Regional Centre & Polyclinic Contact Details
The Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) provides cashless outpatient care and referral to empanelled hospitals for Ex-Servicemen, war widows and their dependants, through a nationwide network of polyclinics organised under Regional Centres and Station HQs.

- • War widows and dependent family members
- • Retired personnel drawing pension, on payment of the prescribed one-time contribution
This directory lists real contact details — OIC name, phone, mobile, email and address — for 764 Regional Centres, Station HQs and Polyclinics across India, searchable by state.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my nearest ECHS polyclinic?
Search the ECHS directory by state or city — it lists real contact details for Regional Centres, Station HQs and individual Polyclinics, or call the toll-free helpline 1800-114-115.
Who do I contact for state welfare scheme queries?
Your state's Rajya Sainik Board (RSB) is the first point of contact — it coordinates the district-level Zila Sainik Boards. Real RSB addresses and phone numbers for every state are on the full state-by-state guide.
Is ESM Corner an official government service?
No. This is an independent directory compiling publicly available information from the Kendriya Sainik Board guide and official ECHS/RSB sources. Always confirm current details with the relevant authority.
