"You have already heard the views of the ex-servicemen on the issue and this is just being the small incremental change that has taken place. It is not the final OROP (One Rank One Pension) that ex-servicemen are seeking. Only the fixation issues have been changed and much more work is still to be taken," the IAF Chief said here.
The government had announced a package of Rs 2,300 crore towards meeting the pension demands of the armed forces last month, but ex-servicemen groups and associations had expressed disappointment over the step and termed it as an eyewash.
The Services have been demanding anomalies and issues over pay and pension be addressed by the Centre and have been writing letters to it.
Recently, Defence Minister A K Antony had termed the Rs 2,300 crore package as an ongoing process towards meeting the OROP demand of ex-servicemen.
Asked about the reasons behind the mid-air collision involving two Mi-17 choppers where nine people were killed in Gujarat, Browne said prime facie it was due to error of one of the pilots in the two choppers.
There is very little scope for error in military aviation, he said.
Asked if the IAF agreed with the suggestion of having a permanent Chairman of Chiefs of Staff Committee, Browne said the Naresh Chandra Committee report in this regard has not yet been declassified.
"We have concurred with this proposal," he said, adding that the more important issue was that of integration of armed forces.
