I would request somebody in New Delhi to take an initiative and formulate a proposal to the government directly on behalf of all SSC officers towards medical treatment facility post retirement for the individual, spouse (and children till they attain the age of 21 years). This would subsequently require somebody to also follow up by keeping a copy of all concerned documents and acknowledgement of submitted documents. So, friends let us first form a website and thereafter publicise the same in all three services which would in less than six months time be fully operational and also bring in awareness amongst the three services. This is a request come proposal and a beginning of the process. Suggestions and recoendations on this subject are welcome.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Swaminath<br />Lt Cdr (Retd)<br />Indian NavyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067633706459598296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-16323239601030743342014-04-17T17:47:25.801+05:302014-04-17T17:47:25.801+05:30I have been following the blog, especially this se...I have been following the blog, especially this section since last two years.

Navdeep always does a lot of good things in educating the Ex-servicemen.<br />Regarding the Medical Treatment facilities / ECHS scheme for SSC officers of 5 / 10 / 14 years(all are SSC's, so no discrimination please), there is still a lot of confusion. It seems that the DGAFMS is really not interested. I had such a tough time in getting a piece of paper with my photo on it, supposed to be a Medical entitlement card made. It seems to be of no use as probably proper cards are understood by the treating fraternity and such papers make them confused. The SSC officers should unite and then take up this issue.The same thing has been stated many times by our Veteran officer Mr. Beniwal.Dr. Rajesh Mittalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453853880231791344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-82387278377366727632012-11-01T20:23:30.535+05:302012-11-01T20:23:30.535+05:30dear Maj Navdeep,

I was wondering, since its been almost 1 and a half years since the time of this post, have there been any further developments on this issue of medical benefits for SSC officers? If so, pls could you update us? <br /><br />I will be leaving the Army after completing 5 years in March 2012, and it is still not clear in any of the offices I contacted whether or not I will be entitled to medical facilities thereafter and what cards (entitlement, identity, etc.)do I have to get made for the post-Army life. I will be grateful for any light you could throw on these issues for me.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-34043248737523618662012-01-15T17:58:40.173+05:302012-01-15T17:58:40.173+05:30thank youthank youDr Shreya Mehul Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431375612195133533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-6614151781539834712012-01-15T17:57:25.241+05:302012-01-15T17:57:25.241+05:30Dear sir,

I have put in 6 years of my prime life to the service of the nation.Even though I have managed to find a good career for myself, many SSCOS are fighting lonely battles not able to find reasonably good jobs. It is time now for the GOI to ensure that SSCOS lead quality lives after their release from service irrespective of whether they are able to find careers on their own to support their families,especially with health care and prorata pension.I hope more SSCOS will voice their opinion for a good solution from the GOI and my special regards to you for your time and effort and hope your effort will certainly reign in fruits in the futureUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765260837565925624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-76653790717881086542010-09-30T16:30:58.545+05:302010-09-30T16:30:58.545+05:30Maj Navdeep,

I joined navy on 03 July 2000 under the 7 + 3 scheme, ie my initial engagement was for 7 years. However, in 2002 when SSC 10+4 scheme was introduced I was converted to new scheme with my concurrence. I am due for release from service on 03 Jul 2010 after completion of 10 years of service. I have taken an NOC from navy to apply for civil jobs in Govt and PSU. I want to ask you that if i leave service to join any govt organisation or PSU on regular/contract appointment before completion of my 10 years of service then what would be my status as exservicemen. Will i be an exservicemen and would get all priveledge of an exservicemen? what is my initial term of engagement to be considered for ex-servicemen and other benefits like gratuatiy ets? is it 7 years or 10 years? If i join any govt organisation after leaving service(ie after 10 years but not immediately after my retirement), will my military service be counte in the new organisation like pay protection,pension etc? Could you please forward the DGAFMS letter an existing Govt orders on medical facilities to retired SSC officers and their families?<br /><br />I would be very gratefull if you can enlighten me on the abovementioned issues as I may have to take the decision of quiting service just 4-5 months before my due date of release for the purpose of joining DGCA but on contract basis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503293844377013031.post-31112966238312061062009-11-27T11:53:28.852+05:302009-11-27T11:53:28.852+05:30IT IS HIGH TIME NOW THAT MINISTRY OF DEFENCE MUST ...IT IS HIGH TIME NOW THAT MINISTRY OF DEFENCE MUST INTRODUCE ECHS TO ALL SHORT SERVICE COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

Also says Such ESM are being provided medical treatment through AFMS. it further says They do not need any 'separate letter'. it means ESM card issued by ZSB will do.
