OROP notification will be issued after Bihar polls: Manohar Parrikar
New Delhi, Oct 26 (IBNS): Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday said the notification to clarify the modalities of One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme will be issued after the Bihar Assembly elections.
"We will try to issue the notification after Bihar elections but will try to do it before Diwali," Parrikar told mediapersons.
The notification was scuttled by the Election Commission keeping in mind the five-phased Bihar polls.
The last phase of the election will be held on Nov 5.
OROP was a key promise made by Prime Minister Narenrda Modi when he was campaigning for last year's national election. It will give the same pension to ex-servicemen who retired many years ago as that which soldiers of the same rank retiring now draw.
