Modernization of Service BookService-Book-Format.Click the above link to view.
NEW DELHI: All central government employees will, under a new
proposal of the central government, have to declare whether they have
two spouses in their service book.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has decided to
modernise the employees' service book to make it user-friendly, and
issued a new format. As per existing norms, no employee is allowed to
marry a person with a living spouse unless the central government gives
them permission.
The DoPT has sought comments on the new format of the service book.
If the proposal takes effect, the service book will have a person's
Aadhaar number and three photographs — one from the time of joining,
another after completion of 18 years in service and a third taken a year
ahead of the date of retirement.
A senior DoPT official said the inclusion of Aadhaar number in the
service book will help ensuring timely delivery of all pension-related
benefits to employees. There are about 50 lakh central government
employees working across the country.
