How to Get a New CSD Smart Card

The discontinuation of the annual renewal of Canteen Smart Cards has been decided in light of the inconvenience it has caused to our veterans, Veer Naris, and Civil Defence Employees, both serving and retired. This policy will be discontinued effective from January 1st, 2023, to alleviate the inconvenience caused to beneficiaries. A mechanism will be established to deactivate the cards of deceased ESM/beneficiaries in coordination with PCDS and Sparsh. However, Unit Run Canteens will ensure that only valid CSD Smart Card holders are allowed entry to purchase CSD items. The management of URC will implement necessary measures at the formation and unit levels.

The following procedure will be implemented by CSD Unit Run Canteens: Upon receiving information about the demise of an ESM or beneficiary, the widow or NoK will be advised to apply for a Widow/NoK of ESM CSD Smart Card. The URC will prioritize the preparation of the card and assist in its creation. The Widow/NoK can continue to avail CSD facilities with the card of the deceased husband/beneficiary until they receive the new card. Once the new cards are received and activated, the old cards of the deceased husband/beneficiary will automatically be deactivated.
