New Health Insurance Scheme for Government Employees under Consideration

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare

There is a proposal for introduction of a health insurance scheme for the central government employees and pensioners on pan-India basis, with special focus on pensioners living in non-CGHS areas. The proposal is to make this scheme voluntary cum contributory for serving employees & pensioners. However, it is proposed to be made compulsory for the new entrants in Government service.

The salient features of the proposed Health Insurance Scheme are as under;

· Optional for serving Central Government employees and pensioners including future pensioners,

· Compulsory for new recruits,

· Covers all the members of family as per CGHS norms,

· Sum insured – Rs. 5 lakh per year on a family floater basis,

· Corporate buffer of Rs 25 Crore to take care of cases exceeding Rs. 5 lakh,

· All pre existing diseases covered from the day one,

· Pre and post hospitalisation benefits available,

· Domiciliary Hospitalisation benefit,

· Maternity benefit upto two living children,

· OPD not covered however OPD consultations will be free,

· Payment of FMA for meeting OPD needs,

· Cashless treatment facility,

· Govt. to subsidise significantly the payment of premium,

· Employees / pensioners to contribute 20 to 30 percent of the premium,

· Identification of beneficiaries through a Smart Card.

The proposed scheme will be an alternative to the CGHS and it will provide an option to the serving employees and pensioners to choose a scheme as per his/her convenience.

The Scheme will have special focus on the pensioners living in non-CGHS areas who are getting Fixed Medical Allowance at the rate of Rs.300/- only per month to take care of their medical needs and have been demanding extension of CGHS or CS (MA) Rules to cover their OPD and Inpatient medical needs which is not feasible due to resource constraints. The Health Insurance Scheme seems to be a viable alternative. It will have additional implications, due to coverage of pensioners living in non-CGHS areas and not covered under any Government Scheme.

The proposal for inclusion of the Health Insurance Scheme for the Central Government employees and pensioners in the 12th Plan has been moved by the Ministry for consideration of the Steering Committee on Health in the Planning Commission. On receipt of approval of Planning Commission, the proposal would be placed before the Expenditure Finance Committee and finally before the Cabinet for approval of the scheme. No strict time frame can be given in this regard.


This information was given by the Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in reply to a Starred question in Lok Sabha today.

‘No work talk on networking sites’

Mumbai, May 7,2012(TNN):   The government has asked all Customs and Central Excise Officers not to post online comments on official matters. Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the governing body of these officers, has said any violation will attract action under conduct rules.
“It has been brought to the notice of the board that some officers are posting online comments relating to official matters on social networking sites, such as Facebook, causing confusion and avoidable controversy among officers in different parts of the country,” an April 12 letter signed by joint secretary, administration, Lok Ranjan said.
Officers, however, said this is a gag order. “We do not have access to the files handled by the administration wing. Hence, our discussion is not on specific cases. We are discussing an issue that concerns our promotions. This is an absurd direction,” a senior official said.
The CBEC became worried when officers posted their views on a Supreme Court judgment, including adverse comments on the seniority list relied on by the department for deciding promotions at the commissioner level. “It has been reported that the said post created confusion regarding the SC’s judgment among officers in different parts of the country and also needless controversy over seniority issues….” Ranjan’s letter said.
The SC passed a judgment in August 2011, on the long pending issue of preparing a seniority list of officials while being promoted from superintendents /appraisers to assistant commissioners. The SC had directed the government to follow new guidelines for all those officers who are already Assistant Commissioners. This was suggested to ensure that there was no disparity.
The SC had asked the board to implement the directive by December 31, 2011. But in January this year, the department considered the old seniority list and recommended 62 persons for promotion as Commissioner. This included a few persons who would not have been promoted if the board had obeyed the SC directions. In February 2012, the board moved the SC, saying its directions could be implemented prospectively. The SC rejected the applications and granted three months to implement the August 2011 order. This was discussed extensively on the networking site.
The board also felt that a discussion on Central Excise Duty evasion by a gutkha manufacturer was unwarranted. An officer posted the details, including extracts of the show-cause notice and sought comments from fellow officers.
“Discussing details of investigations on social networking sites and online comments on merits when adjudication or appellate proceedings may be underway is completely unwarranted,” the letter said. Officers said in this case, the board’s decision is justified.
