When a person ceases to be a member of the Central Industrial Security Force, they are required to surrender all official property and documents issued to them during their service. This includes their certificate of appointment, issued arms, and official clothing. An appreciation letter, being a personal recognition or commendation, is not official property to be returned and is typically kept by the individual.
Official items like appointment certificates, arms, and clothing are issued for duty and must be returned upon ceasing service, whereas personal commendations like appreciation letters are retained by the individual.
The requirement to surrender official items upon leaving service is standard procedure in all government departments and security forces to ensure accountability for government property.
