CSD Car Purchase Eligibility for Defence Personnel and Ex-Servicemen
CSD has changed the procedure and eligibility rules recently for Defence Personnel and Ex-servicemen.
CSD Payment Method
The payment method has been changed to buy AFD items of car, bike, Scooter and expensive products. While purchasing the costly items, instead of Demand Draft, Defence Personnel and Ex-servicemen can pay the amount through National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) to CSD bank account. Hence, the service charge and time also will save.
All eligibility customers should know the bank account number of respective CSD Depot. [More details click here]

CSD(i) facilities are available to Defense and Civilian officers also. It was represented to erstwhile Defense Minister Mr. AK ANTONY to include civilians and pensioners who are paid out of Defense estimates but gone to deaf ears.
It is once again requested that Defense civilians paid out; of Defense estimates may also be allowed to avail CSD (i) facility keeping in view of the service rendered by them during war and peace who shouldered the responsibility with the soldier brothers. Thus the prevalent disparity can be removed and the contribution by civilians to the NATION would be equally rewarded. All affected civilians are requested to join this race to make it successful by representing to UNION Defense Minister, Mr MANOHAR PARRIKAR.
