Chandigarh: Anomalies in salaries and pensions of lower defense services are often highlighted, but striking anomalous problems related to the incompatibility of salaries between the ranks of the military, the main general and above, have been delayed for years now.
The central government has failed to overcome anomalies where the senior ranking officer paid lower salaries and pensions than their juniors.
In certain cases, even Colonel draws more than Lieutenant-General.
The core of the anomaly is the addition of the Military Pay Pay (MSP) component, equal to RS 15,500, for the salary of officers until the rank of Brigadier.
After the rank of Brigadier, while the components are on the ballabit and added to the promotion for ranking above the main general, the same thing is not added as a separate element, as a result from which lower ranking officers are paid more than higher.
While Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel and Brigadier can be paid until Rs 2,26,200, each Rs 2,29,500 and Rs 2.33,100 per month, after adding MSP components, the deputy chief of the Army staff cannot be paid more than Rs 2.25,000.
With the addition of special components, the salary scale of senior officers from Lieutenant-Colonel to Brigadier surpassed those who General General to Lieutenant-General.
Sources at the Ministry of Defense (MOD) said that then the Defense Minister Arun Jaitley had overcome anomalies but the file was reportedly closed by officers from the Ministry of Finance without referring him to him.
Then, this case was again initiated but was jammed by many questions by the Ministry of Finance, called sources ‘tiring and outside context’.
Another related problem is that retirement where even though there is a protection clause, many generals paid retirement lower than their juniors.
Explaining this problem, a mod officer said that while clauses protect the retirement of the main Vis-à-Vis Brigadiers to a certain extent, it did not protect higher rankings and even existing protection had become excessive to retire after 2016 with hundreds of retired generals who received The lower retirement than what can be accepted, adds that the ministry is trying the best to sort the problem, with the situation that anomaly on his face.
The source shows that while it is accepted that there is an urgent need to implement the high court direction that passed almost two years ago, no one took responsibility or showed the way about how or who would do it, while the affected impact, while the impact was temporarily affected, while The affected impact, while those affected by officers suffered losses every month.
