After introduction of 6th CPC orders, Service pension/ Service Element is calculated on the basis of last pay drawn and qualifying service has no specific role in determination of Service Pension/ Service Element i.e. same is calculated on the basis of 50% of the emoluments last drawn.

Accordingly Revision of SERVICE ELEMENT and WAR INJURY ELEMENT under OROP (circular No.555 dated 04.02.2016) will be carried out on the basis of actual Qualifying service rendered by the individual.
5. All other terms and conditions shall remain unchanged.
