Subject : Simplification of procedure for investigations and treatment related to COVID-19-Infection

***

With reference to the above subject the undersigned is directed tostate that this Ministry is taking several measures to contain the resurgence of COVID-19 cases. In this regard this Ministry is in respect of the difficulties faced by CGHS beneficiaries in availing treatment / investigation facilities for COVID-19 patients under Homecare treatment. There is also need to minimize the exposure of normal CGHS beneficiaries / CGHS Staff to COVID-19 +ve / suspected COVID-19 cases . The matter has been reviewed in the Ministry and the undersigned is directed to state that it is now decided to take the following measures to simplify the procedures for investigations and treatment related to COVID-19:

i) The CGHS beneficiaries, both Primary Card Holders or their dependent family members, who are suffering from symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 illness shall not visit the CGHS Wellness Center for permission of RT-PCR/ RAT. They are advised to send the request by e-mail to CMO i/c of CGHS Wellness Centre, who shall recommend and refer the beneficiary to any empanelled HCO for the test by e-mail to beneficiary on the same day of receipt of request. All the diagnostic labs and other HCOs shall provide the facility of testing for RT-PCR/ RAT on credit basis to the pensioner beneficiaries and the other eligible category serving employees of the CGHS/ DGHS/ MoHFW. The other serving employees shall pay for the test as per the rates notified by the State Government and claim reimbursement from their respective offices subsequently.

The beneficiaries also have the option to undergo RT-PCR/ RAT test done directly at any of the Central Govt./state Government COVID Test Centres, where no prescription is required

ii) CGHS beneficiaries who are tested positive and have been permitted for Home Quarantine by local authorities / DISO have the option to avail Tele-medicine services with Government specialists under CGHS through the e-Sanjivani portal. They can also avail tele-consultation services with Govt. Specialists on e-Sanjeevani portal, run by different State Governments.

In case, any beneficiary further investigations for inflammatory markers like CRP, D-Dimer, IL-6, or any other routine or specialized investigation like HRCT etc, no permission is necessary for investigations having a CGHS rate. If there is no CGHS rate for any investigations, the beneficiary shall apply for approval from concerned Additional Director, enclosing a copy of advice on Tele-consultation and CGHS Card. Permission shall be granted by CGHS, preferably on the same day by e-mail to the beneficiary (in respect of all CGHS beneficiaries).

iv) Essential medicines advised for Home isolation treatment can be purchased from Market during the period of isolation and the bills may be preferred to the respective Ministry / Departments / concerned Autonomous body in case of serving employee and CGHS beneficiaries of Autonomous Bodies and to CGHS in case of Pensioners, ex-MPs, etc., as the case may be for reimbursement. Medicines like Remdesivir, Tocilizumab are reserved only for patients who are hospitalized and therefore, no reimbursement shall be permitted for such medicines which are not to be administered to patients in Home isolation. Food supplements and such other inadmissible items shall however, not be considered for reimbursement.

To,
The Secretary (Health)
Government of India,
Nirman Bhawan, New Delhi – 110001

Dear Sir,

Sub :– Guidelines for administering covid vaccines – CGHS beneficiaries.

Kindly refer to the O.M. No. Misc/12/CGHS/Gr.Cell/2021-dir-cghs date 26.3.2021 issued by the Ministry Health wherein the guidelines for vaccination against Covid 19 in respect of CGHS beneficiaries have been enumerated. As per the said guidelines, payment of Rs. 250/- made by the beneficiaries to the private non empanelled hospitals would not be reimbursed. Ostensibly, the said decision appears to be in view of the fact that vaccination had been made free of cost by most of State run hospitals and local body controlled primary health centres The situation has undergone a change in as much as the State Governments are now to purchase the vaccine doses from the manufacturers by paying a price fixed by the Government of India which is Rs. 400 per doze. This might necessitate the State Government run hospitals and primary health centres to charge the beneficiaries. This apart, the private hospitals might receive the vaccine doves only at a much higher price and they might charge the beneficiaries much more. The deficiency in the supply position, the delay in the manufacturing process, the abnormal increase in the number of covid cases etc. have all made the situation worse and the people affected by the pandemic are in a frantic urge of getting vaccinated. This apart, the lock down that have been clamped in many parts of the country to combat the increasing spread of the pandemic has made it impossible for people to travel to take vaccine from the primary health centres or the State Government run hospitals. They are perforce to seek vaccination from the private hospitals where the dozes are available. In this connection, we may refer to our earlier communication requesting you to kindly ensure that the CGHS dispensaries/wellness centres are got declared as vaccination centres. Since the Government of India is able to access the vaccines comparatively at cheaper rate from the manufacturers, the CGHS beneficiaries might accrue the benefit thereof if our earlier request for getting the dispensaries and wellness centres get declared as vaccination centres

In the circumstances in which the Central Government employees and pensioners are placed presently, we request you to kindly issue necessary direction to reimburse the cost of vaccination to all CGEs and Central Govt. pensioners who are compelled to get vaccinated from the private hospitals.

Thanking you,

Yours fraternally,

This relaxation will be applicable to the following categories:

Rule 24(2) – where two allottees, who are in occupation of separate accommodation allotted under these rules marry each other, and are directed to surrender one of the accommodation within one month of their marriage;

Rule 40 – which provides for concessional period of retention of GPRA under different cases; and

Rule 44 (7 & 8) – which provides for change of accommodation

3. The suo-moto retention period will be on the payment of licence fees as applicable to the allottee under these rules. No damage will be charged for this period.

4. These relaxations will also be given to such allottees where she/he has become unauthorized occupant of government accommodation before 01.04.2021.

To

Shri Rajkiran Rai. G
Chairman
Indian Banks’ Association,
Mumbai

Dear Sir,

Reg : Clarification on benefits of rescheduling of stagnation increments under 11th Bipartite Settlement.

Ref: Our letter dated 27-4-2021

1. We draw your kind attention to our above letter on the subject. Even though the provisions in the Settlement are explanatory and clear in language, many have referred the issue to IBA seeking clarification with the result that pending reply and clarification from IBA, Banks have not implemented these provisions of the Settlement and not extended the benefit of preponement/rescheduling of stagnation increment to the eligible employees/retired employees.

2. Similarly, when the 8,” Stagnation Increment was extended under 10th BPS in 2015, the benefit of the same was to be extended notionally for those who had retired between Nov. 2012 and April, 2015 and monetary benefit from May, 2015 for their pensionary benefits. IBA has already sent its clarification to all the Banks vide its Circular dated 29-1-2021. This benefit has also not been implemented by the Banks.

Such an attitude of the Banks and non-implementation of the provisions of Settlements will cast its shadow in cordial industrial relations and also affect the reputation of IBA besides the sanctity of the Settlement.

This is equally affecting the credibility of the Unions also.

Hence, we seek your personal attention in the matter.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Sub:- Commencement of Pension Payment to Railway Pensioners.
Ref:- Ministry of Railways Letter of even no. dated 20.4.2020.

Ministry of Railways, vide letter ibid. has advised all Public Sector Banks disbursing Railway Pension to make suitable arrangements for commencement of pension payment to Railway pensioners (who retired from service on or after 31.03.2020) based on e-PPOs (without waiting for physical copies), in view of the lock down imposed to contain the spread of COWVID-19 (copy enclosed). In this regard, one of the Zonal Rathways has brought to the notice of this Ministry that some of the PSBs are insisting upon physical copy of the PPO (along with attachments in physical form). This is rendering undue delay in commencement of pension payment.

Since lock-down has been imposed in many of the States to contain the Second-wave of Covide-19, physical movement of the PPOs and its attachments is not feasible. It is, therefore, requested that pension payment may be commenced based on e-PPOs being sent to the CPPCs, as was being done earlier, so that pensioners do not suffer on this account. Physical copies of these, PPOs shall be sent to the designated Bank Branches as soon as normalcy is restored.

At present, the Zonal Railways/Production Units are sending Pension Payment Orders(PPQOs) to the CPPC of your Bank electronically. A physical copy of the PPO is also sent to designated bank branches at Head Quarters of each Zonal Railway for onward submission to the CPPC for verification and record.

The PPOs in respect of employees retired in March,2020 have already been sent to your CPPC electronically. However, in view of ongoing lock down imposed across the country to contain spread of COVID-19 virus, there would be delay in submission of physical copy of PPOs to the designated branches for onward submission to CPPCs. It is requested that Pension of employees retired in the Month of March/2020 may kindly be arranged based on e-PPOs already sent to CPPC of your-Bank as a special case so that the pensioners do not suffer on this account. The physical copy of the PPOs shall be submitted to concerned designated branch immediately on lifting of lockdown.

The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions

Dear Comrades,

Sub: Vaccination of the Railway Staff and their families aged between 18-44 years

Today I discussed the issue of vaccination to the Railway Staff and their families, aged between 18 to 44 years, with Hon’ble Minister for Railways and impressed upon him that the Railway Employees are Frontline Workers and they are feeling restless due to non-vaccination, particularly those in the age group of 18 – 44 years and also members of their families.

Hon’ble M.R. informed me that, he had already asked the Chairman to take immediate steps on the issue of vaccination of all the Railway Employees.

I also informed to Hon’ble M.R. that the Chairman-Cum-CEO, Railway Board, all the General Managers and even some of the DRM’s are actively trying their level best for arranging vaccination from the State Governments, but the State Governments are not cooperating. I requested to Hon’ble M.R., that this issue must be taken up at the political level with the Chief Ministers to provide sufficient vaccine to the Railway Staff and their families in their State Jurisdiction, or otherwise Railways should purchase the vaccines and they should be administered to the Railway Employees and their families by the Railways itself, and there should be no delay on this issue.

Hon’ble M.R. had agreed to pursue this matter and resolve the issue at an earliest.

Comradely yours,

Compassionate appointments for dependent children of Central Govt employees who died in harness after Covid 19 – Confederation

Ref: CONFD/Compassionate appointment

Dated – 12.05.2021

To

The Secretary, Personnel,
Government of India,
Department of Personnel and Training
North Block, New Delhi, 110 001.

Dear Sir,

Sub :- Compassionate appointments for dependent children of Central Government employees who died in harness after the outbreak of corona covid 19.

We solicit your kind reference to the scheme of appointments on compassionate ground, presently prevailing in the Central Government departments other than Railways. As you are aware, the Government had arbitrarily restricted such appointments to 5% of the vacancies. The aspects of discrimination and absolute un-tenability of the said decision had been the subject matter of discussions at the Standing Committee and National Council meetings of the JCM on innumerable occasions. The said restriction, however, continued for years together imparting injustice and agony to hundreds of deserving candidates.

After the outbreak of corona covid 19 in November, 2019, hundreds of Central Government employees died, most of them being afflicted by the deadly disease. In the recent months, due to the second phase of the pandemic, the condition has deteriorated as many are dying due to shortage of medicine, hospital beds, ICUs, Ventilators, oxygen and vaccine doses. The number of deaths occurring have become manifold and the dependent family members of the employees are in inexpressible agony.

We, therefore, request you to kindly issue necessary instructions to all the heads of circles to provide compassionate appointments to the dependent children of those employees, who died in harness since November, 2019, without resort to the restriction of 5% of the vacancies imposed by the earlier directive in the matter.

We shall be highly grateful for an immediate and favourable response from your end.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
