NDTV reports: Days after the government announced the One Rank One Pension Scheme for ex-servicemen, the men in the Indian Police Service too say they want the same thing.

In a presentation to the Seventh Pay Commission this week, they have argued that the police "is a uniformed service, it must also be brought under the One Rank One Pension Scheme recently offered to the defence services."

Besides arguing that police officers who have retired in 2006 are drawing less pension than junior officers who retired after 2006, the police have pointed out that 4,000 police personnel died and over 3,500 were injured in the line of duty in 2013 alone. In 2014, more than 3,000 police personnel died. In contrast, 201 soldiers and officers of the armed forces were killed between 2012 and 2015 (till August 3).

Pointing to the work pressure, the police said, in 2013, it has registered 66,40,378 fresh cases and caught over 74,20,000 people for various crimes.
