Sub: Regarding illegal recovery
towards CGHS contribution by divisional heads.
Respected sir,
This
union has brought to notice regarding unauthorized recovery towards CGHS
contribution in respect of officials residing beyond prescribed area covered by
CGHS i.e. Wellness centre Ambernath.
In
this regard, your honours kind attention is invited GOI MOHFW, Directorate of CGHS
No. C14012/02/2018/CHGS-III/DIR dated 06th April 2018 regarding
clarification regarding demarcation of CGHS covered areas under CGHS Wellness
centre. Vide the clarification under reference it is clarified that “The
coverage of CGHS shall limited to the areas within 5 km (approx.) radius of the
CGHS wellness centre, in all CGHS covered cities, where such demarcation was
not specified.”
The
serving Central government employees residing outside the CGHS area s shall be
covered under CS (MA) Rules. However, in all CGHS covered cities the serving
Central government employees residing within Municipal limits in the city,
shall be given a onetime choice to opt for CGHS (instead of CS(MA) Rules) from
the nearest CGHS wellness Centre. It is brought to notice of your honour that
all divisional heads/DDOs are being compulsorily deducting CGHS contributions
in respect of the officials who residing the beyond the prescribed limit of
CGHS covered area/wellness centre Ambernath where CS(MA) facility available.
It is
therefore requested to please give instructions to all divisional head/DDOs to
stop illegal recovery towards CGHS contributions in respect of officials who
not residing in CGHS area/Wellness centre Ambernath. I shall remain highly
thankful to you for doing the needful.
With
warm regards.
Yours sincerely,
