Our ECHS, Central Organisation has issued an
Advisory on 01-07-2021 regarding
cancellation / Blocking of ECHS cards of
Deceased Primary Members.
At present, when a Primary Member dies, his card will be cancelled/ Blocked and the other cards will be functional while the Spouse will become the Primary member automatically.
Now, to our surprise, this Advisory , Para 3(d) states that,
“ All the Cards will
remain functional once the card s of an ESM / Primary beneficiary will be
blocked due to demise for next 6 months. The new Primary
beneficiary will have to process for making fresh Cards , under change of DATA
and the online application well be verified by the respective Record
Office before printing new cards.”
Here, when the Primary
member dies, his card will be cancelled and the other cards will be functional
for another 6 months only.
The spouse has to register
for new cards for all again giving the New datas.
This is an unpleasant
news.
All our ESM Associations/ Organisations are requested to express our protest to ECHS Authorities and to press for continuing the present system.
Ref: B/ 49711/-NSC/ AG / ECHS dated 01-07-2021.
