Discussion with DDG (Establishment) / DOT on issue of extending Notional Increment to VRS.
GS SNPWA had a very detailed discussion with DDG( E)/ DOT, apprising him, besides other aspects of the issue, of a specific case of a VRS who has already been extended this benefit by DOT after seeking concurrence of D.O.E and DOP & T. Also apprised him of the fact that all the facts were placed before Hon Supreme Court by U.O.I in a Contempt Petition filed by the concerned VRS Comrade, but Hon. Supreme Court adjudicated that no exception can be made to the Law laid down by it for extending the said benefit of Notional Increment, provided the stipulated criterion is met.
DDG / Establishment, who is extremely receptive, pragmatic, and very positive in his approach, immediately wanted a copy of the said judgment, which GS shall share with him very shortly.
However, DDG informed that Final Opinion from the Legal Cell of DOT for filing of SLP against the Judgment of Hon Supreme Court is awaited and may shortly be received.

Message Circulated to CMOs / Doctors of WCs by their respective ADs.
Dear Doctors,
Good morning!
You all are aware that CGHS has partnered with a large base of private HCOs providing OPD, Diagnostic Specialty & Super-specialty services in many streams of medicine to our beneficiaries pan India. To ensure that the spirit of partnership flourishes, meets all our aspirations and goals and makes our beneficiaries satisfied and happy, we need to work hand in hand.
In this regard it is vital to note that timely and regular payments to the HCOs is important for their functioning and that this ultimately delivers in the form of timely, effective and high quality services to our esteemed beneficiaries.
Our Sanctioning authorities have been working very hard to deliver on this front and this is well appreciated by the higher authorities. However, it has been observed by the higher authority that the bill processing and clearance process is lagging at certain places, notably at the level of some SAs & DDOs. This results in ineffective, insufficient and delayed payment of bills to Health Care Organizations, which in-turn leads to reduction in the delivery of the expected level of health care services and brings a bad name to our organization.
I am constrained to point out that certain officials who have been designated this very vital and responsible work of processing of bills are falling short in their targets, visa-a-vi their share of contribution towards timely processing and payments of HCO bills. The matter has been viewed seriously by the Higher Authorities, and I have to communicate to you in no uncertain terms that this shall attract adverse action on those delinquent Officials.
Let us make all efforts to make CGHS the best Health Care Organization, an Organization that others can look up to.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

GS SNPWA writes to the Cabinet Secretary / Legal Affairs and Secretary /Justice seeking their imminent intervention to advise heads of all the ministries / departments to ensure that indiscriminate and unwarranted Petitions are not filed by them, merely based on Legal Advice.
Reminding them of the caution and restraint that G.O.I has been asked to exercise by Hon Supreme Court while filing Petitions and ensure unwarranted Petitions on issues which have attained Judicial Finality are not indiscreetly and Indiscriminately filed by the Administrative Ministries / Departments. Hon Supreme Court has emphatically mentioned that G.O.I contiues to be the largest litigant, thus contributing enormously and directly towards increasing Pendency of Cases, besides allowing wasteful expenditure of exchequers resources in terms of Legal fees to the Govt. pleaders even where filinh of Petitions is not at all warranted.
Also apprising Cabinet Secy and others about consistent exhortations made by the nodal ministry DOP& PW advising Heads of Administrative Ministries to scrutinize cases, independent of legal advice, for filing of Petitions, particularly in matters relating to Pensioners. Continuous meetings that are conducted by DOP& PW where representatives from all Ministries participate for the purpose of emphasising Administrative Ministries to be very careful and not file Petitions mechanically go simply waste since senior officers from Administrative Ministries do not take decisions at all independent of the Legal Advice which always suggests filing of Petitions Indiscriminately.
