(Ref 6)

  • The concerned pensioners/family pensioners are eligible for Medical facilities after retirement under any of the existing health care schemes in the Railways. Actual enrolment under such a scheme is not a pre requisite. (Ref 1 , 2, 3)
  • Pensioner/family pensioners will have to give an undertaking to the effect that from the day they claim Medical Allowance they will not avail of OPD facility at Railway hospitals/health units. (Ref 3)
  • Option to either claim medical allowance or to avail OPD facility at Railway hospitals/Health units can be changed only once in case of change of residential address of Railway pensioners/family pensioners. (Ref 4 & 5)
  • Railway pensioners/family pensioners have to furnish an undertaking that they reside beyond 2.5 KMs from a Railway hospital/health unit. An entry to this effect should be made in both halves of their PPOs.  (Ref 2)

  • Fixed Medical Allowance is allowed to Railway pensioners / family pensioners irrespective of the fact whether they are members or not of RELHS, or, any other health scheme.   (Ref 8)
  • Pensioners/family pensioners who possess RELHS card & avail OPD facility are NOT entitled for Fixed Medical Allowance, whereas those who possess RELHS card but do not avail OPD facility  [except in cases of chronic diseases, as defined in Board’s letter No. 2006/H/DC/JCM dated 12.10.2006] are entitled for Fixed Medical Allowance.
