Government of Jammu and Kashmir
Civil Secretariat, Finance Department
(Insurance Division)

CIRCULAR No: 04-FD of 2018
Dated : 24 -05-2018

Subject: Clarification regarding Chief Minister’s Group Mediclaim Insurance Policy.

A few Government personnel have requested Finance Department for making the proposed Chief Minister’s Group Mediclaim Insurance Policy optional in such cases where either husband or wife is a Central Government employee while as the other is a State Government employee and the former has taken out the Insurance policy administered by his /her employer.

2. After careful consideration and in the interest of equity, it has been decided that in case where either husband or wife is a Central Government employee and has opted for the Mediclaim Insurance Policy launched by his/her employer, the Chief Minister’s Group Mediclaim Insurance Policy shall be optional in the case of his/her spouse, who is a State Government employee. However, the State Government employee would have to necessarily provide a certificate from the DDO concerned of his/her spouse to the effect that the latter is covered under the Insurance policy of his/her employer.

The desirous members of the AIS may fill up the prescribed format available on the Finance Department’s website namely, www.jakfinance.nic.in and forward the same to the Nodal Officer Finance Department within a week positively.

CIRCULAR

PFRDA/2018/03/PF/03

Date: 22nd May, 2018

SUBJECT: Amendment to Investment Guidelines for NPS Schemes {Other than Govt. Sector (CG & SG), Corporate CG, NPS Lite and APY) -reg.

1. In partial modification of Circular No.PFRDA/2017/18/PF/2 dated 04.05.2017 pertaining to investment guidelines issued by the Authority for NPS Schemes {Other than Govt. Sector (CG & SG), Corporate CG, NPS Lite and APY}, it has been decided to amend Clause 10 of the said Circular as under:

“10. In the interest of subscribers in the non-government sector, the Central Recordkeeping Agency(s) (CRAs) would monitor ‘the ceiling of exposure in Asset Class E (Equity) upto 75%, C (Corporate Debt) upto 100%, G (Government Securities) upto 100% and Asset Class A (for Tier I only) upto 5% respectively’, to ensure that such limits are adhered to.”

2. The cap on equity investment has been increased to maximum limit of 75% from current permissible limit of 50% in active choice for private sector subscribers under NPS, with tapering off of the equity allocation after attaining the age of 50 years by subscriber. Thus allocation in the Active Choice has been revised as under:

Age (years) Cap on E Cap on C Cap on G Cap on A
Upto 50 75% 100% 100% 5%
51 72.50% 100% 100% 5%
52 70% 100% 100% 5%
53 67.50% 100% 100% 5%
54 65% 100% 100% 5%
55 62.5 100% ‘100% 5%
56 60 100% 100% 5%
57 57.5 100% 100% 5%
58 55 100% 100% 5%
59 52.5 100% 100% 5%
60 and above 50 100% 100% 5%

3. In case the investment by the subscriber in equity exceeds the cap in particular age bucket due to tapering of the caps, the excess portion shall be moved to 0-Sec by default. However, the subscriber would continue to have the choice to re-allocate the non-equity portion between asset classes C, G & A unlike under the auto choice where tapered off portion moves in a pre-fixed percentage of C & G. The subscriber will also continue to enjoy the choice of allocation between E, C, G and A subject to limits as given above.

4. If a person subscribes to NPS beyond the age of 50 years and chooses active choice, he shall get the maximum equity allocation in accordance with the table. For e.g. if the person enters at the age of 56 years, he can get maximum 60% of equity asset allocation in accordance with the table.

5. Further, if the person at an age lower than 50 years selects equity allocation less than 75%, the tapering of equity allocation shall be in accordance with the age/percentage of equity cap mentioned in the table. For. e.g. if a person at the age of 45 years (say) chooses 65% as equity allocation under active choice, the tapering off of the equity allocation shall initiate from the age of 55 years.

6. The above arrangement is applicable w.e.f. 15th June, 2018. All other terms and conditions of the relevant investment guidelines shall stand unaltered and all concerned intermediaries shall ensure compliance, in terms thereof.

7. This circular is issued in exercise of powers of the Authority under sub-clause(b) of sub-section(2) of Section 14 read with Section 23 of the PFRDA Act, 2013 and sub-regulation (1) of Regulation 14 of the PFRDA(Pension Fund) Regulations, 2015.

Treatment of Railway medical beneficiaries at Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai

General Manager(s)
All Indian Railways,
(facluding PUs and RDSO)

Sub: Treatment of Railway medical beneficiaries at Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai – Reg.

M/s Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai has been accorded permanent recognition for cancer treatment of Railway medical beneficiaries. Such beneficiaries are referred to Tata Memorial Centre through Central/Western Railways. In many cases, it is noted that when cancer patients from zones other than Central and Western Railways are referred to Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai, they have to go back to parent zones for getting approval of expenses if the amount of advance to be sanctioned for treatment exceeds certain limit. Such situations put unnecessary hardship to Railway medical beneficiaries who have to run from Mumbai to their parent zones located at far-off places for getting necessary approvals. In view of this, the issue of providing a permanent relief in such situations has been under consideration of Railway Board for sometime.

After careful consideration in the matter, it has now been decided that the proposals for sanction of advance in favour of Tata Memorial Centre Mumbai in cases of Railway medical beneficiaries from all zones who have initially been referred to TMH/Mumbai by Central/Western Railway and have been recommended Bone Marrow Transplant (MBT) by TMH/Mumbai, will be processed and advance sanctioned with the approval of Competent Authorities of Central/Western Railways through whom the patient has been referred to the hospital. After sanction, Central/Western Railway will raise debit to the concerned zone which that zone would be bound to accept. The sanction of advance amount will be limited to the financial limit contained in PGI/Chandigarh letter dated 28.10.2016 (copy enclosed) or subsequent instruction on the subject of BMT issued by CGHS. Also, before sanction of medical advance, an undertaking may be obtained from railway medical beneficiary to the effect that charges incurred on treatment beyond the prescribed financial limit for BMT procedure will be borne by him/her and no reimbursement claim to the effect will be preferred.

This issues with the approval of Finance Directorate in the Ministry of Railways.
