PANAJI: The much-awaited "one rank,
one pension" (OROP) for the armed
forces is likely to be cleared in a few
days, defence minister Manohar
Parrikar said in Goa on Saturday.
"OROP proposal is in final stage. The
defence ministry has approved it
and the finance ministry will clear it
in a few days," he added.
He said it is the first time that a
clear proposal has been sent to
finance ministry on OROP.
An estimated Rs 8,000 crore is likely
to be allocated by the government to
fulfill its commitment to the over 25
lakh ex-servicemen, who have been
demanding OROP for several years.
