Parrikar Asks MoD Officials to Evolve A Policy for Reducing Court Cases on Pensions


The Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar has directed MoD officials to evolve a policy for reducing court cases in service matters including pensions. In a message on the occasion of the Good Governance Day today, he said, minimization of litigation is a priority and that issues of cantonments pertaining to land management and civilian interface should also be resolved without delay.

Following is the full text of the message of the Defence Minister:

“The Government of India is celebrating 25th December as Good Governance Day. Ministry of Defence takes pride in joining this occasion for bringing in transparency and accountability in its working. Greater emphasis is being given to the use of technology in order to make the system prompt and efficient and to bridge the divide between the Government and the citizens

Ministry of Defence has adopted a number of Good Governance initiatives like promoting e-Governance, e-Procurement, Biometric Attendance, Jeevan Pramaan, Digitization of records, online disposal of Public Grievances and use of online monitoring of the status of Court/Tribunal/NHRC cases. An Intra-MoD Portal has been developed for supporting these applications in the Ministry.

Directorate General of Defence Estates have made good progress in digitization of Defence Land records. History division of the Ministry has also digitized War Records. Several other digitized records viz. Recruitment Rules, civil lists etc are likely to be placed on our website very soon.

This Ministry is committed to early implementation of One Rank One Pension for the Armed Forces and measures are being taken for the same. 
Minimization of litigation is a priority and I have instructed the concerned officers to evolve a policy for reducing court cases in service matters including pensions
as well as in issues of cantonments pertaining to land management and civilian interface.

The Public Grievances are being forwarded to the concerned officers using online methods. In this context, I have directed all concerned to accord utmost importance to time- bound disposal of Public Grievances in the Ministry as also regular monitoring of the pendency of Public Grievances by senior officers.

I welcome you all to join this celebration and invite your valuable suggestions and ideas to further the cause of Good Governance. You may post/send your ideas on our email nic-asst.mod@nic.in.”

  2. It is not known as to why the implementation of OROP is so much delayed.There would not be any confusion if the maximum of Band Pay+GP+MSP is made the notional pay to fix pension for 33 yrs of service for both pre and post 2006 retirees.

    We are a 200 CR Pvt Ltd Travel company in the name of Wings Travels Management (I) Pvt Ltd. We are currently catering Radio Taxi, Car Rental, Visa, Travel and Tourism in Maharashtra, AP, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat etc. We are now planning to start our business in North India. The base office will be in Chandigarh.

    We want to start a new initiative scheme only for ex-servicemen and the widows/dependents of them. The scheme will be "Chaalak hi Maalak". They have to pay a down payment of Rs.1 lac and we will provide them a brand new car which will be used as a Radio Taxi Service in Chandigarh. They will get business from us. We will provide them bookings through call center, mobile application or online facility. We will provide them an Android application on their mobile handsets which will help them getting bookings. Also the machanism is working on the GEO Fence and GEO Coding with the help of GPS. After completion of three years we will transfer the vehicle to the ex-servicemen. After that they will be the single owner of the car and their future earnings will be secured.

    We will also generate the employment opportunities for the dependents and widows of ex-servicemen. We want all the staff of Chandigarh office to be hired from Armed Forces.

    I am also from Indian Air Force Family. My father Hon Flg Offr K J Kumar AFSO got retired from Pune, 2 Wing in 2012 after completion of 38 years of service.
