Revision of delegation of financial powers for settlement of medical reimbursement claims and grant of permissions/ex-post facto approvals in respect of pensioner CGHS beneficiaries and other eligible beneficiaries, including serving CGHS employees.
Very positive order. This will help circumvent delays and provide immediate and urgently needed succour to the beneficiaries in medical emergencies.
This Association also has had been consistently pleading for this enhanced delegation of powers for last two to three years. In fact, this issue was discussed quite at length in our meeting with AS/ DG CGHS about a year before and she had categorically assured that this enhanced delegation of Powers would be processed expeditiously.
It took quite some time because it has had to be approved by Integral Finance Department (IFD) of MOH&FW which, as usual, was raising lot queries. That is what they do and that is exactly what keeps Finance Wing alive in every Organization.
Anyway, we greatly appreciate the strenuous efforts of Director/ CGHS, Dr Sateesh. Y. H. who has been sincerely and dedicatedly trying to get it approved. We express our deepest gratitude to him.

Dear Comrades,
While the overall Financial Capacity and Capability of the Government is far better than in it was in the year 2016, Government is spending just 13% of the revenue expenditure on Wages and Pension.
This critical issue, besides other issues, will be thoroughly discussed and debated at the forthcoming AIC of NCCPA at Chennai on 17th July, 26, which will be presided over by Com Shiv Gopal Mishra, Leader staff side National JCM and President NCCPA, Com Namboodiri and other Veteran Trade Union Leaders.
GS/SNPWA is also to address both the delegate and their open session.
Following detailed, comprehensive and wide ranging analysis of the Government spending on Pension and Wages vis-a-vis its revenues and fiscal expenditure undertaken by Veteran Senior Trade Union Leaders of NCCPA, Con P. S. Prasad, Com K.B Krishna Rao and Com S. Radhakrishnana is quite revealing and significant.
The Government, as expected, is trying to contain Fiscal Deficit and impose so called Fiscal Discipline through measures aimed at curtailing progressively and uninterruptedly expenditure on Wages and Pension.

An article on PARIPOORNA MEDICLAIM AYUSH BIMA SCHEME - BY DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES, MoF - By G.L.Jogi, General Secretary, SNPWA:
The Writing on the Wall Is Loud and Clear. A Sinister Medical Insurance Mechanism Introduced by the Ministry of Finance: A Carefully Graduated and Lethal Blueprint to Dismantle CGHS and Coerce Beneficiaries into this Meticulously Manoeuvred and Measured Death Trap for CGHS Beneficiaries. Let every CGHS beneficiary understand, in clear and crisp words, that the government's (DFS) claim that this scheme is merely an "adjutant" to the existing CGHS mechanism is, in our view, completely delusional, misleading, and a manufactured statement. Change-over to this sinister mechanism will become inevitable and coercive, undoubtedly and unquestionably, in due course of time — unless beneficiaries resist it now.
On the "Paripoorna Mediclaim Ayush Bima" Scheme - it is not only extremely grave, but a real grave for CGHS beneficiaries.
A Wake-Up Call to Every CGHS Pensioner and Serving Employee.
