As a measure to assist retired employees, the State Government has initiated a proposal for issuing identity cards to them.
This was decided at a meeting presided over by Chief Secretary Bijay Kumar Patnaik on Saturday. The meeting has proposed that retired State Government employees will be issued identity cards. The cards will be useful to them on various occasions as a proof of identity. The Public Grievances and Pension Administration Department will prepare the necessary guidelines in this regard. The cards will be issued by the heads of the offices from where the employee retires.
The cards will indicate information such as name, photograph, signature, post held at the time of retirement, date of birth, date of superannuation, blood group, telephone number and residential address.
The retired employee will have to apply in a prescribed format with photograph to the head of office concerned. The expenses toward preparation of the card will be borne by the employee.
Tentatively, it has been decided to keep the expenditure limited to around Rs 20 per card. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievance and Pension has also decided to issue such types of cards to retired Central Government employees.
