Dear Sir,
This has reference to your letter dated 14th June, 2010 addressed to Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson, UPA, regarding grant of One Rank One Pension to Armed Forces Veterans and other related issue.
2. The matter has been examined. An appeal (IA No. 9/2010) has been field in the Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking modification of its order dated 08 March 2010. The case is scheduled for hearing on 24.2.2011. As the issue affects pay /pension of many serving as well as retired officers, the decision of the Hon'ble Court is awaited.
3. As regards grant of One Rank One Pension, a Committee under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary was set up to look into the demand of One Rank One Pension and related issues. Although the Committee did not recommend One Rank One Pension, substantial improvement in the pension of Commissioned Officers and PBORs have been recommended. All orders implementing the recommendations of the committee have since been issued vide MOD's letters dated 30/10/2009, 19/01/2010, 20/1/2010 and 08/3/2010.
With best regards,
Yours Sincerely,
