Sub:- CGHS facilities to the NPS pensioners – regarding
In accordance with the GO No S 11011/10/2012-CGHS (P) /EHS dated 28.3.2017 of the Ministry of Health, it is stipulated that for availing the CGHS facilities for the NPS pensioners, a minimum qualifying service of 10 years is a must. If not, they are not entitled for the CGHS facilities.
In respect of Postal department, many GDS who became regular employees after 50 years could not avail the CGHS facilities and this condition is unwarranted and denying the NPS employees particularly in our department.
It is therefore requested to take up this issue with the Ministry of Health and also in JCM National Council meeting.

The undersigned is directed to say that as per the extant instructions contained in this Department’s OM No. 6/8/2009-Estt.(Pay-II) dated 11.6.2010, an officer who may be holding a higher post on ad hoc basis in the parent cadre at the time of proceeding on deputation/foreign service, would be considered to have vacated the post held on ad hoc basis and proceeded on deputation/foreign service from his regular post. It has further been stated therein that on repatriation to parent cadre, if the officer is re-appointed to the higher post on regular or ad hoc basis, his pay gets fixed with reference to the pay admissible in the lower post, on the date of such re-appointment.
2. The issue has been examined in the context of appointment of officers on deputation basis in the Personal Staff of the Union Ministers who hold an ad hoc post in their parent cadre before such appointment. After due deliberation, and while keeping in view the nature of work, the responsibilities attached to the Personal Staff of the Union Ministers, the public interest involved and also the requirement of specific instructions for appointments in the Personal Staff of the Union Ministers as provided in the above cited O.M. dated 17.06.2010, the following has been decided:-

On repatriation, the officer will revert back to the post which he would have held had he continued in the parent cadre without proceeding on such deputation. However, in case any situation arises of termination of his ad hoc appointment in the parent cadre during his deputation, his pay on deputation will be revised with reference to his pay on such reversion to regular post in the parent cadre, and in that case, after his repatriation from deputation, the officer will go back to the post held on regular basis in the lower grade, and his pay will be fixed accordingly.
