As part of Naval Regimental System activities, 74
locations pan India were visited by the CRSO teams
during the year 2014-15 to reach out and interact with
widows’ of naval personnel.
This has resulted in expeditious redressal of grievance
and updating the audience on the latest policy letters
in force.
Visit programme for the year 2015-16 for interaction
with widows / ESMs and ZSBs/RSBs has also been
promulgated.
The process of reaching out to every ESM/widow/NOK
is long drawn, which cannot be achieved without the
help of those who are aware of the NRS. Therefore, it is
essential that Naval ESMs spread the message of NRS
to others and advise them to get in touch with the
concerned CRSO/RSU.

Navy has now introduced a booklet (like pass port) which
is the new "Service Certificate" that is being issued to the
retiring Officers. This has been introduced to maintain a
Tri-Service uniformity. Only Sailors were being issued such
a document at the time of their release. Whereas, Army
and Air Force have been issuing a similar document to all
their retiring personnel. Zila Sainik Boards refer to this
document as the "Discharge Book''.
For issuance and renewal of ESM/Widow I-Cards, many
Zila Sainik Boards are insisting for this new "Service
Certificate". Hence, all pensioners are hereby advised to
apply for the same and get the booklet issued. Necessary
instructions and forms required to be filled are attached
here with as six attachments.
Veterans who wish to apply for the new Discharge
Book (passport type) will have to print pages 1-4 and
fill them as per instructions for filling up (forwarded
vide e-mail serial No 28/2015). The new Discharge
Book has no bearing on the commencement /
continuation of service / family pension. It is likely to
be called for by Zila Sainik Boards for issuance/renewal
of ESM / Widows I-Card.
