does OROP Pen work out to be 76135/- for LT Col? I have not understood the calculation.
Basic Pension under OROP - 34765
ReplyDeleteAdd DA @ 119% = 41370
Add = 76135.35
Simple Isn't it ?
Haresh
ReplyDeleteCan you elaborate "on superannuary earned" to get 27685 as your basic pension for every one's benefit.
In your case you will continue to get the same pension unless you are re authorized the higher pension by the PSA.
Pleae do give your rank with your name so that I can address you back correctly please.
ReplyDeleteI want to know the basis on which the GoI has gone about to address the issue of pension of Majors and their equivalents with 20 years and plus service. Which Major retired in 2014 with 21 years of active service and what was or s his pension and what is the minimum and maximum of pension for the Rank of Majors after 20 plus years service, notwithstanding the fact that all officers now get the rank of Lt Col in 13 years time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the trouble of making it simple for all
ReplyDeleteThanks a great job done, which will bring cheer to all armed forces personnel.

ReplyDeleteWhat about a JWO with Only 20 year of service. Group X.as per table as is 24
ReplyDeleteShivani pl look up the next post where the pensions of JWOs is given . Look up Naib Subedar X Gp .in OROP TABLES PBORs.
ReplyDeleteJWO 20 yrs X Gp is 10480/- as basic wef 1 Jul 2014. In case his present pension is more he will continue the same.
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteI have total commissioned service of 20 years and retired as Wg Cdr (Select)and was absorbed in PSU(Air India) in 1987. I am not entitled for 7 years of weightage and also my pension is 50% of normal basic pension with full DR(that means that I get full DR on My Basic Pension).
Roughly at present my full basic pension is appx 16000 and I get actual pension 8000 plus DR 19000 appx (119% of basic pension 16000)-total pension being in the range of 27/28000. Could you help me in calculating my OROP now and also the arrears.
I shall be thankful, sir.
Wg Cdr N C Jain, Mumbai
Wg Cdr Jain, Its not clear whether you joined PSU after retirement or proceeded on deputation before retirement.
ReplyDeleteAny way your present pension as you say for 20 yrs of service without the rank weightage of 7 years is around Rs 16000/- ie Rs 15920/- to be exact (Just Check). Going by the same analogy under OROP your full pension for 20 yrs should be Rs21070/- as such 50% of 21070 = 10535/- would be your pension Plus DA on 21070/-. You can work out your arrears wef 01 Jul 2013 with the hike in your pension and DR as applicable.
Can any of reader help us to confirm the same for Wg Cdr Jain.
Thanks a lot, sir. Your reply is very clear and meets my requirement. I am sure it will also help my colleagues in the similar situation. Thanks once again.
ReplyDeleteRegards, Wg Cdr NC Jain (veteran).
Sir I retired as Major after 31 Yrs and 2 months Service( 19 years in ranks and 12 years as an officer (RCO). As per PCDA Circular aMaj with 21 yrs service will get pension of Lt col. What will be our pension after OROP.
ReplyDeleteIn the OROP tables 1 & 5 for officers, the pension for similar years of service for EC/SSC is more than PC officers. Any reason for this. For example officers of the rank of Major PC with 20 years of service has a pension of Rs.22830/- while EC/SSC Major's pension is Rs.26835/-. Is this error intentional to keep us faujis busy fighting the government in the courts.
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post and I have found it very helpful. Need not say that it meets my requirement. I am sure that it will also be helpful for my friends who are in the similar situation.
Thanks once again and regards.
