The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) on June 04, 2020, adopts the circular regarding extension of validity of Central Government Health Scheme Cards (CGHS) in view of the Covid-19 infection that is issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
According to the Circular:
- In case of pensioner beneficiaries whose CGHS cards are valid up to March 31, 2020, the validity date may be extended up to July 31, 2020 in the database on the basis of request received form beneficiaries
- If a request is received by email from serving employees who superannuated on March 31, 2020, are thereafter not in receipt of Pension Payment Order (PPO), the CGHS card may be converted as pensioner CGHS card.
- If a Government Servant superannuating on March 31, 2020 and was not a member of CGHS during service then he will have to submit a proof of the superannuation.
These relaxations are only to help beneficiaries in Covid -19 and will not be a precedent.
