Mumbai – 400001.

Dear Sir,

During my recent visit to HO, Mumbai in last week  I have come to know that the  Board of Directors have  given approval for revision of Scheme of Ex-gratia relief for uncovered Medical expenses for high cost/protracted disease.

I, on behalf of NFGIE , sincerely express my thanks for your endeavour in getting revision of the existing Scheme.  You will appreciate that for more than one year NFGIE is constantly pursuing and highlighting the need for amendment of the said existing scheme in view of the exorbitant rise in the cost of treatment of such highly dreaded diseases and requested your good office to take necessary step for revision of the same.

It is really praiseworthy that as CMD of New India you have again come forward to provide relief to a great extent to the employees as well as family members  who are the victim of such diseases. We also express our thanks to Mr. A B Dange, Chief Manager, EWS and Mr. Madhu Illayat , Deputy Manager for providing necessary assistances  in this regard. We have great pleasure in taking up the issue in right earnest with you for a pretty long time.

Trust, you will issue necessary circulars shortly to effect necessary changes in the existing scheme so as to include cases of Mr. T K Sinha, AO, BBSR RO and other similar cases.

With due regards

Yours faithfully,

SUJIT BAGCHI

GENERAL SECRETARY

NFGIE
