ISSUE OF I-CARDS TO DEPENDENTS OF EX-SERVICE MEN

Introduction

1. A number of representations are being received from ESM for issue of dependent Identity Cards. The main reason for these representations being that dependents of ESM are unable to utilize various facilities/benefits extended to them by organizations due to non availability of Identity cards. The case in point is air travel by organizations due to non availability of Identity Cards. The case in point is air travel concession offered by the airlines to dependents of ESM, however, many dependents of ESM are not able to make use of the concession offered due to want of Dependents ID card which is a mandatory requirement instituted by the airlines offering the concession .

2. During third south Zone Meeting held at Hyderabad this issue was deliberated upon in detail in light of various representations and recommendations of Directors of all Rajya Sainik Boards on the need of issuing dependent I Cards, It was decided by the Chairman that dependent I cards be issued and policy in this regard be formulated to ensure that these are not misused.
