Supreme Court Rebukes Centre for Delay in One Rank One Pension Payments, Sets Final Deadline
The High Court on Tuesday rapped the Middle over deferring the One Position One Benefits installments. The court conceded a last an open door to the Association government, setting a cutoff time of November 14 to take a choice on the issue.
A SC seat, headed by Equity Sanjiv Khanna, requested the service from the guard to store costs worth Rs 5 lakh with the military government assistance reserve. “On the off chance that the public authority isn’t doing anything, I can do nothing. This doesn’t give comfort to these officials,” the court told Extra Specialist General Aishwarya Bhati.
The case relates to the non-installation of benefits payable to standard skipper rank officials on the execution of One Position One Annuity (OROP).
The top court’s harsh words came as Bhati let the seat know that the service has not yet taken a choice regarding this situation. “We are chipping away at it, yet I’m sorry no choice has occurred,” the ASG said. To this, the court said: “We are forcing an expense of Rs 10 lakh.”
Bhati, be that as it may, mentioned three months to determine the issue, following which the SC requested that the service store Rs 5 lakh costs.
The issue began with the presentation of the OROP plot in 2015, which planned to level the annuities of current and past retired folks. Because of the absence of legitimate information for the positions of customary commanders and majors—tthe base position for retirement with pensionable assistance is lieutenant colonel—ooddities emerged in the annuity tables.
Accordingly, the protection service named a ‘one man legal panel’ (OMJC) in 2016, which suggested that this peculiarity ought to be settled. In spite of this, no choice was made.

In this way, the Kochi and Chandigarh seats of the Military Court (Rearward) guided the service to determine the oddity in light of the OMJC proposals in a period-bound way. Rather than carrying out the judgment, the service tested the rearward’s choice in the SC.
Indeed, even in the wake of being allowed different open doors by the SC to determine the abnormality, the service neglected to make a move in areas of strength for prompting. In 2022, a seat communicated its dismay with the protection service for recording numerous requests against the handicap benefits of contrastingly abled fighters in issues previously settled by the high courts and the SC.
