Enrolment Certificates against such opt-out cases require to be terminated in the System.
Besides, a large number of enrolment certificates of employees and/or pensioners remain idle in the System due to their death, resignation and leaving of services. These records of enrolments also need to be terminated from the Portal regularly and all these are now being done by the different offices manually since no such system based functionality was developed in the Portal so far to deal such opt-out/termination cases.
In view of above and to make the entire process of opt-out/termination cases ONLINE, two different functionalities named Opted-Out from WBHS and Termination of Enrolment from WBHS have recently been developed In WBHS Portal.
Now, after careful consideration, the Governor is pleased to implement the above two functionalities in the WBHS Portal as per process flow of Annexure in the following manner:-

| 1 | Process flow for “Opted-Out from WBHS” through WBHS Portal. | I |
| 2 | Process flow for “Termination of Enrolment from WBHS” through WBHS Portal. | II |
This order shall come into effect from date of issue.
