How can a retired person apply for a certified copy of his service book if needed.Does he need to be present in person.
Anirudh (Expert) 07 April 2015
If the service book belongs to you, then you can ask for a copy of the same. The rules provide for it. However, you will not be able to get a copy of somebody else's service book.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 07 April 2015
The information can not be sought under provisions of RTI.

will it not be provided after written permission from the employee.
Anirudh (Expert) 08 April 2015
Please do not go about in the rounds.
Please come straight.f
Whose service book that you are trying to get? Is it yours? If yes, apply for it straight away. You will get it.

If it is of somebody elses, and that somebody himself can apply for and get it and make it available to you (instead of giving written permission). You can ofcourse bear the costs.

i am trying to get the service book of my father who retired about 10 years ago
Guest (Expert) 08 April 2015
Not a legal problem. Your father could have directly applied to his employer. Nobody, including you, don't have any right to ask for a copy of service book of your father.
Dhan bahadur sonar (Querist) 08 April 2015
sir i would also like to ask whether the documents of Service book will be helpful in registering in NRC.


Guest (Expert) 08 April 2015
Whether service book will be helpful or not that depends upon rules of NRC. Consult the concerned department dealing with NRC.

Thank you very much for the advice.
Guest (Expert) 08 April 2015
You are welcome.
Anirudh (Expert) 08 April 2015
Whether your father is alive?

If so, ask him to apply to his department for the copy of his Service book. They will charge some amount for making photocopy etc.
