The Central Organisation ECHS, which is a part of the Adjutant General’s Branch under the Integrated HQ of MoD (Army), has issued a letter dated 1st March 2023 regarding the signing of online generated temporary slips. The letter states that in the new 64 KB Card system, an online temporary slip can be generated for each dependent, which is to be activated by the OIC Parent Polyclinic. In exceptional circumstances, the online temporary slip can also be countersigned and activated by any OIC Non Parent Polyclinic. The OIC Polyclinic needs to ensure the validation of various documents such as PPO/Pension Book, Earlier ECHS Card, Proof of non drawl of FMA, Proof of one-time subscription, Name in the PPO/Service Book/Income Proof, and Aadhar Card (As Photo ID Proof). The temporary slip will be initially valid for six months or until the card is handed over and can be further extended each time by three months until the ECHS beneficiary is handed over the card or SMS OTP sent for collection, whichever is earlier.
