Issue of Identity Cards to retiring/retired Railway employees. Instruction were issued vide Board’s letters of even number dated 31.1.2002 and 26.9.2002 regarding issue of Identity cards to retiring/retired railway employees in the prescribed format on payment of Rs. 10 towards the cost of identity card. It has been brought to the notice of Board by AIRF that retired employees are facing difficulty in depositing the prescribed amount with the Chief Cashier for getting the identity cards. They have, therefore, suggested that retired employees may be allowed to deposit the money with the nearest station towards the cost of identity card. It has also been represented that retired employees find it difficult to get the required documents attested by a Gazetted officer, as such officers are not available in the locality where the retired employees are settled. The above two issues have been considered by Board and it has been decided that the requisite amount may be deposited at the nearest railway station/cash office by the pensioners under misc. receipt. The money receipt so obtained may be sent to the respective office along with other documents for getting the identity card. It has also been decided by Board that copies of the documents without attestation submitted by the pensioners, may be accepted for issue of identity cards, as the original documents are already available with the Railway administration. In case of doubt the same may be got verified from the concerned Zonal / Divisional headquarters. It may be ensured that requests received from Railway pensioners for issue of identity cards are attended to on priority. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railway.
