Why OROP is a key demand for L1-18 employees

economictimes.indiatimes.com ·2h ago

The central government's Level 1-18 civilian employees are demanding the implementation of the one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme, similar to the one enjoyed by Armed Forces personnel, Supreme Court and High Court judges, and Comptroller and Auditor General of India. This demand has come to light as the 8th Pay Commission is currently consulting stakeholders to prepare its report.

Employee and pensioner bodies, such as the All India Defence Employees’ Federation (AIDEF) and the All India New Pension Scheme Employees’ Federation, have raised this issue prominently.
