Points from Members
11. Major RP Sehgal (M.No. 2563) has sent the following point:-
Reference was made to Minutes of AGM Nov 2018 para 12 where he had
requested that:-
“The matter should be taken up with appropriate authorities that all Major
With 13 years or more service and retired pre 1996 be given the pension of
The rank of Lt Col or let your legal expert advise me the course of action at
my end”. Please get the matter discussed in the AGM and the case taken
up with Govt or legally as decided.
Decision
12. Decision given during AGM Nov 2018 was:-
“We will await for the outcome of pre 1996 Major and equivalent getting
pension of Lt Col pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court before deciding
the future course of action”.
As the matter is sub-judice (still pending), our decision taken during AGM
2018 stands.
Any other Point with the Permission
of the Chair
13. Col. V K Ogra raised the point that the RDOA should take up a case with
MD, ECHS to build washroom/toilet in/near parking areas of ECHS Poly
clinics as there are no washroom facility for drivers over there. He
also
raised the point that since a number of retired officers keep visiting
their
children settled abroad where they often have to stay for longer periods
like
4 to 6 months. Since ECHS provides medicine for a maximum of 30 days it
becomes problem for such officers to purchase medicine in a foreign
country where generally medicines are very costly.
Decision
14.
The President assured to take up the case with MD, ECHS and HQ Delhi
Area to create this facility
at each parking area in general and ECHS Poly
clinic at Base Hospital, Delhi in particular.
15. Col Hardeep Sodhi. Raised the point that RDOA should take up a case
for enhancing the age of retirement for the rank of Colonel in Army from
54 to 57 on the lines of Navy.
Decision
16. The
President stated that since ours is an association for primarily taking
Care of concerns and welfare issues of retired defence officers it would
not
fall within the scope of our
concerns to take up issues relating to serving
officers.
17. Capt (IN) Krishan Kumar suggested that RDOA should organize
felicitation of Its senior members who are above 80 years.
Decision

so in future GBMs.
19. There were no further points from the
members.
