Dear Sir,
Sub: CGHS facilities to NPS covered Pensioners – Reg.
Ref: Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India’s G.O.No.S.11011/10/2012- CGHS(P)/EHS dated 28.03.2017 .
Your
kind attention is invited towards the above referred to O.M. dated 28″
March, 2017, wherein a condition of Minimum Qualifying Service of 10
years has been laid down for availing CGHS facilities for NPS covered
pensioners.
In this connection, it
would not be out of context to mention that, a substantial number of
Gramin Dak Sewaks became regular employees of the Postal Department,
crossing age of 50 years. All these GDSs, on having been regularized as
Postal Employees after 50 years of age, are thus deprived of CGHS
facilities on account of above-mentioned condition of minimum 10 years qualifying Service, as such, the said condition is uncalled for an irrational,
It
is, therefore, requested that, the matter may please be looked into in
the foregoing, and the same be dispensed with, So that, any regular
Government Employee on Superannuation, may be NPS covered pensioners,
should be allowed to avail CGHS facilities without any bar of Minimum Qualifying Service in the larger interest of justice.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-
