CGHS FOR BSNL PENSIONERS

THE RATE OF PREMIUM IS STILL  NOT FINALISED.

Order extending the benefit of CGHS to BSNL Pensioners was issued long back.

But,  a doubt on the rate of premium to be paid by the BSNL pensioners  was raised.

Department of Health  prescribed the rate of premium based on Grade Pay  introduced by

the sixth Pay Commission. IN BSNL (IDA Scales) there is no Grade Pay. 

Correspondance was going on between the two departments on this matter. 

The matter came up for discussion in the SCOVA meeting held on 3-2-2015.

Department of Telecom has been asked to suggest alternate proposal.

                                                        (Refer the minutes of SCOVA meeting given below the item on 78.2% Case).

[Our Association has already given specific proposal in this regard  to Department of Telecom.]
