Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday hinted at the possibility of the government approving the One Rank-One Pension scheme for retired armed forces personnel.
"In principal the Prime Minister had approved it on the fifteenth of the month," Parrikar said.
He also asked the protesting ex-servicemen to give the government some time to finalise it.
"The Prime Minister Office is personally taking interest in this issue. It will be sorted out soon," he added.
