MESSAGE

1. This edition of the book contains information on various resettlement and welfare
schemes being extended to the ex-servicemen and their families by the Central and State
Govts, besides important reference letters.

2. Having established the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare in the Ministry of

Defence in 2004, we are proactively focusing on issues that affect the interests of the ex-
servicemen and widows of the Armed Forces personnel. We need to make sure that the
schemes reach rural areas. The year 2007 having been declared ‘Year of placement of Ex-
Servicemen’ it is our crusade to facilitate vocation in terms of employment and self
employment.

3. I must express that most of the States have shown great concern for the welfare and
well being of the Ex-Servicemen and their families. However, much more to be done in the
days to come.

4. I do hope that this guide book amply provides all the requisite information to the Ex-
Servicemen community and their families.

FOREWORD

1. This latest edition of ‘Guide Book’ is published with a view to keep the ESM
well informed. This book will provide necessary information on the facilities
available for them and also guide them on the procedures to be adopted to avail
those facilities including details of agencies involved in the chain of assistance.

2. About 25 lacs of ESM exist as on date, which includes 4 Lacs widows and
about 60,000 retire every year. Most of these ESM are from rural background
and are mostly unaware of the facilities available to them. In order to ensure
their welfare, the Govt has opened the dept of Ex-Servicemen Welfare in the
Ministry of Defence to address the issues of the Welfare, rehabilitation and
Pensionary problems of the ESM.

3. I do hope that this edition will surely educate the ESM Community on th
schemes being run by the Deptt of Ex-Servicemen Welfare/MoD, DGR and KSB o
various welfare, rehabilitation and career transition facilities.

4. I am grateful to Sqn Ldr J. Pandian, Hav/Clk Sanjay Kumar Shri D

CHAPTER - 1

BRIEF ON SAINIK BOARD ORGANISATION

IN THE COUNTRY
Historical Background

1. In a Government resolution dated 07 Sep 1919, the then Government of India

suspended the functioning of the Central Recruiting Board and at its place a new Board was
established called the Indian Soldiers' Board to advise on matters affecting the interest of
serving, discharged and deceased Indian Soldiers and non-combatants and their dependents.
Due to steady expansion of the Navy and Air Force during the Second World War, the need for
a single organisation to perform the same functions in relation to all the three services was felt
and the Board was consequently reconstituted in 1944.
2. In March 1951, it was renamed as the Indian Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Airmen’s Board.
The designation of the Board was changed to the Kendriya Sainik Board at centre and Rajya
Sainik Board, Zila Sainik Board at State and district level in 1975. This Board functions under
the Ministry of Defence as an Inter-Service Organisation.
3. Though welfare of the Ex-servicemen and their dependents is the joint responsibility of
the Centre and the State/UTs, majority of the problems have to be resolved only by the
States/UTs. To assist the State Governments in this regard, there are 32 Rajya Sainik Boards
(Appendix ‘A) and 352 Zila Sainik Boards in the country (Nine more are under the process of
setting up). The expenditure on these is shared between the Centre and the States/UTs on
50:50 basis. Like the Kendriya Sainik Board at the Centre, the Rajya/Zila Sainik Boards are
responsible for policy formulation and implementation of resettlement and welfare schemes
for Ex-servicemen, widows and their dependents residing in States/UTs.
4. There is a possibility for attaching serving defence personnel in the RSBs/ZSBs and
interlinking them through the Internet. They would be responsible for the monitoring of
requests/complaints by the detached families of the serving soldiers and also issuance of the
Identity Cards.
Organisation
5. The inter-relationship between the various Deptts in the Central Organisation and the
State and Zila Organisation are outlined in the following chart: -

CHAPTER – 13

EX-SERVICEMEN CONTRIBUTORY HEALTH SCHEME (ECHS)

INTRODUCTION

1. Retired Armed Forces Pensioners so far did not have a comprehensive medicare
scheme, as compared to and available to other Central Government Employees. Interim
treatment of minor natural (garden diseases) was provided at service hospitals and MI Rooms,
but often these hospitals got overloaded. To provide some relief, AGI (MBS) was introduced in
Apr 91 and AFGIS (MIS) in 1995; however, they covered only specific high cost
Surgery/treatment for a limited number of diseases. Therefore, the requirement of a medicare
system was felt essential for our brave soldiers.

2. Based on this noble aim, and after detailed deliberations, a comprehensive scheme
has taken shape as the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), authorized vide
Government of India, Ministry of Defence letter No.22 (I) 01/US/D (Res) dated 30 Dec 2002
with the advent of this scheme, Ex-Servicemen pensioners who were Only entitled for
treatment in service hospital will now be authorized for treatment, not only in service hospitals,
but also n those civil/private hospitals which are specifically empanelled with the Ex-
Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme.

3. ECHS is a comprehensive medical care scheme covering all diseases including

cardiac, renal, joint replacement, cancer and many others. It provides benefits to the complete
spectrum of ESM pensioners settled in far-flung areas of the country, through a network of 227
polyclinic (104 in Military Stations and 123 in Non Military Stations). This will, in turn, reduce
the load on Military Hospital, since the exclusive polyclinic facility will be located in nominated
districts and closer to Ex-Servicemen pensioners.

4. An important aspect of ECHS is that, it not only covers the ESM pensioner, but also
family pensioners & widows who are in receipt of pension – thereby ensuring their medical
care, even in absence of the pensioner. The chapter on “Eligibility” lays down who all are
eligible to join the Scheme. The twin conditions are that, prospective member must be an
Ex-Servicemen who has served in the Armed Forces of India in any rank, and be in receipt
of pension/family pension/disability pension paid by Government. The intended purpose is
to provide succour to pensioners, their wives, and widows & authorized dependants & bring
ECHS in line with medical schemes applicable to Center Government employees of other
categories. Correct adherence to laid down procedures will ensure that the system is not
misused or overloaded.

10. Inception. The scheme was launched w.e.f.01 Apr 2003 vide GOI letter No.22
(I)/01/US/D (Res) dated 30 Dec 2002. Naturally an Ex Servicemen Contributory Health
Scheme of this magnitude needed detailed planning and deliberation to ensure that it took off
in an efficient and fool proof manner. A large number of procedures, including financial ones
were required to be written out and approved by MOD. This was to enable the organization to
commence sending ECHS members to empanelled diagnostic facilities, specialists and private
hospitals. It must be remenderd that that ECHS is an entirely public funded scheme
underwritten by the GOI/MOD and hence, all rules, regulations, procedures and administrative
controls require mandatory approval of Ministry of Defence before the Scheme is made fully
operational/functional. ECHS has to be fully established within five years, i.e, by 31 March
2008.

11. Time Frame for operationalisation of ECHS: Action to launch the Scheme
commenced w.e.f. 01 Apr 2003 and will continue in a phased manner till it is fully effective in

Hospital if the treatment/bed availability exists there. At the Service Hospital, the ECHS

facility. These Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres/Consultants will be paid directly by the concerned
Station Headquarters under whose jurisdiction the clinic falls. ECHS is responsible for such
payments incurred on treatment of the entitled members – but only if the laid down procedure
is followed. If a member/dependant goes directly to a Hospital/Diagnostic Centre/Consultant,

facility.

Treatment in Emergency

nearest hospital (preferably empanelled) and inform the dependant Polyclinic/Station
HQ/Regional Centre of the emergency within 48 hrs of admission. In case of admission to
an empanelled hospital, the bills will be cleared by ECHS directly. However, in case of
emergency admission to a non-empanelled hospital, the member will first clear the bills, and
thereafter put up claim for re-imbursement to the dependant ECHS Polyclinic, duly supported
with original bills. The bills will be reimbursed if ECHS is satisfied as to the reasons of
emergency and the cost of treatment availed is reasonable. The onus of proving the
emergency lies with the member and ECHS may, or may not, clear bills in entirety in the event
of doubt/misuse of emergency provisions. Sanctioned for reimbursement will be given by
Central Govt. ECHs as per approved Government rates only.

Important Information

40. Some important information for pensioners/widows is summarised:-

(a) To become an ECHS Member an initial contribution as per laid down rates in
mandatory. Thereafter, no payment is to be made for any medicines or treatment
provided under the scheme.

(b) There is no restriction on the type of disease to be treated, or medicine to be

provided, to an ECHS Member within the ECHS rules.

(c) An ECHS member can opt for a single ECHS Smart Card for him/herself and all
dependants, or one for him/herself and a maximum of two add-on cards for his/her
dependants. As the scheme stabilizes we may permit a separate card for each
dependant.

(d) All cards will mandatorily carry fingerprints of the member and his/her entitled
dependants.

(e) It is mandatory to produce the ECHS Smart Card for every visit to a Polyclinic.
Without the Card, the computer at the Polyclinic will not activate the patients’
record/data, and member/dependant will be denied treatment, except in emergency. In
case a card is lost, immediately inform the issuing Station HQ/Regional Centre.

(f) Referral to empanelled Civil Hospital / Diagnostic Centre/ Consultant, or Service

Hospital, can only be made by Polyclinic Doctor(s). ECHS Members are NOT permitted
to go directly to any of above.

(g) Patients who are referred by the Polyclinic doctor(s) to a Service Hospital or to
an empanelled facility, must carry their membership Smart Card & the Polyclinics

mhtml:file://F:\ESM%20Welfare\GUIDE%20BOOK%20-%202007.mht 5/8/2008
 Page 159 of 215

Referral Card. Without these they will NOT be entertained by the Service Hospital or
the empanelled facility.

(h) No payment to be made by members for treatment (within rate contract

concluded with Hospitals/Diagnostic Centres), or for medicines - that will be done by
ECHS. (Hospital Stoppages/Dietary charges will be paid by the patient). Since
members are not required to buy medicines or pay for treatment, requests for re-
imbursement will not be entertained. Medicines so bought will be at own cost.

(j) In an emergency, an ECHS patient may be rushed directly to the nearest

Service hospital or to an empanelled hospital (if nearby). However, if empanelled
hospital is not located nearby, or it is inconvenient due to the nature of emergency, the
member may proceed to a non-empanelled hospital for treatment. He/she must, in any
case, inform the dependant Polyclinic / Station HQs / Regional Centre, of the admission
within 48 hours.

(k) An ECHS member who has a SMART Card can avail of treatment at an ECHS
Polyclinic anywhere in India. He can also go to any empanelled Civil Hospital/Diagnostic
Centre, provided he has an authorised Referral slip from an ECHS Polyclinic.

(l) Intercity transportation will invariably be at the members’ cost, except where
he/she is moved on medical advice. Detailed policy will be issued in due course of time.
For movement within town/city limits, ECHS ambulances may be used to convey very
sick and immobile patients from an ECHS Polyclinic to the Civil Hospital/Diagnostic
Centre at the discretion of OIC Polyclinic or the Polyclinic doctors.

(m) Service Hospitals are automatically empanelled under the ECHS. Therefore,
free treatment/medicines will be provided to ECHS members/entitled dependants,
subject to availability of bed space, treatment facility and qualified doctors. Nominal
stoppages will have to be paid in cash, before discharge.

(n) First priority for treatment in Service Hospitals is reserved for serving personnel
and their authorised dependants. Hence ECHS members may be denied admission in
Service Hospitals, if bed space is NOT available. Also, certain types of treatment
(Cancer, Heart, hip/knee replacements, Renal etc) are not available in all Service
Hospitals – admission may be denied in those hospitals.

(o) Policy letter regarding redressal of grievances is available at Appendix

‘M’

(p) Policy letter regarding change of parent polyclinic (All India) is placed at Appx
`N’.
