Agar aap Indian Army, Navy, ya Air Force se retire ho chuke hain ya hone wale hain, toh ESM Identity Card aapke liye sabse zaroori document hai. Bina iske aap kisi bhi Ex-Servicemen welfare scheme ka labh nahi utha sakte.
Is article mein hum image mein diye gaye official guidelines ke mutabiq registration ka poora process detail mein samjhayenge.
ESM Identity Card: Kaun banwa sakta hai?
Sabse pehle ye samajhna zaroori hai ki ESM Identity Card sirf un personnel ko milta hai jo DoPT (Govt. of India) ki ESM definition mein aate hain.
- Issuing Authority: Aapke district ka Zila Sainik Board (ZSB) ya Zila Sainik Welfare Office (ZSWO) hi ise issue karne ke liye authorized hai.
- Discharge Book ka Role: Aapka I-Card usi district se banega jo aapki Discharge Book mein mention hai. Isliye discharge ke waqt apna permanent address sahi check kar lein.
ZSB Registration Process (Step-by-Step)
Retirement ke turant baad aapko apne ZSB/ZSWO mein register hona mandatory hai.
- Offline Verification: Aapko apne documents ke saath ZSB office jana hoga jahan aapke particulars verify kiye jayenge.
- Online Application: Aajkal aap KSB (Kendriya Sainik Board) portal ke zariye online bhi apply kar sakte hain.
- Dependent Cards: ESM ke saath-saath unke family members (dependents) ke liye bhi alag se Identity Card issue kiya jata hai.
Agar aap District badalna chahte hain (NOC Rules)
Kayee baar ESM apne ‘Home District’ ke bajaye kisi dusre shehar mein settle hona chahte hain. Aise mein rules sakht hain:
- Naye district mein registration se pehle aapko apne purane ZSWO office se No Objection Certificate (NOC) lena hoga.
- Bina NOC ke naya ZSB aapka registration accept nahi karega.
Pro Tip: Hamesha apni Discharge Book ki 2-3 certified copies taiyar rakhein, kyunki har level par iski verification ki jati hai.
SOP aur Accounting Rules
KSB Secretariat ne ESM/Dependent I-Cards ke liye ek detailed SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) banaya hai. Ye SOP ensure karta hai ki koi bhi fake document na ban sake aur sirf genuine veterans ko hi cards milein. Sabhi RSB aur ZSB isi SOP ko follow karte hain.
Welfare Schemes ka Gateway
Dhyan rahe, ESM Identity Card sirf ek pehchan patra nahi hai. Ye Central aur State Government ki sabhi welfare schemes (jaise scholarship, medical grants, aur CSD benefits) ke liye ek Prerequisite (anivarya) hai.
Agar aapke paas valid ESM I-Card aur ZSB registration nahi hai, toh aap kisi bhi financial benefit ke liye apply nahi kar payenge.
