Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh says, “Flexi (Flexible)” attendance option has been further extended till June 15, in view of the current COVID pandemic situation.

Renews his appeal to all Central Government Employees aged 18 years and above to get themselves vaccinated at the earliest

Chairing a meeting of senior officers of Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT), Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh informed that the “Flexi (Flexible)” attendance option has been further extended till June 15, in view of the current COVID pandemic situation.

This is in continuation of an earlier order providing for the flexy attendance in the offices. Prior to that, the offices were expected to function on a pattern of 50% attendance.

The key highlights of the present order are (a) Secretaries of the Ministries/Departments and Heads of Department of Attached & Subordinate Offices are mandated to regulate the attendance of its employees, at all levels, keeping in view the COVID positive cases in the office and the functional requirement. (b) Persons with Disabilities and Pregnant Women employees may be exempted from attending office, but they shall continue to work from home. (c) officers/staff shall follow staggered timings to avoid overcrowding in offices/workplaces as decided by the Heads of Department (d) All officers/staff residing in the containment zone shall be exempted from coming to offices till the containment zone is denotified. These officers/staff who are residing in the Containment Zone shall work from home and shall be available on telephone and electronic means of communications at all times (e) All officials who attend office shall strictly follow Covid-appropriate behaviour including wearing of mask, physical distancing, use of sanitizer and frequent hand-washing with soap and water.

The Minister also hoped that all these instructions will be followed in letter and spirit in the interest of the well-being of all the citizens and government employees and their families. He, however, reiterated that official work will not be allowed to suffer and all attempts will be made to minimise the loss of man-days on account of government employees falling sick on account of COVID.

Dr Jitendra Singh expressed satisfaction that the concept of “vaccination at workplace” had emerged as a successful model and urged the States/UTs to emulate the same. He said, at the vaccination centre set up at the North Block, over 228 had received vaccination so far and said that such centres are also being set up in other Central Government offices and departments. He once again renewed his appeal for speedy vaccination of all the eligible central government employees of the age of 18 years and above.

Dr Jitendra Singh recalled that during the last one year of the pandemic, DoPT had developed a set of guidelines to be followed in the government offices, which not only sought to contain the spread of CoronaVirus but also aimed to carry on the office functioning effectively and without interruption. He said, the Work from Home (WFH) protocol developed by DoPT had been so successful that many a time, the work output was even more than the normal circumstances because government functionaries were working online even on the weekdays or holidays.

केंद्रीय मंत्री डॉ. जितेंद्र सिंह ने कहा कोविड महामारी की वर्तमान स्थिति देखते हुए फ्लेक्सी (फ्लेक्सिबल) उपस्थिति विकल्प को 15 जून तक बढ़ा दिया गया है

उन्होंने 18 वर्ष या उससे ज्यादा उम्र के केंद्र सरकार के सभी कर्मचारियों से अपनी अपील को दुहराते हुए कहा कि वे जल्द से जल्द खुद का टीकाकरण करवाएं

कार्मिक एवं प्रशिक्षण विभाग (डीओपीटी) के वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों की बैठक की अध्यक्षता करते हुए, केंद्रीय राज्य मंत्री (स्वतंत्र प्रभार) पूर्वोत्तर क्षेत्र विकास (डोनर), प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय में राज्य मंत्री, कार्मिक, लोक शिकायत, पेंशन, परमाणु ऊर्जा और अंतरिक्ष मंत्री, डॉ. जितेंद्र सिंह ने कहा कि कोविड महामारी की वर्तमान स्थिति देखते हुए फ्लेक्सी (फ्लेक्सिबल) उपस्थिति के विकल्प को 15 जून तक बढ़ा दिया गया है।

यह कार्यालयों में फ्लेक्सी उपस्थिति का प्रावधान करने वाले पहले आदेश की निरंतरता है। इससे पहले, कार्यालयों में 50 प्रतिशत उपस्थिति के पैटर्न पर कार्य होने की उम्मीद थी।

वर्तमान आदेश की मुख्य बातें (क) मंत्रालयों/विभागों के सचिवों और संलग्न और अधीनस्थ कार्यालयों के प्रमुखों को कार्यालय में कोविड के पॉजिटिव मामलों और कार्यात्मक आवश्यकताओं को ध्यान में रखते हुए सभी स्तरों पर अपने कर्मचारियों की उपस्थिति को विनियमित करना अनिवार्य किया गया है। (ख) विकलांग व्यक्तियों और गर्भवती महिला कर्मचारियों को कार्यालय आने से छूट प्रदान की जा सकती है, लेकिन वे घर से काम करते रहेंगे। (ग) भीड़भाड़ से बचने के लिए अधिकारी/कर्मचारी विभाग के प्रमुखों द्वारा तय किए गए कार्यालयों/कार्यस्थलों में अलग-अलग समय का पालन करेंगे। (घ) कंटेनमेंट जोन में रहने वाले सभी अधिकारियों/कर्मचारियों को तब तक कार्यालय में आने से छूट प्रदान की जाएगी जब तक कि कंटेनमेंट जोन को डिनोटिफाई नहीं किया जाता है। ये अधिकारी/कर्मचारी, जो कंटेनमेंट जोन में रह रहे हैं, घर से काम करेंगे और हमेशा टेलीफोन और संचार के इलेक्ट्रॉनिक साधनों के माध्यम से उपलब्ध रहेंगें। (ङ) कार्यालय में उपस्थित होने वाले सभी अधिकारी कोविड-उपयुक्त व्यवहार का कड़ाई से पालन करेंगे, जिसमें मास्क पहनना, शारीरिक दूरी का पालन करना, सैनिटाइजर का उपयोग करना और साबुन और पानी से बार-बार हाथ धोना शामिल है।

मंत्री ने आशा व्यक्त किया कि इन सभी निर्देशों का पालन सभी नागरिकों और सरकारी कर्मचारियों और उनके परिवारों के हित में पूर्ण रूप से किया जाएगा। हालांकि उन्होंने इस बात को दोहराया कि सरकारी काम को प्रभावित नहीं होने दिया जाएगा और कोविड के कारण सरकारी कर्मचारियों के बीमार पड़ने से होने वाले मानव दिवसों के नुकसान को कम करने की दिशा में सभी प्रयास किए जाएंगे।

डॉ. जितेंद्र सिंह ने इस बात पर संतोष व्यक्त किया कि कार्यस्थलों पर टीकाकरण करने की अवधारणा एक सफल मॉडल के रूप में उभर कर सामने आई है और उन्होंने राज्यों/केंद्र शासित प्रदेशों से इसका अनुकरण करने का आग्रह किया। उन्होंने बताया कि नार्थ ब्लॉक में चलाए जा रहे टीकाकरण केंद्र में अब तक 228 से ज्यादा लोगों का टीकाकरण किया जा चुका है और कहा कि केंद्र सरकार के अन्य कार्यालयों और विभागों में भी इस प्रकार के केंद्र स्थापित किए जा रहे हैं। उन्होंने एक बार फिर से 18 वर्ष या उससे ज्यादा उम्र के सभी पात्र केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों को जल्द से जल्द टीका लगवाने की अपील को दोहराया।

डॉ. जितेंद्र सिंह ने याद किया कि महामारी के दौरान पिछले एक वर्ष में, डीओपीटी ने सरकारी कार्यालयों में पालन किए जाने वाले दिशा-निर्देशों का एक सेट विकसित किया है, जिसका उद्देश्य न केवल कोरोनवायरस के प्रसार को रोकना है बल्कि इसमें कार्यालय को प्रभावी रूप से और बिना किसी रुकावट के चलाने का लक्ष्य भी शामिल किया गया है। उन्होंने कहा, डीओपीटी द्वारा विकसित किया गया वर्क फ्रॉम होम (डब्ल्यूएफएच) प्रोटोकॉल इतना सफल रहा है कि कई बार यहां पर होने वाला काम सामान्य परिस्थितियों से भी ज्यादा होता है क्योंकि सरकारी कर्मचारी कार्यदिवसों या छुट्टियों के दिन भी ऑनलाइन काम करते हैं।

Family Pension Rules simplified in view of the COVID pandemic: Dr Jitendra Singh

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh informed here today that the Family Pension Rules have been simplified in view of the COVID pandemic.

Giving a brief about the important reforms undertaken by the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare (DoP&PW) during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Jitendra Singh said, a provision was recently made for the Provisional Family Pension to be sanctioned immediately on receipt of claim for Family Pension and Death Certificate from the eligible family member without waiting for other formalities or procedural requirements to be completed. This provision, he said, is applicable in case of death happening during the pandemic, either because of COVID or because of non-COVID cause.

In accordance with Rules 80 (A) of the CCS (Pension) Rule 1972, on death of the government servant during service, Provisional Family Pension could be sanctioned to the eligible member of the family, only after the Family Pension case has been forwarded to the Pay and Accounts Office. However, in view of the ongoing pandemic, instructions were issued that Provisional Family Pension may be sanctioned immediately on receipt of a claim for Family Pension and Death Certificate from the eligible family member, without waiting for forwarding of the Family Pension case to Pay and Accounts Office.

Similarly, the Minister informed that in view of the COVID pandemic another important reform announced recently provides that payment of Provisional Pension may be extended up to a period of one year from the date of retirement with the concurrence of PAO and after the approval by the Head of the Department.

As per the Rule 64 of CCS (Pension), 1972, Provisional Pension is normally sanctioned for a period of six months in cases whether a government servant is likely to retire before finalization of his pension. However, in view of the COVID pandemic, instructions were issued for grant of Provisional Family Pension in accordance to Rule 64 where there is a delay in submission of papers.

Dr Jitendra Singh said, in the wake of the pandemic, the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare has been, from time to time, very sensitively responding to each of the issues concerned with Pensioners and elder citizens. Reforms are also being undertaken accordingly, he added.

Sub : Appeal for contribution to provide financial assistance to the dependent family members of the employees who expired after the start of Covid pandemic – regarding

Please refer to this office letter of even number dated 07.05.2021 and subsequent reminder dated 17&18.05.2021 on the above noted subject where under an appeal was made to all Navodayans to give consent for voluntary contribution of their 02 days salary from the month of May, 2021 so as to provide monetary relief of around Rs. 2.00 Lakh or more to the families of the deceased NVS employees, demised while in service from 01 April, 2020 onward. This was with the intention to provide some extra relief to the families of our beloved colleagues besides all the death benefits extended to them as per NVS/Govt. rules.

2. The consent for aforesaid contribution received from the employees is not very encouraging as the figure of employees who have consented for the above contribution is not inspiring and out of them many volunteered for less than 02 days of their salary’s contribution.

3. We Navodayans always stood with our colleagues and their families during their hard time. When the whole world is struggling with the pandemic we should extend our little monetary support to the families of our deceased colleagues. This may prove to be a great help for their families and it will be a true tribute to the departed souls.

4. Notwithstanding the above, continuous efforts are being made by the Samiti, in consultation with the Ministry of Education for implementation of various welfare schemes in respect of NVS employees. The same will be shared in public domain, after receipt of the approval from Govt.

5. It is further requested that the employees under your jurisdiction who have not consented to contribute or who have consented to contribute less than 02 days salary be motivated to come forward to contribute at least two days of their salary for the month of May/June, 2021 to provide a little monetary relief to the families of our deceased colleagues.

6. The deductions in respect of the employees who have volunteered for contribution for this noble cause may be made from the salary for the month of May, 2021 as already communicated telephonically and the consolidated amount may be retained in the Regional Office till further orders.

7. Further, it is requested to submit following information by 2.00 PM on 28.05.2021, positively to the undersigned through email ID nvsparliamentagmail.com

i. The consolidated list of employees who volunteered for the above contribution as per the format attached as Annexure-I.

ii. The consolidated list of employees who DO NOT volunteered for the above contribution as per the format attached as Annexure-II.

iii. Consolidated amount of contribution as per the format attached as Annexure-III.

iv. Details of employees demised w.e.f. 01.04.2020 as per the format attached as Annexure-IV.

The Dy Commissioner/Director,

All Regional offices/ZIETs

Sub : Clarification on modalities for taking medical treatment by KVS Employees under CS(MA)/CGHS Rules – Reg.

Madan/Sir,

This office is in receipt of various queries from different stakeholders seeking for clarifications about the procedure/admissibility of re-imbursement of medical claims in respect of medical attendance/treatment taken by them and their families. In this regard, it is intimated that various clarifications were already issued by KVS Hqrs from time to time, which are however, re-iterated once again as hereunder, for ready reference of all the concerned.

2. The medical attendance & treatment in respect of employees posted at KVS Hqrs New Delhi and certain ROs/KVs which are covered under CGHS, are regulated as per CGHS rules. Hence, the procedure for taking treatment will be strictly in accordance with the directions issued by the CGHS from time to time in this regard and the claims will be admissible/admitted as per extant rules.

2.1 In case of in-patient treatment taken by a CGHS beneficiary in a CGHS empanelled Pvt hospital, medicines for a period of upto 7 days at the time of discharge, for a total cost not exceeding to Rs. 2000/-, may be purchased by the employee from the treating hospital or may get them from a CGHS dispensary, as may be convenient to him/her(Gol, M/o Health &FW, OM dt 22th Jun’2014).

3. The medical treatment/attendance in respect of all other employees posted in the places of those ROs/Kendriya Vidyalayas/ZIETs which are not covered CGHS Rules, are regulated as per CS(MA) Rules 1944, that are summarised as under:

(A) The re-imbursement towards medical attendance/treatment taken in any Govt Hospitals/AMAs by the employees/their families are settled by the respective DDOs viz, Principals/DCs of the respective units, being delegated with full powers in this regard. The Govt Hospital for the KV employees shall include Cantonment, IIT and University Hospitals, w.r.t to the definition of Govt Hospital as defined under Rule (2) of CS(MA) Rules.

(B) Further, any medical attendance/treatment taken in emergent situation in a PRIVATE hospital which is NOT recognised under CGHS/CS(MA)Rules, will be regulated, in relaxation of rules, in accordance with the provisions as contained in Appdx VIII of the CS(MA) Rules, with the approval of the respective competent authority of KVS, as delegated, viz, the claims of pre-audited amount of upto Rs 50,000/- (actual expenditure or limited to Govt/ CGHS rates, whichever is less), will be admitted with the approval of respective DCs, and beyond, with the approval of KVS Hqrs, as circulated vide Office Order dated 08.6.2017.

(C) However, in respect of the medical attendance/treatment taken in a PRIVATE hospital which is recognised by the State Govt/CGHS/CS(MA) Rules, the claims will be regulated as per GID(12) under Rule 2 of CS(MA) Rules. Some clarifications were accordingly issued earlier also by the KVS Hars vide letter dated 08.3.2006, which are re-iterated once again for general information, as under:

(i) The specialized treatment in a private hospital recognised for such specialized purposes is permissible only after the specialist in a Govt Hospital/CMO of the Distt advises procedure in writing. In such cases, the Dy Commissioner of the Regional Office will be competent to accord permission to the officers and staff of RO and Vidyalayas except Gp “A” Officers of RO.

(ii) An employee can take OPD treatment directly in private hospitals recognized for general purposes under Rule 2(d) of CS(MA) Rules,1944, without prior permission.

(iii) However, an IPD (Indoor) treatment in such Pvt hospitals recognised for general purposes under Rule 2(d) of CS(MA) Rules, will be taken with the prior approval of the competent authority, i.e. the Dy Commissioner of the Region in respect of staff of RO/KVs except Gp “A” Officers of RO, for whom permission will be obtained from KVS Hars. In all such cases, the medical re-imbursement will be admissible/payable as per actual expenditure or limited to Govt/CGHS/approved rates, whichever is less,

4. The above clarifications are illustrative only and not exhaustive. Hence, the medical attendance/treatment may be resorted to by the employees as per the need of the hour and submit their medical claims to their Controlling Officer, who will process the same as per extant CS(MA)/CGHS Rules, as applicable.

This issues with the approval of Joint Commissioner (Fin), KVS.

Hindi version follows.

Yours sincerely,

Grant of provisional family pension to the dependants of CG Employees who died in harness due to covid – Confederation writes to DOPPW

Dated – 27.05.2021

The Secretary,
Pension,
Department of Pension and Pensioner Welfare
Lok Navak Bhawan, New Delhi. 110 001.

Dear Sir,

Sub :- Grant of provisional family pension to the dependants of Central government employees who died in harness due to covid.

As you are aware, a number of Central Government employees died since November, 2019, having been afflicted with the corona covid 19 virus. The grant of family pension and other retirement benefits in their cases get delayed due to the delay in the completion of procedural formalities such as obtaining the medical certificate from the hospital where the concerned employees had undergone treatment, establishing the relationship etc. This apart, the lack of staff in the accounting formations of the concerned department also adds to the delay. This being unavoidable the dependant family members suffer.

We, therefore, request that the concerned heads of departments may be temporarily authorised to grant provisional pension and other retirement benefits to the dependants of such employees who dies due to covid 19. The heads of Departments may be asked to obtain the requisite undertaking from the dependant beneficiaries in order to enable him to recover any excess payment when the final dues are worked out.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

R. N. Parashar
Secretary General.
