Madam/Sir,

The Employees & Pensioners of the EPFO, who are not covered under Central Government Health Scheme, (CGHS) are paid Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA) per month to cater to the cost of medicines/treatment, etc, where hospitalization is not involved. At present, FMA is being given to employees/ pensioners @ Rs. 2000 p.m.

Issue regarding admissibility of FMA to both the spouses who are both staff pensioners of EPFO, has been considered by the competent authority and it has been decided that FMA is admissible to only one of the spouses if both are staff pensioners of EPFO.

[This issues with the approval of Competent Authority]

Yours faithfully,
