Dear Brig,

While the facts stated by you in the mail are correct, your analysis/interpretation is incorrect & misleading as you have not looked into the future & implications of Fixed vs %age based DP.

You may like to consider :-

DP is given only after retirement calculated on the last pay drawn.(in 7CPC based on pay in the Matrix).

A person at the time of retirement will be, at least, at the highest time-scale rank with highest corresponding pay in the Matrix for that rank.

Almost all OR will retire at min Nk/Hav level with pay of 44-50000 in the Matrix. DP at 30% will be 13200 to 15000.

A JCOs retiring pay at max service will be 70-90000 with DP of 21000-27000.

Similarly ALL offrs will retire as Lt Col and above with pay range 150000-220000. DP above 45000.

In all am cases % age based DP is beneficial.

Not beneficial cases are likely to be- presently retired OR below Nk rank,presently retired offrs below Maj. Some Retiring Hon Lts. For All these cat of pers a protection clause as at present is required.

Also if & when a portion of DA (50 % etc) is merged with pay there would be corresponding substantial increase in DP in %ge based sys & NO increase if Fixed based.

Also if the Fixed system was beneficial the Civ/Police would have fought tooth & nail to get it, which thy have not!!!

The statements made by MOD on the issue are to confuse the affected pers & mislead all other. Babus are very clever & expert in misleading. Initially even the APPC were misled on the issue.

Rather than take the MOD side, we must fight to get at least parity with the Civ/CPOs in DP.
