OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub:- Issue ofĀ Identity CardsĀ to Central Government PensionersĀ āreg.
The undersigned is directed to say thatĀ instructionsĀ were issued vide this Department OM No.41/21/2000 dated 16/11/2000 for issue ofĀ Identity CardsĀ to Central Govt.Ā Pensioners. These instructionsĀ have been reiterated vide this Department’s letter of evenĀ numberĀ dated 30thĀ April, 2013.
2. Clarifications have been sought by various Departments/ Associations/Ā pensionersĀ in regard to issue of Identity Card toĀ Pensioners’. The matter has been examined and the position / clarifications are as under:
| (i) Whether NationalĀ EmblemĀ or Ashoka Chakra is to be printed onĀ Pensioners’ Identity Card to facilitate their entry into the Government Buildings. | TheĀ pensionersĀ are retired Government servants. The Identity Card only establishes the identity of the person and it does not confer any right on the pensioner to enter into a security zone. Therefore, it would not be necessary to have the NationalĀ EmblemĀ on theirĀ Identity Cards. |
| (ii) WhetherĀ Pensioners’ Identity Card can be issued to retired employees covered under NPS. | The concerned Ministries / Departments may issueĀ Pensioners’ Identity Card (PIC) to retired NPS employees. A revised format forPensioners’ Identity Card, forĀ pensionersĀ retiring under Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules 1972 (or other corresponding rules) is at Annexure I. A format forĀ Pensioners’ IdentityCard forĀ pensionersĀ retiring under New Pension System is at Annexure II. |
| (iii) Issue ofĀ Pensioners’ Identity Card (PIC) to absorbee /pro rataĀ pensioners. | InstructionsĀ issued by this Department cover only the retired/retiring Central Government employees. On permanent absorption in a PSU , the employee severe their connections with the Government and are treated as employees of the PSU in which they are absorbed. Such absorbees generally do not require frequent interaction with the Ministry/Department where they were working prior to their permanent absorption. Therefore there is no justification for issuing Identity Card to PSU absorbees. |
| (iv) Issue ofĀ Pensioners’ Identity Card to Retired All India Service Officers. | TheĀ pensioners’ Identity Card is issued by the Department in which the employee last worked. Therefore, in the case of IAS officer retiring while on Central deputation, the Identity Card may be issued by concerned Ministry / Department. In case of officer retiring from State Government, the Identity Card may be issued by the concerned State Government. |
