At some places, Armed Forces Formations and Units also arrange variety of shows, carnivals, dramas and other entertainment programme. 8. Collections made on 7th December are pooled into one fund known as Armed Forces Flag Day Fund and Amalgamated Special Fund at the Centre and States respectively. The Fund is operated by a Managing Committee presided over by the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri at the Centre and by the Governor/Lt Governor of States/UTs. The Committee lays down the general policy and decides about the allocation of funds for various measures connected with the welfare of ex-servicemen and their families. These funds are properly managed, audited and accounted for. Donations are exempt from Income Tax in the hands of the donar. 9. It is pertinent to mention that the Centre is given only a very small share of the Flag Day Fund collections made by each State/UT. The Centre's share is only one paisa per individual of the population of each State/UT. This is forwarded by RSB to KSB on 1 Jan each year. 88 Appendix "Q" WELFARE SCHEMES/CONCESSIONS FROM SERVICE HQs TO SERVICE PERSONNEL/ESM, WIDOWS AND DEPENDENTS ARMY HEADQUARTERS 1.

G. and Pensions Department of Personnel & Training New Delhi, the 1st Dec 1994 OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject :- Reservations available for ex-Servicemen in Group D, C and specified categories of Group B posts/services under the Central Government - Revised procedure for filling the vacancies. The Government had been considering the method of effecting the available reservation for exservicemen in the light of judgement of the Supreme Court in Indira Sawhney case. 2. The Court has held that reservation for SC/ST/OBCs made under Article 16(4) of the Constitution may be called vertical reservation and the reservation made under Article 16(1) of the Constitution like the reservation for physically handicapped persons as horizontal reservation. Horizontal reservations cut across vertical reservation (in what is called inter-locking reservation) and the person selected against these reservations has to be placed in the appropriate category, that is to say, if he belongs to SC category he will be placed in that quota by making necessary adjustment and similarly if he belongs to open competition (OC) category he will be placed in that category by making necessary adjustment. Even after proving for these horizontal reservations, the percentage of reservation in favour of backward class of citizen should remain the same. 3. In the light of the above said observations of the Supreme Court, it has been decided that the percentage of reservation for ex-Servicemen should remain the same as at present. An ex-Serviceman selected under the reservation provided for them should be placed in the appropriate category viz. SC/ST/OBC/General category depending upon the category which he belongs. For example, an exServiceman who is an SC will be counted against SC reservation point, an ex-Serviceman who is ST or OBC will be counted against ST/OBC reservation point and the ex-Serviceman who belongs to General category will be slotted in the General category vacancy point in the respective reservation roster. 4. All the Ministries/Departments are requested to bring the above instructions to the notice of all the heads of the Department and appointing authorities under their control for necessary compliance. Necessary amendment to the Ex-Servicemen {Re-employment in Central Civil Services and posts} Rules, 1979 are being issued separately. Sd/(BHAVANI THYAGARAJAN) DIRECTOR (JCA) Copy to:-1.

Yours faithfully, Sd/Officer of Special duty (I.T.A.I.) 107 Appendix "A-1" Government of India Ministry of Defence Kendriya Sainik Board West Block Iv, Wing No.V R K Puram, New Delhi-66 05 Mar 2001 No.102/FA/KSB/D Directors/ Secretaries Deptts of Sainik Welfare / Rajya Sainik Board Treatment of Ex-servicemen for Serious Diseases in Civil Hospitals: Procedure to be followed 1 .Further to our letter of even number dated 07 Jan’ 2000. 2.. Of late it has been observed that the laid down procedure is not being followed by the ex-servicemen for claiming financial assistance for the treatment of serious diseases .Circulars to this effect are being issued by this office time and again but perhaps due to lack of awareness, the correct procedure is not being followed by ex-servicemen. Recently above circular was issued according to that any of the ex-servicemen/ dependent who needs financial assistance from Kendriya Sainik Board will first report to the nearest service hospital with the ex-servicemen Identity Card issued by the Zila Sainik Board concerned. In case, the treatment in respect of the diseases, be referred to the civil hospital of the individual choice, which is on the approved list of the Kendriya Sainik Board. In case of emergent nature of the case when there is not enough time to report to the nearest hospital, the case may be submitted to this office after being satisfied as to the genuineness of the case along with an emergency certificate. This should be more as an Exception than routine. 3 .Kendriya Sainik Board has empanelled so many civil hospitals throughout the country to provide treatment to the ex-servicemen/ their cancer and TURP etc. The package rates have also been fixed with those hospitals. In case an ex-servicemen goes to the empanelled hospital after package rates and out of which 75% / 90% in case of officers / PBORs respectively is payable by this office directly to the hospital and only 25% / 10% is to be paid by ex-servicemen. This procedure also eliminates their problems of raising the initial amount. For example, if an ex-servicemen goes directly to the Apollo Hospital, New Delhi for CABG he will be charged Rs. 2 to 2.5 lacs whereas if his case is referred by this office then the package rate for SP Room is Rs. 1.05 lacs only and he has to pay 25% / 10% only and the balance will be paid by this Board. 4. It is our combined responsibility to ensure that the ESM fraternity is facilitated the most and no undue financial burdon is put on them. You are there, requestic to disseminate the above information to all ex-servicemen and their dependent, through your respective Zila Sainik Welfare Offices and also through rallies of ex-servicemen 5. Confirm compliance and acknowledge receipt.

The release or retirement of approximately 50,000 service personnel every year at a relatively young age is a consequence of the policy of maintaining a youthful profile of the Armed Forces. Since retirement of service personnel is due to compulsions of service, it is necessary to assist them in making a smooth transition to the civilian mainstream. Resettlement assistance is necessary in order to maintain a high level of morale in the services and to attract suitable young men to the Armed Forces. Besides this, on retirement, service personnel are capable of making a meaningful contribution to the Nation’s growth. They are in effect a reserve of trained and disciplined man-power, regarded as a national asset which needs to be Nation’s advantage. Resettlement of retiring COs/OR and their equivalent in the navy and air force therefore is of prime importance to the service. 2. Due to various reasons all personnel who retire do not seek reemployment. Some look for self-employment. Avenues. Others show interest in training opportunities to prepare themselves for resettlement. Whatsoever be the mode of resettlement that Ex-servicemen (ESM) seeks, the fact remains that all of them look for a second career. RESETTLEMENT TRAINING 3. Type of Training schemes 4.

Retired Armed Forces Pensioners so far did not have a comprehensive medicare shceme, as compared to and available to other Central Government Employees. Interim treatment of minor natural (garden diseases) was provided at service hospitals and MI Rooms, but often these hospitals got overloaded. To provide some relief, AGI (MBS) was introduced in Apr 91and AFGIS (MIS) in 1995; however, they covered only specific high cost Surgery/treatment for a limited number of diseases. Due to certain limitations of these schemes, to cater to the need of pensioners of the Armed Forces, and thereby decrease the in and out patient load on service hospitals. 2. Based on this noble aim, and after detailed deliberations, a comprehensive scheme has taken shape as the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), authorized vide Government of India, Ministry of Defence letter No.22 (I) 01/US/D (Res) dated 30 Dec 2002 with the advent of this scheme, Ex-Servicemen pensioners who were Only entitled for treatment in service hospital will now be authorized for treatment, not only in service hospitals, but also n those civil/private hospitals which are specifically empanelled with the ExServicemen Contributory Health Scheme. 3. ECHS is a comprehensive medical care scheme covering all diseases including cardiac, renal, joint replacement, cancer and many others. It provides benefits to the complete spectrum of ESM pensioners settled in far-flung areas of the country, through a network of 227 polyclinic (104 in Military Stations and 123 in Non Military Stations). This will, in turn, reduce the load on Military Hospital, since the exclusive polyclinic facility will be located in nominated districts and closer to Ex-Servicemen pensioners. 4. An important aspect of ECHS is that, it not only covers the ESM pensioner, but also family pensioners & widows who are in receipt of pension – thereby ensuring their medical care, even in absence of the pensioner. The chapter on “Eligibility” lays down who all are eligible to join the Scheme. The twin conditions are that, prospective member must be an Ex-Servicemen who has served in the Armed Forces of India in any rank, and be in receipt of pension/family pension/disability pension paid by Government. The intended purpose is to provide succour to pensioners, their wives, and widows & authorized dependants & bring ECHS in line with medical schemes applicable to Center Government employees of other categories. Correct adherence to laid down procedures will ensure that the system is not misused or overloaded. Comprehensive account of Frequently Asked Questions related to ECHS is at Appendix “A” 5.

The scheme was launched w.e.f.01 Apr 2003 vide Gol letter No.22 (I)/01/US/D (Res) dated 30 Dec 2002. Naturally an Ex Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme of this magnitude needed detailed planning and deliberation to ensure that it took off in an efficient and fool proof manner. A large number of procedures, including financial ones were required to be written out and approved by MOD. This was to enable the organization to commence sending ECHS members to empanelled diagnostic facilities, specialists and private hospitals. It must be remenderd that thatECHS is an entirely public funded scheme underwritten by the GOI/MOD and hence, all rules, regulations, procedures and administrative controls require mandatory approval of Ministry of Defence before the Scheme is made fully operational/functional. ECHS has to be fully established within five years, i.e, by 31 March 2008. 2. Time Frame for Operationalisation of ECHS. The ECHS will be progressively operationalised at 104 Military Station and 123 Non Military Stations, the only limiting factor 149 during the interim period till 31 March 2008 being, the speed with which the infrastructure can come up. 3. In the initial period till 31 Dec 2003, after members have made requisite payment, they could not be issued membership Smart Card, as the system was not fully operationalised. During this interim period, emergency treatment of ECHS members has been undertaken through Service Hospitals as per an “Interim procedure”. 4. Action to launch the Scheme commenced w.e.f. 01 Apr 2003 and will continue in a phased manner till it is fully effective in the next five Year, i.e. by mar 2008. In the current year (2003-2004) only 95 polyclinics are envisaged to be made operational. In subsequent year, the remaining polyclinics will be made functional as per a phased plan of construction. 5. Also for the first time, a Smart Card system will be introduced for ECHS. This will not only facilitate smooth running of the Scheme, but also ensure irrefutable biometric identification (through fingerprinting), thus preventing fraud. These cards will also enable members to enjoy full benefits of the Scheme. MEMBERSHIP – PROCEDURE FOR ENROLMENT 1.

ECHS will NOT deal with any case of reimbursement for medicines purchased by a member/dependant, as this is not permissible under ECHS rules. In case any medicine is so purchased the cost will have to be borne by the member. 25. In case further treatment is required, the patient will be referred to the nearest Service Hospital if the treatment/bed availability exists there. At the Service Hospital, the ECHS member will be provided free treatment & medicines and ward facilities as per his entitlement, but will have to pay nominal hospital stoppages in cash, on being discharged from the hospital. 156 The procedure for dealing with ECHS members or dependants will be the same as for serving Soldiers & their dependants. 26. In case treatment facility/bed space does not exist/is not available in a service hospital, the ECHS patient will be referred to the desired empanelled Hospital/Diagnostic Center/Consultant in the city/region as per choice of the pensioner. He/she alone will have the right to make the selection. A list of empanelled Hospitals/Diagnostic Centers and Consultants will be available in each Polyclinic for benefit of patients. In due course this information will also be provided on an ECHS website. 27. All that the patient is required to do is, to go to the selected Hospital/Diagnostic Centre, show his ECHS SMART CARD and referral form from the Polyclinic, and get treatment. Suitable Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) will have been drawn up with empanelled Civil Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres and Consultants to provide treatment only to those pensioners who are referred to them from the Polyclinic, and provide proof of membership/SMART Card. ECHS members are NOT permitted to go directly to any empanelled Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres/Consultant (except in emergency – see provisions in this Brief). 28. The ESM/dependent does not have to clear bills or make payment (except for dietary charges) either on admission or when discharged from the Hospital/Diagnostic Centre/Consultant, provided the cost is as per rate contract concluded with the empanelled facility. These Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres/Consultants will be paid directly by the concerned Station Headquarters under whose jurisdiction the clinic falls. ECHS is responsible for such payments incurred on treatment of the entitled members – but only if the laid down procedure is followed. If a member/dependant goes directly to a Hospital/Diagnostic Centre/Consultant, without first having shown himself to a Polyclinic Doctor and having got referred, then ECHS will not be held responsible for costs incurred and will not make payment to the empanelled facility. 29. There will be no burden of payment (except hospital stoppages in Service Hospitals, and dietary charges in empanelled Civil Hospitals) on the ECHS member, either for medicines or for any treatment - whether out-patient or in-patient - so long as laid down procedures are adhered to, and rate contract concluded with the facility is not exceeded. Treatment in Emergency 30. In an emergency, the ECHS pensioner/eligible family members, may report to the nearest hospital (preferably empanelled) and inform the dependant Polyclinic/Station HQ/Regional Centre of the emergency within 48 hrs of admission. In case of admission to an empanelled hospital, the bills will be cleared by ECHS directly. However, in case of emergency admission to a non-empanelled hospital, the member will first clear the bills, and thereafter put up claim for re-imbursement to the dependant ECHS Polyclinic, duly supported with original bills. The bills will be reimbursed if ECHS is satisfied as to the reasons of emergency and the cost of treatment availed is reasonable. The onus of proving the emergency lies with the member and ECHS may, or may not, clear bills in entirety in the event of doubt/misuse of emergency provisions. Road Map for Development of ECHS Polyclinics 157 33. Ex Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) is one amongst the many important initiatives take by the Government & the Armed Forces to alleviate the socialeconomic needs of retired pensioners of the three Services. These essential steps are just a small compensation to the brave soldiers who sacrifice their youth & life in the nations’ service. 34. The ECHS scheme is a major venture and this medicare concept is being attempted for the first time at an all India level. It is but natural that such a scheme will take time to emerge on ground, through newly constructed and equipped Polyclinic buildings. In fact construction of buildings, purchase of medical equipment/medicines, vehicles, generators, employment of medical/non-medical staff will take time. Therefore, there will be a minimum period required for stabilisation of ECHS. In the interim, provisions are being made to ensure to that ESM joining the scheme are able to use its benefits. 35. A road map has been charted out for progressive build up of ECHS assets within a span of five years as per GOI letter, ie, by 31 Mar 2008, which is also linked to the progressive release of funds by MOD. The Polyclinics where construction work is planned to commence in FY 2003 – 04, is at 62 Polyclinics in military stations and at 33 non-military stations. 36. There is no doubt that the ECHS is a very forward looking & comprehensive medicare scheme, which will go a long way in providing succour to the numerous ex-servicemen pensioners who retire each year. It caters for all types of diseases & conditions that can afflict aged persons, as also covers problems related to the younger age dependants. 37. This scheme is definitely in the interest of ex-service pensioners and, through the means of this Brief and through media, it is hoped that ESM will seize the opportunity to enroll well before the cut off date. Important Information 38. Some important information for pensioners/widows is summarised:(a) To become an ECHS Member an initial contribution as per laid down rates in mandatory. Thereafter, no payment is to be made for any medicines or treatment provided under the scheme. (b) There is no restriction on the type of disease to be treated, or medicine to be provided, to an ECHS Member within the ECHS rules. (c) An ECHS member can opt for a single ECHS Smart Card for him/herself and all dependants, or one for him/herself and a maximum of two add-on cards for his/her dependants. As the scheme stabilizes we may permit a separate card for each dependant. (d) All cards will mandatorily carry fingerprints of the member and his/her entitled dependants. 158 (e) It is mandatory to produce the ECHS Smart Card for every visit to a Polyclinic. Without the Card, the computer at the Polyclinic will not activate the patients’ record/data, and member/dependant will be denied treatment, except in emergency. In case a card is lost, immediately inform the issuing Station HQ/Regional Centre. (f) Referral to empanelled Civil Hospital / Diagnostic Centre/ Consultant, or Service Hospital, can only be made by Polyclinic Doctor(s). ECHS Members are NOT permitted to go directly to any of above. (g) Patients who are referred by the Polyclinic doctor(s) to a Service Hospital or to an empanelled facility, must carry their membership Smart Card & the Polyclinics Referral Card. Without these they will NOT be entertained by the Service Hospital or the empanelled facility. (h) No payment to be made by members for treatment (within rate contract concluded with Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres), or for medicines - that will be done by ECHS. (Hospital Stoppages/Dietary charges will be paid by the patient). Since members are not required to buy medicines or pay for treatment, requests for reimbursement will not be entertained. Medicines so bought will be at own cost. (j) In an emergency, an ECHS patient may be rushed directly to the nearest Service hospital or to an empanelled hospital (if nearby). However, if empanelled hospital is not located nearby, or it is inconvenient due to the nature of emergency, the member may proceed to a non-empanelled hospital for treatment. He/she must, in any case, inform the dependant Polyclinic / Station HQs / Regional Centre, of the admission within 48 hours. (k) An ECHS member who has a SMART Card can avail of treatment at an ECHS Polyclinic anywhere in India. He can also go to any empanelled Civil Hospital/Diagnostic Centre, provided he has an authorised Referral slip from an ECHS Polyclinic. (l) Intercity transportation will invariably be at the members’ cost, except where he/she is moved on medical advice. Detailed policy will be issued in due course of time. For movement within town/city limits, ECHS ambulances may be used to convey very sick and immobile patients from an ECHS Polyclinic to the Civil Hospital/Diagnostic Centre at the discretion of OIC Polyclinic or the Polyclinic doctors. (m) Service Hospitals are automatically empanelled under the ECHS. Therefore, free treatment/medicines will be provided to ECHS members/entitled dependants, subject to availability of bed space, treatment facility and qualified doctors. Nominal stoppages will have to be paid in cash, before discharge. (f) First priority for treatment in Service Hospitals is reserved for serving personnel and their authorised dependants. Hence ECHS members may be denied admission in Service Hospitals, if bed space is NOT available. Also, certain types of treatment (Cancer, Heart, hip/knee replacements, Renal etc) are not available in all Service Hospitals – admission may be denied in those hospitals. ECHS SMART Card & its utilization 40. To efficiently manage the health needs of an ESM population of approx 20 lakhs, with an average of 5 dependants per member, the ECHS would have to track and cater for a strength of over 1 crore members. This can only be done through an electronic system, for 159 which the SMSRT Card was found to be the best solution. The main purposes of the SMART Card are:(a) Identification and prevention of fraud. The card will carry personalized details of the pensioner and eligible dependants. The information shall be in the form of digitized photos and fingerprints. (b) Medical History Details. Details of medical history will be carried on the card so that, in the event of emergency, the data is available. For example, the card will indicate if patient is Diabetic, or Asthmatic, or allergic to a particular drug. This will prevent contra medication. Amount of expenditure incurred on each (c) Medical Expenditure. member/dependant, details of reference, hospitalisation and such like details, will be available for use by ECHS management. 41. It had been planned to commence issue of Cards from September 2003 onwards. However, that shall NOT be possible, since the project is enormous, and it has not been possible to short list a suitable vendor as on 31 August. It may take another few months for cards to commence issue to members. We do not wish to hurry matters in view of complexity of the task, it being a prestigious project being undertaken for the first time in the country. Interim Arrangements in lieu of SMART Card 42. In the interim, till such time issue of cards commences, a pensioner who has paid his/her contribution shall be permitted to use the Reciept provided to him by the Station Headquarters or by Regional Centre, as authority for availing treatment under the ECHS, for himself/herself and for his/her authorised dependants. Orders to this effect have been passed to all Service Hospitals, and similar instructions will be passed to empanelled hospitals, if necessary. However, with the Reciept the member shall mandatorily have to carry/produce some other authentic document/ identification of his/her or dependants identity. Progress on ECHS 43. Based on the broad policy letter issued by the GOI/MOD on 30 Dec 2002, Central Organisation ECHS had forwarded to the MOD (between April 2003 – August 2003) a total of 11 administrative and financial procedures to implement the scheme. Of these, the following procedures have been approved by GOI/MOD so far:(a) Engineering Design of Polyclinics. 160 (b) Procurement of Medical Equipment for Polyclinics. (c) Empanelment of 431 CGHS approved Hospitals, in 27 cities, as an immediate measure for referral/treatment of ECHS patients. 44. Eight more procedures are yet to be approved as on 01 September 2003. Of these, the two most important ones are – Empanelment/employment of Polyclinic Doctors, Technical and non-medical staff; and Payment Procedures to empanelled Hospitals, staff and for other ECHS functions. In the event that these two procedures are approved, it will permit the ECHS Central Organisation to refer patients through Polyclinic staff to empanelled hospitals and pay for the treatment. 45. In the interim period, when ECHS Polyclinic buildings are under construction (as per phased plan) in military stations, a separate building(s) will be earmarked for the Polyclinic from where ECHS doctors will function. In non-military stations, buildings will be hired. Authorised Medical equipment shall be provided to Polyclinics in phases – in the interim period, existing resources of the Armed Forces shall be utilized.

(c) As regards employed family pensioners, since the family pension received by the eligible dependants of Armed Forces pensioners is, in any case, not taken into account in determining their pay on employment, Dearness Relief at the rates applicable from time to time shall be admissible on their family pension. (d) While implementing these decisions, orders issued by MOD vide order No.1(48)/87/D(Pay/Services) dated 31st Jan, 1991, regarding fixation of pay of re-employed pensioners shall be duly kept in view. 204 2.(I).

(c) The Pension Disbursing Authority shall release dearness relief on pension to those reemployed pensioners who submit the Certificate referred to in para 2(II)(a) above. (d) In all other cases of re-employed commissioned officer pensioners, no dearness relief shall be admissible on pension during the period of their re-employment. Payment of dearness relief in these cases shall become admissible only with effect from the date they cease to be re-employed.

It provides major medical benefits to the complete spectrum of ESM pensioners settled in far-flung areas of the country, through a network of 227 polyclinics (104 in Military Stations and 123 in Non Military Stations), by empanelling 431 Hospitals all over the country. These polyclinics are being progressively set up, operationalised and constructed, are to be completed earliest but not later than 31 Mar 2008. Likewise a number of private hospitals are being empanelled progressively each fortnight across the country, to provide specialized treatment/operations. 3. You are requested to take necessary steps to promote the ECHS scheme which will benefit not only the ex-Servicemen, but also family pensioners & widows who are in receipt of pensionthereby ensuring their medical care, even in absence of the pensioner. KSB has to utilise almost 70% of its revenue towards medical treatment, which most members could/should actually avail through joining the ECHS. It is felt that such revenue should be used for other welfare activities, which is only possible if pensioners readily and willingly enroll into the ECHS. 4. Government of India has allotted adequate funds for implementation of ECHS but often funds remain unutilized. It is seen that ex-Servicemen are either not aware of this new scheme or are reluctant to join due to various reasons. RSBs/ZSBs/Dept of Sainik Welfare Office may take innovative steps to promote ECHS scheme for better medical care of pensioner ESM, widows, disabled and orphan children of the pensioner ESM for their better today and tomorrow. 5. Kendriya Sainik Board has been providing financial assistance to ex-Servicemen/their dependent for treatment of serious diseases out of the corpus of Armed Forces Flag Day Fund which is very limited to cater for such heavy medical requirements. As per the Managing Committee decision, Kendriya Sainik Board will provide financial assistance up to 31 Mar 2005, after which the present Medical Scheme of KSB will be applicable only to nonpensioners. The budget allotted for this head will be used for other new schemes like 211 education scholarships to wards of ex-Servicemen, enhancedassistance to war-widows, employment schemes etc, as also to possibly increase monetary limits. 6. Medical claims of pensioner ESM may continue to be forwarded only till 31 Mar 2005 in respect of those individuals who have not or could not join ECHS, or have availed medical assistance prior to joining ECHS. Where ESM/widows have enrolled into the ECHS, claims will generally not be accepted since ECHS polyclinics and empanelled hospitals are functional and treatment in Service Hospitals has commenced all over India since 01 Feb 2004. Only in dire and special cases will KSB, thereafter, provide financial assistance for medical purposes to enrolled ECHS members. You are requested to inform all Zila Sainik Boards in your State & jurisdiction to spread full awareness of above provisions & of ECHS to the pensioner community and to widows. 7. Kindly acknowledge receipt. 8. This has approval of DGR. Sd/(Y N Sharma) Brig Secretary, KSB Copy to :-Central Organisation ECHS Moude Line Delhi Cantt 110010. that country. for information. Please intimate any progressive changes in the scheme, indicating state of empanelment of civil hospitals and activation of Polyclinics, so information iscommunicated across the 212 Tele : 6192362 Registered Ministry of Defence Kendriya Sainik Board West Block-4, Wing- 5 R K Puram, New Delhi -110066 No.2(2)/Policy/KSB/A 12 Mar 96 All Directors/Secretaries Deptts of Sainik Welfare/ Rajya Sainik Boards COURT CASES BY EX-SERVICEMEN FOR REDRESSAL OF GRIEVANCES 1. It has been observed that of late, more ex-Servicemen have been going to the Courts to seek redressal on various matters related to their resettlement & welfare, which have been agitating their minds. Invariably the DGR/ Secretary, Kendriya Sainik Board are one of the respondents in these Court cases. It will be appreciated that an ex-Servicemen, specially an NCO or equivalent, who goes to the Court, does so as a very last resort, as he finds all other avenues which are available to him, for redressal of his grievances closed. At the grass-root level, the organisation which deals with the ex-Servicemen resettlement and welfare matters in the State, is the concerned Rajya Sainik Board office/Deptt of Sainik Welfare and the Zila Sainik Welfare offices. It will thus not be incorrect to assume that as these Court cases, are on the increase, some of the concerned Zila/Rajya Sainik Board offices are not paying due attention in resolving speedily the problems which are of concern to the ex-Servicemen of their States/District, nor are these ex-Servicemen being apprised correctly regarding the existing resettlement & welfare schemes of the State Govt/Centre. This needs to be corrected. 2. It may also be noted that even though the DGR or the Secretary, Kendriya Sainik Board are respondents in the Court cases, these cases will have to be defended in the Court by the concerned Secretary RSB/Zila Sainik Welfare Officer, on behalf of the DGR/Secretary, KSB as it is these Officers who deal with the grass-root level problems of their respective State exServicemen .It will thus be in the interest of the RSBs and ZSBs to pay more attention in sorting out the problems and grievances of these ex-Servicemen, so that they are not compelled to take up the matter in the Court. 3. You are requested to pass suitable instructions to all concerned in your Departments/Zilas regarding the same.

Please refer to this office letter of even No. dated 12 Mar 1996. 2. The attention of the Directors, Deptts of Sainik Welfare/Rajya Sainik Boards was drawn, vide the above quoted letter, towards the increasing number of Court Cases as the ESM have frequently been approaching the courts to seek redressal on various matters related to their welfare and resettlement. It was also requested that even though the DGR or the Secretary, Kendriya Sainik Board are respondents in certain Court cases, these cases will have to be defended in the Court by the concerned Secretary RSB/Zila Sainik Welfare Officer on their behalf because it is these officers at Zila and State level who deal with the grass level problems of their respective State ex-Servicemen. 3. It has, however, been experienced that some States have been reluctant in appearing in court on behalf of DGR/Secy., KSB/MOD due to varying reasons. It is, therefore, reemphasized that the overall responsibility of looking after the problems of ESM/families lies at the level of RSB/ZSB. It will be in the interest of the Sainik Board Organisation that all such cases are defended in the court by the concerned Secy. RSB/Dir Deptt of Sainik Welfare. DGR/Secy., KSB may be consulted on the cases on as required basis. 4. It must be appreciated that Sainik Boards at various level are part of one organisation and working for a common cause and any division of interest is likely to be detrimental to the welfare of ex-Servicemen for which all are designed. It is requested that suitable instructions be passed to all concerned on the subject.

Further to this office letters of even number dated 08 Feb 1996 and 01 May 1997 on the above subject. 2. It has been experienced that in spite of the ruling quoted in the above mentioned two letters, considerable delay continues to take place in processing cases of ESM/Widows/Dependents for monetary grant out of RMDF. This is due to either incomplete application forms or non forwarding of relevant documents/information along with the application. Incomplete documentation results in unnecessary correspondence and causes deep anguish to the ESM/Widows/Dependents who are desperate for assistance. 3. In order to avoid unnecessary correspondence and delay, it is imperative that RSBs/ZSBs not only process cases expeditiously but also ensure their genuineness and completeness before forwarding the same to the Kendriya Sainik Board for further action. To facilitate this action, a list of documents required by the Ministry of Defence is attached as Appendix. 4. It has also been experienced by the staff at KSB that queries raised with Zila Sainik Boards on financial assistance cases are not replied on time. This adds to the delay in finalizing cases. Zila Sainik Welfare Officers are advised to forward a copy of the application for financial assistance to the respective Director, Deptt of Sainik Welfare/Secretary, Rajya Sainik Board also. Secretaries, Rajya Sainik Boards are advised to monitor and progress cases till their finalization by this office. 5. Please acknowledge receipt.

The matter regarding cut-off date of payment of such claims in respect of those ESM who are eligible for ECHS was taken up with the Army Headquarters for their decision. Accordingly, Central Organisation, ECHS, AG’s Branch, DHQ PO New Delhi vide their letter No.B/49701/AG/ECHS dated 21 Jan 2004 has their approval that the cut-off date for financial assistance from KSB would be 01 Apr 2004. As regards treatment of ESM in service hospital, in view of allotment of budget by ECHS to service hospital, the cut-off date will be 05 Jan 2004, as intimated vide our letter of even number dated 14 Jan 2004. 3. It has further been clarified that stoppage of financial assistance shall only be applicable to ESM-pensioners, their widows, family members and next of kin who are in receipt of pension, since ECHS is applicable to these categories only. World War-II Veterans, ECOs/SSCOs and any other persons who are also ex-servicemen, but not pensioners, will continue to be dependent on KSB for financial assistance. 4. In view of the above KSB will process financial assistance for serious diseases as hither-tofore for ex-servicemen up to and including 31 Mar 2004. 5. In view of the above policy decision, since the major impact will be on eligible ESM/Widows who have not yet enrolled into the ECHS, it is again requested that a comprehensive information campaign be initiated by all RSBs & ZSBs to educate the ESM community about the scheme and disadvantage of not joining it. This aspect may be given vide publicity to make the scheme a success.

(i) Widows/wards of Defence personnel killed in action. (ii) Wards of serving personnel and ex-servicemen disabled in action. (iii) Widows/Wards of Defence personnel who died in peace time with death attributable to military service. (iv) Wards of Defence personnel disabled in peace time with disability attributable to military service. (v) Wards of ex-servicemen and serving personnel who are in receipt of Gallantry Awards. (vi) Wards of ex-servicemen. (vii) Wards of serving personnel.

The question whether the personnel, who are on deputation to the Army Postal Service and retire with pension, are covered under the definition of ex-Servicemen or not, has been under consideration for some time past. The matter has since been examined in consultation with the Department of Personnel and Training and it is clarified that the personnel of Army Postal Service, who are a part of the Regular Army and retire from such service (that is, directly from the Army Postal Service itself without reversion to P&T Department) with a pension or who have been released from such service on medical grounds attributable to military service or circumstances beyond their control and awarded medical or other disability pension, come within the definition of ex-Servicemen. 3.

The undersigned is directed to say that representations have been received from Association of Physically handicapped personnel that the reservation benefits in direct recruitment and in promotion are not being properly extended to them by various offices of the Government of India, Public Sector Undertakings etc. They have represented that Liaison Officers should be appointed to oversee the implementation of the reservation orders for physically handicapped as is being done in the case of reservation for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. Similar demands are also received for the appointment of Liaison Officers to oversee the implementation of the reservation orders for other Backward Classes and ex-Servicemen. The matter has accordingly been considered and it is felt that it would be both practical and desirable to have a single Liaison Officer for overseeing the implementation of the reservation orders. It has, therefore, been decided that the Liaison Officers appointed to look after the reservation matters of SC/ ST would also be the Liaison Officers for reservation matters relating to physically handicapped ex-Servicemen and Other Backward Classes. 2.

In this context, the fact that minimum qualifications for joining armed forces is matriculation and the banks are finding it difficult to appoint ex-servicemen for the post of armed guards as per the existing qualifications for subordinate staff, as also keeping in view representations received from certain banks demanding certain leverage with regard to the minimum marks or stipulation of special qualifications, the matter has further been examined in their recruitment policy for appointment of employees/officers through direct recruitment:(1) Subordinate Staff - A pass in Eighth standard or its equivalent but the candidate should not have passed 10+2 examination or its equivalent. (2) Clerical Cadre - Minimum qualification of pass in 10+2 examination or its equivalent. Officer Cadre - Minimum qualification Graduate. 3.
