SCPC: Raksha Mantri assures sympathetic and prioritised consideration of anomalies

You think you have the right/ wrong, good/ bad all prioritised...team of world-leading neuroscientists has developed a powerful technique that allows them to look deep inside a bureaucrat's brain and read his intentions before he prioritises the anomalies he has created.

Mr Rajeev Chandrasekhar, MP, who incidentally happens to be the son of a retired Air Commodore, has been taking keen interest on the resolution of 6th CPC anomalies. He had been following up the issue with the Raksha Mantri who has sent out a signal in the affirmative.

The Raksha Mantri has informed Mr Chandrasekhar that the Govt has already decided on restoration of higher pensionary weightage to Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBOR) and grant of Pay Band-4 to Lt Colonels and equivalent. It has also been stated by Mr Anthony that the issue of grant of HAG+ to ‘some’ Lt Generals was under consideration. The Raksha Mantri has also assured that all issues concerning the Armed Forces would be dealt with sympathetically and on priority.

There are also indications that a percentage of Lt Generals may get placed in HAG+ even before the setting up of the High Power Committee. Though everyone seems to be referring to it in the official circles, the modalities still remain a mystery of the much talked about grant of higher pensionary weightage to PBOR. When there were separate scales for each rank during the 5th CPC era, the pension of PBOR was fixed by taking into consideration the higher end of the scale, however now after the 6th CPC the lower end of the pay band is taken into account for calculation. Probably, to enhance the pensionary benefits to PBOR, the govt may just take the earlier higher end of the scale as a reference point for fixation of pension in the new pay band. But this is just a conjecture at the moment since nothing is known of what is in store as of now.
Raksha Mantri assures sympathetic and prioritised consideration of remaining anomalies (and HAG+ to Lt Gens may soon see light of the day)

Comment: The Supreme Court Ruling in the case of Maj Gens pension parity has been consigned to the files by MOD. We appreciate Raksha Mantri's affirmative confirmation to set at rest the anomalies of SCPC which got further bugged by Bureaucrats. Anomalies to be Prioritised? The concept is mind boggling! It seems to be a new Red Tape now entangled in a delay loop!
