ECHS MEMBERS DRAWING FIXED MEDICAL ALLOWANCE

 

 There are many veterans , ECHS members are still being paid Fixed Medical Allowance.

Many are not aware  whether the FMA is stopped by Bank or not.

 This drawing  of FMA by ECHS members  being noticed by Authorities and some action being initiated, like denying  handing over of 64kb cards, Treatment etc..

When  coming to know that  FMA is being paid, the members are reporting  to the Bank, but Bank is not stopping. Some banks are instructing  to Refund the  already paid amount in Lump sum, then only they will stop . This is the condition.

On receiving many representation from various, ESM associations,  the PCDA has now issued a circular in this regard.  CDA cir: 225 dated 31.01.2022.

Now, such ECHS members are to obtain a FRESH   FMA stoppage certificate from Banks and submit to ECHS authorities.
