1. The STRONGEST OPPOSITION is from VETERANS ON ROLLS OF ALL BANKS DISBURSING PENSIONS. Shocked? Each bank employs Veterans of Ranks Retd Lt Generals as in SBI, Major Generals and Brigadiers to head their Defence Departments. These are high paying kushi jobs.
2. Senior most Veteran in these banks sits in the Corporate HQ, hires his lower hierarchy from retired officers. The perks and salary is excellent besides pension. Car, Rent, Loans etc. is a dream job. Their task? GET AS MANY PENSIONERS as possible. Extend loans and increase biz.
3. Banks CHARGE Ministry of Defence Rs 800/- per pensioners account. Each has a ‘Centralised Pension Processing Centre’ e.g. Bank of India in Nagpur, SBI in Belapur etc. If a bank disburses One lac pensions, it earns Rs 8 Cr from MoD budget. 34 lac pensioners of MoD.
Will make an exception. I will use your tweet to make a point. 1. You seem to be a senior veteran made out by ‘Tam Marte Quam Minerva’, your handle that means’as much by war as by wisdom’ the motto of Pakistan Staff College, Quetta. 2. Are you person of Pakistani origin?
3. Of Indian and a veteran who is an ESM and held a high rank in service, which is very probable, then why hide identity? 4. Forces Widows issue seems to have hit you hard because you have no idea of widows of your own unit. 5. You again have no idea of inequality in pension.
6. You have absolutely no idea since you never were concerned. You are pained since when this issue comes on social media, you look silly. 7. Did you follow the poll on Pensions of Forces Widows? Obviously you did. That’s why the pain. 7. Did you read one Retired ......
1. Sir, you combine all or you let them remain separate, question is does military have its ‘mind’ for such big concepts? 1. Three Strike Corps have consumed lacs of crores since raising and the Light Tanks are Eureka moment now. 2. Two front war was alien term till last June.
2. With numerous Armoured Corps Chiefs and Army Commanders, the Infantry glitterati in Northern and Eastern Command, Retired and on social media, did anyone ever suggest abrogation of 370? Ways to end Insurgency? Military’s macro and micro understanding is extremely limited.
3. ‘Vision’ needs to be backed by conviction. If you have vision and conviction, you will certainly not have a rank. Army is always about getting next promotion. When complete energy is focused on getting rank, where does vision and conviction go? Military is about ....
My deep study of the Disability mess of Army Jawans led me to study the whole system from 'womb to tomb'. Surprisingly it came out and fitted so correctly in the Management Principle propounded by me. Retired Generals and Lt Generals cannot impact or influence the system.
The worrying part is what use are these ranks when they have no impact on the system, which everyone proclaims to be existing? This is the effect of 'Relevantly-Irrelevant'. Entire system is investing their time, effort and energy into keeping the current practice alive.
There is little or no corruption. There is that deep desire to keep the system alive since it feeds thousands with white money. Where is the 'RAW MATERIAL'? or rather WHO is the raw material? Its the DISABLED. Will the system feed thousands if this raw material finishes?
1. #RelevantlyIrrellevant Relevantly Irrelevant is the result of the organisations ever changing manipulative policies to pull up the preferred while making them generic. Irrelevant people occupy relevant positions reaffirming manipulative policies. This has long term effects.
2. #RelevantlyIrrellevant While the base has complete pool of people representing different ages, the merit among them is different. The ‘irrelevant’ who are pulled up the chain in promotions 24X7 devise ways to model policies to create rules that only the preferred group clears.
3. #RelevantlyIrrellevant The basic aim being to completely block the people outside the preferred group. Merit has no place. A non-meritorious and non-performing but ‘preferred’ person gets through while leaving the highly meritorious behind. Soon the bulk is blocked.
