I served in Army for 33 years and retired in the Rank of Sub Maj on 01 Dec 2014. Personnel retired before 01 Jul 2014 are getting more pension from me. I have been awarded Hony Lt after retirement but no benefits given to us. I request to Hon’ble prime Minister, Defence Minister and Finance Minister to consider our Pension in the the Rank of Hony Lt beside not giving other benefit given to Hony Lt awarded during active service.
Sir,
Pay commission has very cleverly formed the matrix table for level 7, 8, and 9 if you see the table same values are available in all three levels that means on promotion you take just one increment , shifting you to level 8 does carry any financial benefit in same goes when you get a promotion in Level 8. It govt wants it can merge level 7 ,8 and 9 and let the individual keep getting promotional increments in Level 7 itself. Further other than this increment no other kind or cash benefits acrued by promotion from Nd Sub to Sub major and you know how many hurdles individual has pass through for getting these promotions. I understand Nb Sub to Sub Maj promotions deserve much more rewards than what 7cpc has given. Pl look into it to enhance dignity of rank.
Sir I served in Indian Army 24yrs and 15 days .Through good service and recommended for honorary rank . But not given honorary Nb/sub . What is the reason ,where I complied for getting honorary rank.
Sergeant holding the same rank for 15 yrs & more, even after clearing the JWO promotion examination, with clean document record and assessment retires after completing 26+ service in 1998 without any further promotion, due to reason – no vacancy. As the compensation is being given to personal retiring at later date, the same may be made effective to previous pensioner also. This might justify the disperity.
I have already suggested to use correct form for Junior Commissioned Officer and other rank ie. JCOs & OR and not PBOR as JCOs are class II gazetted Officer. The matter be resolved and ban all sites which are using PBOR terminology.
GOVT IS GOING TO LISTEN ONLY OFFICERS. STILL PBORs ARE SLAVES OF THEIR OFFICERS. STILL THAT RULES ARE RUNNING. NO ONE DARED TO CHANGE THE BRITISH RULES.POINTS OF PBORs RELATED TO SALARY AND ALLOWANCES ARE NOT FORWARDED BY OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT THAT PBORs SHOULD GET GOOD PAYMENT.
NOTHING WHAT IS USE OF WEEPING IN FRONT OF DEAF GOVERNMENT AND SELFISH OFFICERS. WE CAN NOT GET RID OF SLAVERY. FINISH THE HOPES AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS GAME OF DESTINY WITH WE PBORs.
I don’t find it an issue to correct as suggested even if there is a government order or not on this.but who will correct the various sites which still say”pay matrix officers and pay matrix PBORS. My point here was that the pension of the senior most rank of a junior commissioned officer(subedar major “A”group)with 20 years and 8 months of qualifying service as on 01/01/2016 as per 6th pay commission was only inr 8777.00 which might be around half of the minimum pension of a junior officer.(Lt/Capt).
My suggestion is either to remove or to minimise the difference in pay/pension of a senior most junior commissioned officer and a junior officer so that a a correspondingly reasonable remuneration may reach to all junior commissioned officers and other ranks.
Ministry of Defence has accepted a long-pending demand of ex-servicemen to drop the use of the term ‘Personnel Below Officers Rank’ (PBOR) in official communication.
A letter to this effect has been issued to all command headquarters of the Army, Air Force and Navy.
Henceforth, in official communication, soldiers will be referred as Other Ranks (Sepoy, Naik and Havildar), Junior Commissioned Officers (Hony Naib Subedar, Naib Subedar, Subedar, Subedar Major) and Officers (Lieutenants and above. Still you are using PBOR. Correct yourself
