ANSWER

MINISTER OF DEFENCE (SHRI GEORGE FERNANDES)

(a) to (c): Based on the representations made by the Staff
Associations, subsequent to the reply of Unstarred Question No.825
dated July 28, 1997, decision was taken to provide identity cards to
the retired AFHQ civilian employees to enable them to identify
themselves for any other activity including re-employment. These
identity cards have been introduced from 1st October 1999. The
identity cards are distinct and different from the ones which are
issued to Service personnel and civilian employees in active service.
The identity cards do not provide any special privilege like entry
into Ministry of Defence or any of the Services HQ and other defence
related establishments.

(d) As per present policy, retired defence civilian employees are not
authorised CSD canteen facilities.
