The increased fixed medical allowance to 3000 from 1000 may be send to my mail to claim my office.
This is highly comforting. After retitrment pensioners are suffering from many chronic ailments… like stroke heart problems etc. Treatment at pvt. Hosoitals run in to lakhs. In govt hospitals (taluk hosptls only general practitioners are available. At times even storvastatin is not available. In pvt. Chemists it costs rs 40/- for 19 nos. So is the case with many medcines, calaptine. Aspirin, amlodipine even PCM. Cg pensioner.
Sir, it is completely useful for Central Govt. Employees & Pensioners. We are retired and EPS Pensioners. Anyway thankx to Central Govt.long live………..thankx for your information
I am a pensioner living in Kolkata. I retired from CSIR (autonomous body) which is not covered by CGHS and hence I have been receiving a fixed medical allowance of Rs.1000 per month. Now with the increase in fixed medical allowance will the CSIR pensioners also be entitled to receive ₹3000 per month as fixed medical allowance?
Will this be benefitted to employees who are covered under Department of Atomic Energy like B.A.R.C., tata memorial Centre &others?
