Dear Sir,
I
like to draw your kind attention to the Circular Ref. CORP:HRM:EWS:2013 dated
15th March, 2013 issued by Mr. A B Dange, Chief Manager, EWS, point
no.1(3) of which states as follows:
“If
the spouse of an Officer is working in the industry in Class III/IV cadre, and
if Officer or Development Officer is covered under Medical Benefit Schemes
applicable to Officers/Development Staff, such spouse is not eligible to
receive lump sum payment towards domiciliary benefits”.
Whereas
in United India both husband and wife working in the same organization (one of
them in class-I cadre and other is in class-III) are entitled to get lumpsum
payment for Domiciliary treatment. In
this connection, we are quoting the last Para of Page No. 39 of the Personnel
Manual Part-II of United India Insurance Co. Ltd. which states
“Lumpsum payment can be made separately where
both the spouse are employed either with the same Company or other GIPSA member
companies either both as Officers or one as Officer and the other as Class-III
employee”.
We
have also got the confirmation that Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. is also
releasing lumpsum Domiciliary payment to both Husband and Wife both though one
of them belong to class-I and other is in class-III.
Moreover,
we find no rationale in the New India’s stand in the point 1(3) of the said
circular , we like to point out that in
New India also, husband and wife working in the class-I category are both
eligible to get the lumpsum payment for Domiciliary Treatment. Similarly both husband and wife working in
class-III category are allowed to receive the same.
In
view of the facts stated above we think that New India should also allow
lumpsum payment for Domiciliary Treatment to both husband and wife in whatever
the category they belong to and issue an order in this regard at the earliest.
Thanking you,
