Why are the demanding OROP?
- Uncertain future
- about 9 out of 10 retire from services between ages 34-48
- Soldiers, sailors, airmen at the lowest level are the hardest hit because after a near nomadic life in the armed forces, they most likely do not own too many assets, a home nor have an alternative income stream.
- They have no clear prospect of a second lease of working life either.
- But why do they retire early at first?
- Fighting fitness needed in forces --> Young blood needed
- Number of people affected
- ~25 lakh ex-servicemen and if dependents are also counted then about 3 times i.e. 70 lakh people.
- Modi is backing out
- Modi assured on the floor of Parliament and elsewhere, that OROP was a settled matter and the solution had his imprimatur.
- SC favoured ORP in 1982!
- Financial need is small only - 8300 cr.
