    Letter to RM

    Dated:  07 Mar 2019

    Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman                                                                                                                                                           Hon’ble Raksha Mantri                                                                                                                                                                  104, South Block, New Delhi-110011

    CLARIFICATION ON YOUR ADDRESS TO EX SERVICEMEN AT DEHRADUN ON 04 MAR 2019

    Hon’ble Raksha Mantri,

    1.        Please refer our letter dated 05 Mar 2019 (copy attached).

    2.       During your address to Ex Servicemen, you had touched upon a few important issues of defence personnel ie OROP and minimum pension.

    3.       May I request you for clarification necessary on the above issues as per succeeding paragraphs:-

    (a)

    OROP.  You had stated that the review of OROP will be carried out after three years and the same will be done this year.  If the Govt had decided equalization of pension every three year, then the review is due with effect from 01 Jul 2017.  In that case the Govt Notification needs to be issued to execute equalization of pension of defence personnel with effect from 01 Jul 2017.  If it is carried out this year i.e. 01 Jul 2019,  the equalization of pension would be after five years and not three years as stated by you, since OROP was granted by your Govt with effect from 01 Jul 2014 vide Govt Notification dated 07 Nov 2015.  This important issue needs to be clarified.  May I request you for early clarification please?

    (b)

    Minimum Pension of Rs 18000/-pm.  During your address, you had stated that the minimum pension which is Rs 10,000/pm as of now will be increased to Rs 18,000/-pm.  As per the existing order, minimum pension is  Rs 9,000+DA.  Will the pension of widows and reservists be increased to Rs 18000/-pm + DA as stated by you?  If it is so, it is very welcome decision by your Govt.  Defence widows and reservists are the most effected pensioners of def family.  May I request for your consideration and early clarification please.

    3.       May I also request you for meeting for half an hours of three members of Indian ex servicemen (IESM) at your earliest please.

    With regards,
    Yours Sincerely,

    Maj Gen Satbir Singh, SM (Retd)

    Cabinet approves setting up of 50 new Kendriya Vidyalayas under Civil/Defence Sector

    Cabinet approves setting up of 50 new Kendriya Vidyalayas under Civil/Defence Sector all over the country


    The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the setting up of 50 new KendriyaVidyalayas under Civil/Defence Sector all over the country.


    The Vidyalayas are proposed to be opened in the Civil/Defense Sector and once they are fully functional they will provide quality education to approximately 50,000 students once they become fully operational.

    Consolidated list of 50 proposals recommended by the ‘Challenge Method’ Committee for opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas

    No requirement of an NOC for the renewal / change of address in the Driving Licence

    No requirement of an NOC for the renewal / change of address in the Driving Licence

    No requirement of an NOC for the renewal /

    Transport bhawan, 1, Parliament street, new Delhi-110001

    February 28, 2019

    To
    1.The Principal Secretaries/ Secretaries, Department of Transport of all the states/Uts;
    2.The Transport Commissions of all the States/Ut Administrations

    Subject: No requirement of an NOC for the renewal/change of address in the Driving Licence

    Madam/Sir,
    The driving license issued by any licensing authority in any state is valid throughout India and the license-holders is authorized to drive the specified class or classes of vehicles as per the licence in terms of the provisions of the motor vehicles Act, 1988 or the or the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.

    2. The practice of obtaining an NOC from the previous licencing authority was followed primarily with a view to checking the authority of the licence,as to whether it was indeed issued/endorsed by the previous authority and that the licences was not linked with any offence. This practice came to be adapted initially when the Diving Licences were issued in manual mode/regime and also subsequently during the decentralized operations of earlier off-line software versions of SARATHI. Now, with the current version of SARATHI Wherein all Driving Licenses are issued following a IT based application system and the details are verifiable from the database in an on-line mode, there is no need for seeking an NOC for verification of such details as per the provisions of the aforesaid Act or Rules.

    3. It has been brought to the notice of this Ministry that many States are still sticking to the practice of obtaining NOC from the parent authority in both cases. i.e renewals and change of address of the driving licence. This not only caused disparity in the implementation process but has a potential of undue harassment to the applicant. In case, when a user moves from one place or State, which does not issue NOC to another place or State, which requires an NOC, the applications are rejected due to the lack of such NOC.

    4. The SARATHI database contains the information of the driving licences issued by the states. Accordingly, it is advised that whenever an application for renewal or transfer of address is reserved the concerned competent authority may check the particulars online available in the SARATHI database Further, the details can also be validated using e-challan mobile application. This approach would not require the citizens to visit or approach the original Licencing Authority for getting NOC.

    5. It is requested that all the Licensing Authorities be directed to stop forthwith and discontinue any old process of verification in manual mode and follow the online verification of the driving licenses for facilitation of the citizens

    Yours faithfully,
    sd/-

    Cabinet approves grant of medical facilities under Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) to World War-II Veterans, Emergency Commissioned Officers (ECOs), Short Service Commissioned Officers (SSCOs) and pre-mature retirees


    More than 40,000 individual to be benefitted


     


    The Cabinet Meeting Chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today approved the grant of Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) facilities to World War-II Veterans, Emergency Commissioned Officers (ECOs), Short Service Commissioned Officers (SSCOs) and pre-mature retirees.

    As a result, over 43,000 individuals not covered so far under ECHS will be able to avail the benefits of cashless medical treatment under ECHS facilities through a network of over 425 ECHS polyclinics, over 2500 empanelled private hospitals and all Government hospitals throughout the country, subject to certain conditions.

    As a special dispensation, war-widows will be exempt from one-time contribution to join ECHS.

    Launched by NDA Government in April 2003, ECHS provides quality medicare to 54 lakh ex-servicemen pensioners, their dependents and a few other categories.

    Measures for welfare of Ex-Servicemen:

    Today’s decision is yet another landmark step in the pro-active policies of the Government since its very first days for welfare of our valiant ex-servicemen, who rendered valuable service to the country.

    Implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ for ex-servicemen, a demand which had been pending for over four decades, has resulted in over 20 lakh ex-servicemen receiving more thanRs. 35,000 Crore under the scheme. Other welfare measures by the Government for ex-servicemen include increase in pension by 40%, disability pension for pre-mature retirees, applicability of battle causality compensation at Line of Actual Control, Line of Control and International Border, financial assistance to soldiers on their supreme sacrifice through newly created Army Battle Causalities Welfare Fund, enhancement of ex-gratia ad-hoc allowance, Special Pension to Ex-sailors and skill development training in 36 job roles to over 30,000 retiring soldiers so far.

    Next we will have Police guys posted in Army Battalions and Regiments.

                   New Delhi: In a first, an officer from the Indian Police Service (IPS) will soon be posted at the Indian Army headquarters in the national capital to assist the force in dealing with human rights issues.
    Approved under a plan called ‘Reorganisation of the Army headquarters’, the move is part a major restructuring of the armed forces, said sources.

               Under the plan, the defence ministry has also approved the Army’s proposals to reduce around 20 per cent of the officer posts, merge two weapons and systems procurement agencies and create a new post of deputy chief who will coordinate with military intelligence, operations and logistics wings, said sources.

                 A formal notification is expected soon.

                The move is part of an overall process to make the 1.3-million strong Indian Army leaner and fitter for a 21st century war.

                The Army had earlier commissioned four major in-house studies for greater integration. This restructuring is part of one of the four studies.

                 According to the approved proposals, two new branches have been created — for Vigilance and Human Rights — within the Army. Both will be headed by a Major General-rank Army official.

                 The new Additional Director General (ADG), Vigilance, will function directly under the Army chief. The ADG Human Rights will function under the vice-chief.

                    The ADG HR — a post to be held by an Army official — will be assisted by an IPS officer to facilitate necessary coordination with other organisations and the home ministry on the human rights issues at hand, sources said.

                  It’s not yet clear what the rank of the IPS officer will be.

                    Since an ADG HR will be equivalent to an ADG in the police forces, a lower rank officer will be deputed to the Army headquarters.

    Jai Hind
