Armed Forces personnel, judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India get the benefit of the one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme. As the 8th Pay Commission is consulting stakeholders to prepare its report, many employee and pensioner bodies have prominently raised their demand that the OROP scheme should also be implemented for all central government Level 1-18 civilian employees.
C Srikumar, general secretary of the All India Defence Employees’ Federation (AIDEF), told ET Wealth Online that the OROP can end the disparity between the pensions of central government civil employees retired from the same designation at different times.
