Orders issued for pensionary benefits
to ex-servicemen.
New Delhi, Mar 10 (PTI) .
In a move that will bring relief to over 12 lakh ex-servicemen,
the Defence Ministry has issued orders to implement pending
pensionary benefits to them involving an annual expenditure
of about Rs 2,200 crore.
The decision followed recommendations by a high-level
committee and recent assurance in this regard in the Lok
Sabha by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
With these orders, the ministry has implemented all the
seven recommendations of committee headed by Cabinet
Secretary K M Chandrasekhar on pensions, which would
now be close to the 'One Rank-One Pension' demand of
ex-servicemen, senior ministry officials said today.
"The Defence Ministry issued the orders on March 8 this year
to implement the remaining two of the seven suggestions of
the Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar-headed committee
on 'One Rank-One Pension' demand," they said.
