Sir,
Request you to help me understand whether under this circular a widow of IOFS (Indian Ordnance Factory Services) class1 officer can apply for the CSD card.
I am under assumption that IOFS is under MOD’s jurisdiction so it should not be an issue.
Your guidance will help to take necessary steps as I am raising this query on behalf of couple of widow’s of the IOFS officers.
Cantonment board employee are also entitled for this or not.plz clear it
I was working in Defence Estates Office, Jodhpur Circle, Jodhpur (Raj.) and I was voluntarily retired on 05.03.2012.. Should I get the facility of CSD Grocery items. Please inform accordingly.
Just to know whether widows of MES officers/employees are also eligible for CSD facility as at present they are not entertaining the applications for same
Regards
Pradeep
Is it compulsory to draw groceries onlyfrom the UURC where the application is registered or can be drawn from other urcs also. In fact the card holder should be allowed to draw from anywhere.
Is this facility is also available to person who are compulsory retired from service and having a ppo order from alahabad issued to them and getting pension.reply to email
Thanks
This is extremely useful. Thank you for posting these details. Unfortunately, the attached ‘CSD Smart Card Application Format’ has been scanned in poor resolution and is therefore unreadable and unusable. A higher resolution application form is much needed.
Sir, regarding the form for applying CSD facility to retired defence employees attached herewith is of no use due to the following reason.
a) The copy is not kept straight on the scanner. It is in slanted position.
b) the copy is not legible.
It is requested that a clear copy of the form be copied and attached to it.
India suffers from increase of population,to prevent it govt needs to setup strict plan to educate all child of india upto graduate level. Retirement in 33yrs of govt service is justified. Considering the unemployment condition of the country. Retirement age 58,60 and 62yrs are not considerable.
