Majs who came from ranks and served more then thirty years including commissioned service are getting pension of twenty two years as per orop tables. Before the orop they were getting pension for twenty five years. For example, I have served thirty two years and eight months. However, my pension is equal to a maj who served for twenty two years and equal to a new commissioned maj with a service of six years
For calculation of pensio lengthof service is counted whatever one has served and his last rank. Why only for majs these rules are not followed. Hope your honour will be agree with me and we will get justice.
Thanks.

After going through the orop table No 7, it is comes out that in the various ranks length of service increasing but pension is not increasing. For example a Nk of 15 yrs service pension is Rs 7170/-pm and a Nk whose service is 20 yrs and more but pension is same equal to 15 yrs of service ie Rs 7170/-pm only. No importance of length of service is given.
