With reference to the above mentioned subject the undersigned is directed to state that this Ministry has been receiving various complaints regarding difficulties being faced by CGHS beneficiaries in getting the OPD/IPD treatment at Pvt. HCOs after valid referral from the CMO/MO/Govt. Specialist. It has been viewed very seriously by the Competent Authority.
It is observed that the CGHS beneficiaries are facing a lot of resistance from the staff/OPD manager/Doctors of the private NCOs empanelled under CGHS.

OPD Slot for CGHS beneficiaries is also reduced to half an hour, The CGHS beneficiaries are not allowed to seek the consultation from the Senior Doctor or their OPD, so called premium OPD.
It is reiterated that HCOs empanelled under CGHS shall adhere to the term and conditions while providing treatment/investigation facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries. The private HCOs empanelled under CGHS shall provide quality service to CGHS beneficiaries and care may be taken to avoid inconvenience, especially for the Senior Citizen, Cancer Patients and terminally ill patients. Pvt. HCOs shall avoid any discrimination to CGHS beneficiaries.
As per MOA clause No. 18 (9) discrimination against CGHS beneficiaries’ vis-å-vis general patients — “The amount of Performance Bank Guarantee will be forfeited and the CGHS shall have the right to de-recognize the Health Care Organization as the case may be. Such action could be initiated on the basis of a complaint, medical audit or inspections carried out by the CGHS teams at random. The decision of the CGHS will be final.
All the empanelled HCOs under CGHS Delhi/NCR are hereby warned/directed to follow the specified guidelines laid down in MOA and OMs issued by the Ministry Of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India from time to time, failing which the Show Cause Notice will be served and action as deemed fit shall be taken.

IBA proposes Fixed Pay & Variable Pay Scheme/Performance Linked Emoluments based on Operating Profits and Return on Assets
One more round of Bipartite Discussions were held on 29-9-2018 between UFBU and IBA at Mumbai. In continuation of the last round of discussions, IBA wanted to know our reaction to their offer of 6% hike made in the last round of talks. Responding to their question from our side, we pointed out that their offer is too inadequate and we asked IBA to improve their earlier offer.
However IBA proposed that in addition to 6% hike offered by them which would be common to all Banks, additional wage increase can be worked out through a scheme by which in each Bank annual increase in
emoluments can be offered based on Operating Profits and Return on Assets of the individual Bank with a view to add an element of performance linked compensation over and above the uniform pay structure.
IBA detailed their proposal as under:

009IBA sought the reaction of UFBU to their proposal. From UFBU, we have pointed out that their above proposal based on performance/profits of the Banks is not an answer to our demand for increase in wages due to inflation, price rise, cost of living, increased workload and job profile of bank employees and officers. We reiterated that the IBA’s offer of 6% hike should be substantially improved upon.
IBA while stating they are not averse to increasing their 6% offer, wanted UFBU to consider their proposal looking to the present varying Operating Profits of the Banks and consequent paying capacity. IBA proposed that UFBU may study their proposal and come out with suggestions or alternative proposals for their consideration. IBA also informed UFBU to revise the demands in terms of total cost in order to arrive at a negotiated solution. It was decided that the issue would be further discussed in the next round of discussions.
Merger of DA with Basic Pay: We proposed that Dearness Allowance upto 6352 points of Consumer Price Index (Quarterly Average of July, August, September, 2017 i.e. DA paid from November, 2016) be merged with Basic Pay for constructing the revised Pay Scales. IBA informed that they would give their reaction in the next round of discussions.
UFBU Meeting:Â In the UFBU meeting held thereafter, it has been decided to hold UFBU meeting on 14th October, 2018 to discuss the proposal of IBA and give our reactions thereupon.
Renewal of Medical Insurance Policy:Â The Medical Insurance Policy for serving employees and officers of the Banks is being renewed w.e.f. 1-10-2018 based on the revised quotation received UIIC.
