In the PNM/N.FIR Meeting with Board, the Federation has brought to notice that the condition incorporated in RSPR-1986 vide above referred ACS; has restricted the weightage of half of past non-railway service for determining 20 years of qualifying service for PRCP facility only to the lateral entrants who had got their past service counted alongwith the railway service for pensionary benefits and it has resulted in disadvantage to the ex-servicemen who did not opt for such counting of their previous service while joining the railways.
2. After detailed examination, it has been decided to remove the said condition so as to extend the benefit of weight age equivalent to half of past non-railway service uniformly to all ex-servicemen and other such affected lateral entrants to cover the shortfall in the minimum requisite railway service of 20 years for PRCP facility. Accordingly, the Competent Authority has accorded his approval for amending Item No.(xi) under Col.3 of Schedule-IV (Post Retirement Complimentary Pass) of RSPR-1986 as follows:-
“(xi) In case of lateral entrants to railway service, including ex-servicemen, half of previous non-railway service rendered in the establishments of Central/State Government will be added to the actual railway service for determining their eligibility to Post Retirement Complimentary Passes”.
3. In the case of retired lateral entrants, who have now become eligible for PRCP facility under the above provision, the Pass Issuing Authority (PIA) from where such employees retired will process the requests and extend the facility as per rules on the basis of past service records/documents. Similarly, in the case of deceased lateral entrants, Widow Pass facility, as admissible under the rules, may be extended by the PIA from where the deceased employee retired. Such beneficiaries may also be permitted to get their pass accounts transferred to the PIA of their choice.
4.The PRCP/Widow Pass under the above provision will be issued to the eligible lateral entrant/spouse only from the current calendar year.

The 94th Raising Day of the Military Nursing Service (MNS) is being celebrated today. Additional Director General (MNS) Major General Joyce Gladys Roach; Principal Matron, Army Hospital (Referral & Research) Major General Sonali Ghoshal laid wreath and paid homage to martyrs at National War Memorial this afternoon. Nursing officers once again rededicated themselves to render high quality, selfless nursing care to their patients by reading the Florence Nightingale Pledge on the occasion.
The MNS is the only all women corps in the Armed Forces. It came into being on March 28, 1888 with the arrival of first batch of 10 qualified British Nurses in Bombay (now Mumbai), to organise nursing in Military hospitals in India. In 1893 it was designated as Indian Army Nursing Service (IANS) and in 1902 as Queen Alexandra Military Nursing Service (QAMNS). In 1914 for the first time Nurses were enrolled in India and were attached to QAMNS.
On October 1, 1926, a permanent Nursing Service for the Indian troops was formed and was designated as the Indian Military Nursing Service (IMNS). The IMNS made a humble beginning and their work was universally acclaimed. On September 15, 1943, the IMNS officers became a part of the Indian Army and the members of service became Commissioned Officers. The organisation is headed at the Army Headquarters by ADG MNS at the Rank of Maj General and at command level by Brigadier MNS in the rank of Brigadier.
Enrolment into the Military Nursing Service is based on the merit selection at all India level. The candidates are enrolled at six Colleges of Nursing for Basic BSc (N) from various health sciences universities. On successful completion of the course they are granted Permanent or Short Service Commission in the Military Nursing Service in the rank of Lieutenant.
