CLAIMING FIXED MEDICAL ALLOWANCE FROM BACK DATE.



  

        CLAIM FOR FIXED MEDICAL ALLOWANCE  FROM BACK DATE.

The concept of Fixed Medical Allowance is from 01-12-1997.
Those who retired./was  Discharged  after this date, the FMA was mentioned in the PPO itself.  The Rate was Rs.100  and time to time  it was enhanced and from 01-07-2017 , it is Rs.1000/-

We understand  that , even though the scheme started in 1997, still some of our veterans  are not aware , whether they are being paid with FMA or not ( Non ECHS members)
Now, after coming to know that they are not being paid  with FMA,  they want to claim FMA from back date.
On receiving lot of complaints  and claims, our Government  has issued a circular  in this regard vide their  OM No:

“GOI. MF. Dept.of Expenditure : OM No; CPAO/ IT &  Tech/ Revision ( 7th CPC / 19-Vol-III € 2019-20/ 66 dated 05-08-2019.

It is clear from the Order  that , the FMA is payable from the date of application only, if eligible  and not from  the back date.

Veterans  are to note the Govt.Order  and  cannot  claim from back date.

All our ESM Associations and Orgs  are requested to advise the veterans in their areas suitably..
