Letters: Paying what's due | Business Standard
The government has taken the right decision to adopt the principle of "one-rank-one pension" for defence
personnel. However, it will be implemented from the next financial
year. Since it is a question of principle, there is a strong case for
making it applicable with retrospective effect. When salaries
are revised they are made effective from the date on which they were
due. The retired staff should get the benefit of arrears in lieu of past
payments (not made) with interest at the bank rate. It will undo the
injustice done to them by the denial of payments in the past.
