What is a Zila Sainik Board (ZSB) ?
A Zila Sainik Board (ZSB) is the district-level office of the Sainik Welfare Department, working under the state Rajya/Directorate Sainik Board and the Kendriya Sainik Board (KSB). Every district in India has a ZSB office headed by a Zila Sainik Welfare Officer (ZSWO), who is usually a retired defence officer.
ZSBs are the first point of contact for ex-servicemen, war widows, serving personnel’s families, and dependents for a wide range of services — pension grievances, issue of ex-servicemen identity cards, ECHS-related coordination, educational and financial assistance schemes, employment guidance, and verification of documents for various welfare benefits.
This tool lets you find the correct ZSB office for your district — with address, phone number, and email where available — so you can reach the right office directly instead of visiting in person to ask.
