Respected all Seniors
Please implement 7th CPC to the Armed forces as soon as possible.. as many are expecting since it’s implementation in all Government sector except armed forces which are creating a confusion and morale down for force.. specially to the Jawans as there is no change is going to happen in pay scales of Jawans ..
RAM says
Implementation of option 1 to pre 2016 retirees is long overdue .7CPC recommended this and Cabinet accepted for implementation .The benefit is more or less in line with the schemes of modified parity of pension implemented by Govt after 5 & 6 CPC.Pre 2016 pensioners are happy about the serving employees getting higher allowances shortly..They are also happy about implementation of OROP scheme.to the fighting forces..The pre 2006 retirees are a dwindling lot..Let them enjoy the benevolence in good time.
