  4. Dear sir,
    My parents both are pensioner.the health fund is dedut from my father account only.my doubt is both are get the total insurance value 400000 (200000 plus 200000)? Please reply me

  5. I submitted a reimbursement claim for a medical treatment costing Rs.8312/-It was rejected by the Director of Pension on the ground that I had already availed of the maximum benefit of Rs.100000,, taking into account the claims made from the year 2009.This means that a pensioner can only make a claim up to Rs. 100000 only in his life time. Is this correct ?

  6. We the Pensioners have submitted the forms dully filled in forms as per the Government Order.Kindly inform us the name of the Insurance company so that we can contact it for further actions. Please inform us who will deduct the health fund deduction from our pension. Pension payment officer or Insurance Company who will conduct this and will we be given any Identity Card. Thanks for our Honourable Chief Minister for helping the pensioners in all ways.

  7. Kindly provide me modalities for implementing the New Health Insurance scheme for the pensioners including spouse 2013.Who will control this scheme? Whether the identity card or letter will be issued for the pensioners? Whether any policy will be issued?
