latest update 15nth july 2021

Friends will recall my posts of some time back, where I gave the status report of all the cases filed by me and pending before CAT for grant of a notional increment to Government pensioners who retired on 30th of June of any year. I feel  happy to inform that today Hon'ble Principal Bench of the CAT has allowed those OAs directing GOI Ministries/ Departments to grant one notional increment to all the Government officials who retired on 30 th June/ 31st December ( for old cases) of any year and then recalculate the pensionary benefits, and release the arrears of pensionary benefits within three months. The Government pensioners will have to give an undertaking that in case Government wins in Supreme Court, pensioners will refund the additional amount received by them. I am available for any further information/ clarifications.

Annual Health Check up in respect of CGHS Beneficiaries

To

Dr Sanjay Jain,
Director / CGHS,
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
Nirman Bhavan, New Delhi

Sub:- Annual Health Check up in respect of CGHS Beneficiaries aged 75 years and above st HCOs empaneled hospitals : Clarification :  sought for

Ref:- CGHS Directorate, New Delhi letter No Z-15025/36/2019/DIR/CGHS/CGHS (P) dated 19-08-2019 (copy attached for ready reference)

Dear Sir,

           It is submitted for your kind information that  vide the above letter "permission in respect of CGHS Pensioners beneficiaries (Primary Card Holders) aged 75 years and above has been accorded to undergo Annual Health Check up at any empaneled hospital (HCOs)  after obtaining necessary approval/referral letter/memo from the CMO incharge concerned of their CGHS Wellness Center/Dispensary"

2.       In this context, it is brought to your kind notice that the above letter is silent in extending similar facility (Annual Health Check up) to the family pensioner beneficiaries (secondary card holders) (like spouse, mother etc.,) aged 75 years and above. It is a clear injustice to those dependent beneficiaries who are aged 75 years and above. Though a search was made to locate a subsequent CGHS orders modifying the above stipulation of only "primary card holder" and extending this facility to similarly placed beneficiaries,  unfortunately, no such orders could  be located. Beneficiaries have been approaching this Association (CBWAI) with a request to take up the matter with CGHS Directorate for getting this facility extended to all similarly placed beneficiaries. Hence this appeal is submitted for the kind consideration of CGHS Directorate for issue of suitable amendment to the order under reference extending the facility of Annual Health Check up to all dependent beneficiaries who are aged 75 years and above with same terms and conditions enumerated therein.

3.       Further it is submitted that the beneficiaries pan India desire and demand that the age stipulation indicated in the above order may be brought down to 65 years and above instead of 75 years and above, which may kindly be considered favourably and suitable orders issued at the earliest which will go a long way in helping the beneficiaries in that age segment for availing hassle free Annual Health Check up.   As earlier requested by this Association in the backdrop of orders issued by CGHS Directorate simplifying the referral procedures whereby permitting the beneficiaries aged 75 years and above to approach directly (without obtaining the referral letter / memo from the CMO incharge of concerned CGHS Wellness Center) the empaneled hospitals HCOs for availing  consultation facilities;  to apply the same analogy of 65 years of age and above instead of 75 years of age and above; which in turn help them to avoid the cumbersome process of obtaining referral letter/ memo from the Dispensary.

4.          Summing up, this Association expect that CGHS Directorate would consider the above proposals favourably and issue a consolidated and comprehensive order covering all the genuine demands put forth by the beneficiaries.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Once again thank CGHS Directorate for the prompt response and suitable action

Sub:- Refusal of admission to Covid 19 patients by empaneled hospitals on the plea of non availability of beds : Reg

 

Ref:- Your letter dated 22-12-2020 (copy attached)

 

Dear Sir,

 

Despite issue of clear  instructions & directives as contained in the above referred letter  to all the CGHS empaneled hospitals in the country, there is not much improvement in the situation. Still HCOs ( empaneled hospitals) are following the same tactics of denying admission to Covid 19 patients (especially senior CGHS beneficaries) on the plea of non availability of beds or else indirectly pressurising the relatives of patients to deposit huge amount for providing admission. This is happening because of the main reason that the ADs CGHS & CMO incharges are not strictly exercising their powers and fail to take stringent action against the defaulters. The recent incidents at Jabalpur, Kolkata, Hyderabad are relevant. May I therefore request you Sir, to issue strict directives to all ADs CGHS to monitor the situation in an appropriate manner such that no CGHS beneficiaries especially Covid 19 positive cases, are refused admission.  ADs CGHS  & CMO incharges, under such emergency situations, must come forward to help the patients for getting admitted after duly verifying the availability of beds in the empaneled hospitals (HCOs). It is the complaint rather grievance of most of the beneficaries in the country that certain ADs CGHS/CMO incharges do not give any importance in the subject matter; rather indirectly supporting the empaneled hospitals. This is really a most unfortunate and grave situation especially taking into account the present surge of Covid 19 pandemic cases in the country every day and that  many senior beneficaries are loosing their lives due to non availability of timely treatment facilities/hospital admission. The availability of bed position in each of the empaneled hospitals must be available with both CMO incharge concerned as well as the AD CGHS  Therefore, this Association would most sincerely request you to kindly issue suitable directives to all concerned in this regard on priority basis.

 

      A copy of the letter issued in this regard to all ADs CGHS may kindly be provided to this Association - CBWAI so that beneficaries can be made aware of the situation

 

Thanking you,

Freezing of DA to Central Government Employees

To

The Cabinet Secretary,

Cabinet secretariat,

“Rashtrapati Bhavan”

New Delhi.

 Sir,

                                   Subject : Freezing of DA to Central Government Employees and

                                                      DR to Central Government Pensioners at current rate till July,

                                                      2021--------Request for re-consideration and issuance of

                                                                                   de- freezing order--  regarding.

                   The decision of the Central Government for freezing of dearness allowances / relief as communicated vide

 the OM of the Department of Expenditure dated 23.04.2020 denying the payment of additional DA/DR

due from 01.01.2020 and also the subsequent additional instalments likely to be due from 01.07.2020

and 01.01.2021 till 30.06.2021 causing the ongoing crisis of Corona Virus Pandemic – has came as a big

blow to the pensioners as a whole and especially the fellow Pensioners of this Association who are

presently coping with ongoing pandemic trauma.

                   The above referred order appears to be deadly against the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s speech in which he apprised that     

“ Look after Senior Citizens and do not cut salary. Senior citizens are  more venerable to catching COVID-19

  Virus than others”. Moreover, it is absolutely against even the verdict of Hon’ble Supreme Court whereas it stated that

pension is a right and not a bounty and thus the Government  cannot take a plea of financial  burden to

 deny legitimate  dues of the pensioners.” More so the right of the pension is being safeguarded by  

 the different pay/ pension Rules. 

                   It cannot be denied that Pensioners is a class who are mostly at the juncture of last span of their       

 lives and undergoing various hardships . When the Union of India has been doling out Financial Packages even  

to the big business houses and even the certain State Government has been allowed to waste Crores of rupees of Tax payers money part of which contributed by the pensioners who are of such income group level, issuance of order for freezing of DA @ 4% w.e.f 01.01.2020 and further up to 30.06.2021 appears to be illegal and  arbitrary as well and also will further increase the hardship of the pensioners who are solely dependent on their pensions. 

                   It is therefore, requested that the Government may kindly reconsider the decision and withdraw the same and issue a de-freezing order of DA/ DR by paying DA/DR @ 4% with effect from 01.01.2020 onwards to the Pensioners.

 

                                                                                                                                                                   Yours faithfully,

 

                                                                                             ( CHANCHAL BHATTACHARYYA)
