there is going to be a CASHLESS TRANSACTION in our Military canteens very soon.
For serving Personnel , it is already in force from January 2017.
For Ex-Servicemen, the system may come in to force from Mach / April 2017.
Hence, you are all advised to obtain Credit/ Debit/ ATM card as early as possible to avoid inconvenience.
Go through the following News.:
servicemen and their dependents would not be able to make purchases at the canteen stores department (CSD) canteens after February 28 if they do not possess a debit or credit card in their name.
Going with the Union government's cashless campaign, the CSD has announced that only plastic money (credit or debit card) payment would be received for any purchases from March 1 at canteens located in various cantonment and major cities.
The decision is going to have direct impact on around 8 lakh military veterans and their families in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh.
As per the notices placed outside the CSD canteens, "Only debit/credit card will be accepted from March 1, 2017. No cash will be accepted in the canteen. All ex-servicemen and their dependents are requested to obtain cards at the earliest to avoid inconvenience".
The notice further clarifies that the card should be in the name of smart card holder only. It means the ex-servicemen would not be able to make any purchases by using the debit or credit card of any other person.
