It is better you have a fresh photo as per the conditions

photographs/signatures on the Smart card at the time of presenting for
treatment at ECHS Polyclinic does not match, the ECHS membership may be
cancelled. Be careful. Very strict
military rules applied.
Note: Those who have lost their smart cards, those who
are having temporary slips and those who wish to join fresh are to apply
through on line now.. Those who are
having 16kb cards have to apply before Sep 2018. Those who are having 32kb cards can apply

above listed documents ready, you can apply easily. You need not go anywhere except to a correct
person who can upload your online application.
Your temporary slip will be generated online and you have to activate in
your polyclinic. Once your card is
ready, you will receive SMS, then you have to persosnally visit the Station HQ
to collect the Card.
Government of India issued instructions to abolish
affidavits and attestation, but the CO ECHS is not bothered. The Supreme Court orders not to insist
Aadhaar for anything upto Mar 2018.
Again the CO ECHS is not
bothered. Now a Sepoy to Hav have to pay
Rs.30,000 to join ECHS and pay Rs.12000 every year for availing this ECHS
service. The ECH Scheme is not free
scheme. We are paying heavily and
availing services under very strict military conditions.
The banks don’t bother to stop the FMA in spite of
repeated request by the pensioners in writing.
Now the CO ECHS says that they will suspend the ECHS cards till the time
all payments are refunded to the govt.
See how a nice service the ECHS is providing to its members.
Normally a smart card is costing only around 75 rupees
only all over India. But the ECHS asking
us to pay Rs.177 for each member of a family. Within 13 years we are compelled
to change the ECHS cards three times.
There is nobody to question this atrocity. Why can’t they renew the cards freely? Now for the online smart card application,
every member has to spend atleast Rs.3000.
One 85 year old family pensioner has to apply for PAN Card.
Any how this is the situation. We have to live with it. Go through this posting, if you have any
