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.
The Banks are not to insist
for Refund of already paid amount in one Lump Sum. The recovery may be done on
monthly installment and not more that
1/3 of the basic pension.
ECHS authorities are
instructed not to deny treatment on this cause.
All our ESM
associations are requested to pass on this information to our ESM ECHS members in their areas.
