OROP : Govt worked out details, likely to announce within a couple of days

The Narendra Modi government is set to announce the one-rank, one pension package that will kick in from July 2014 ‎and use 2013 as the base year for calculations.
But it will stick to its position on a five year reset clause for veterans — as against 10 years for civilians — factoring in the complications resulting from a quicker adjustment. The ex-servicemen had demanded an annual adjustment.
The pension for veterans of the same rank and those who retire with full pensionable service, will be the average of the maximum and minimum paid. But to protect any retired servicemen from losing out, there will be an additional safeguard to ensure that those who are already drawing above the average would not impacted.
