THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND
FAMILY WELFARE
(SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)
(a): Indented medicines are normally distributed on the next working day. However, there are some instances of delay in this regard.
(b): Following are the reasons for delay in distribution of indented medicines:-
Since one Authorized Local Chemist (ALC) supplies medicines for more than one CGHS Wellness Centre, there could be delay in arranging medicines of different kinds for some Wellness Centres.
Some of the medicines prescribed by Specialists are not readily available in market and ALC takes time to obtain the same from nearest available source.
Indented medicines are required to be received and entered in the inventory and distributed. There is shortage of manpower at CGHS Wellness Centres for this work.
(c): As per the terms and conditions of appointment of Local Chemists, the indented medicines are to be supplied on the next working day, failing which penalty is imposed.
The beneficiary is required to collect the indented medicines within 14 days, after which that shall be added in the inventory as unclaimed medicines. The medicines from the unclaimed inventory are issued to other beneficiary in need of such medicines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on LTC entitlements of Fresh Recruit
The 6th CPC had recommended that “Fresh Recruits” to the Central Government may be allowed to travel to their Home Town along with their families on three occasions in a block of four years and to any place in India on the fourth occasion. This was accepted by the Government and orders were issued vide DoPT O.M. No. 31011/4/2008-Estt.(A) dated 23rd September, 2008.
2. This Department receives a number of references seeking clarifications from various Ministry/ Departments about the year wise LTC entitlements of Fresh Recruits. Based on the same, a set of frequently asked questions have been answered as under:
Question 1. What are the LTC entitlements of a Fresh Recruit?
Answer: Fresh recruits to the Central Government are allowed to travel to their home town along with their families on three occasions in a block of four years and to any place in India on the fourth occasion. This facility shall be available to the fresh recruits only for the first two blocks of four years applicable after joining the Government for the first time.
Question 2. How are the two blocks of four years applied to the Fresh Recruit?
Answer: The first two blocks of four years shall apply with reference to the initial date of joining the Government service even though the Govt. servant may change the job within the Government subsequently. However, as per Rule 7 of CCS (LTC) Rules, 1988, the LTC entitlement of a fresh recruit will be calculated calendar year wise with effect from the date of completion of one year of regular service.
Question 3. Are the LTC blocks of four years in respect of Fresh Recruits same as the regular blocks like 2010-13, 2014-17?
Answer: No. The first two blocks of four years of fresh recruits will be personal to them. On completion of eight year of LTC, they will be treated at par with other regular LTC beneficiaries as per the prescribed blocks like 2014-17, 2018-21 etc.
Question 4. If a fresh recruit does not avail LTC facility in a particular year, can he/she avail it in the next year?
Answer: No. Carryover of LTC to the next year is not allowed in case of a fresh recruit as he is already entitled to every year LTC. Hence, if a fresh recruit does not avail of the LTC facility in any year, his LTC will deem to have lapsed with the end of that year.
Question 5. How will the LTC entitlements of a Fresh Recruit be exercised after the completion of eight years of service?
Answer: (a) After the completion of eight years of service, when the next LTC cycle of fresh recruit coincides with the beginning of the second two year block (eg. 2016-17) of the running four year block (2014-17), he will be eligible only for ‘Home Town’ LTC if he/she has availed ‘Any Place in India’ LTC in the eighth year. Cases, where the new LTC cycle of fresh recruit coincides with the second year of the running two year block (ex. 2017 of 2016-2017), he will not be eligible for LTC in that year. Refer illustrations 1 & 3 for further explanation.
(b) At the end of the eighth year of LTC, when the new LTC cycle of a fresh recruit coincides with the beginning of a regular four year block, his entitlement in the regular block will be exercised as per the usual LTC Rules. Refer illustration 2.
Question 6. How will the LTC entitlement computed in case of a fresh recruit joining the service on 31st December of any year?
Answer: A fresh recruit who joins the Government service on 31st December of any year, will be eligible for LTC w.e.f. 31st December of next year. Since, 31st December is the last date of a calendar year, his first occasion of LTC ends with that year. Hence, he may avail his first Home Town LTC on the last day of that year. From next year onwards he would be eligible for the remaining seven LTCs. Refer illustration 3.
Question 7. How will the entitlements of a fresh recruit be computed who has joined the Govt. service before 01.09.2008?
Answer: A fresh recruit who has joined Government service before 01.09.2008 (i.e before the introduction of this scheme) and has not completed his first eight years of service as on 01.09.2008 will be eligible for this concession for the remaining time-period till the completion of first eight years of his/ her service. Refer illustration 4.
Question 8. Can a fresh recruit whose Home Town and Headquarters are same, avail LTC to Home Town?
Answer: No. A fresh recruit whose Home Town and Headquarters are same, cannot avail LTC to Home Town. He may avail LTC to any place in India on the fourth and eighth occasion only. As per Rule 8 of CCS (LTC) Rules, 1988, LTC to Home Town shall be admissible irrespective of the distance between the Headquarters of the Govt. servant and his Home Town which implies that Headquarters and Home Town should be at different places.

Explanations:
i. A fresh recruit who joins on 31st December of any year, will be eligible for LTC w.e.f. 31st December of next year. Since, 31st December is the last date of that calendar year, his first occasion of LTC ends with that year. Hence, he may avail his first home town LTC on that day only (eg. 31st December, 2012). From next year onwards he will be eligible for the remaining seven LTCs.
ii. After the completion of eight years of service, when the next LTC cycle of fresh recruit coincides with the beginning of the second two year block (eg. 2020-21) of the running four year block (2018-21), he will be eligible only for the ‘Home Town’ LTC in that block if he has availed of ‘Any Place in India’ LTC in the eighth year. In case, the fresh recruit forgoes his eighth year LTC, then he has a choice to avail either ‘Any Place in India’ or ‘Home Town’ LTC in the following two year block (i.e. in 2020-21).

Yours sincerely,
D.Theagarajan
Item No 1. Permit employees who had been awarded “Good” or below grading in their previous five years APARs may be given an opportunity, as a one-time measure, to represent against the same.
DOP&T vide OM No. 35034/3/2015-Estt (D) dated 28.09.2016 had clarified that with effect from 25.07.2016, for grant of financial upgradation under MACPS, the prescribed benchmark would be “Very Good” for all posts. It is also clarified that there is no question of allowing the second opportunity of representation against APAR as these are already disclosed to the employees in APAR process.
Since the earlier “Good” benchmark for MACPS was applicable up to 25.07.2016, the employee having “Good” grading in their APARs for the previous years before 25.07.2016 may not have had a reason to represent gradings given, as they met the then prescribed criteria of benchmarking for MACPS. Now, since the benchmark for MACPS has been raised to “Very Good”, there is justification to allow the employees having “Good” or below grading for a period of five years APAR grading immediately preceding the cutoff date Ibid an opportunity to represent against the same.
Considering the above aspect, it is requested that employees who had been awarded “Good” or below grading in their previous five years APARs may be given an opportunity, as a one-time measure, to represent against the same.
Recently Railway Board, Ministry of Railways granted such an opportunity to its employees as a one-time measure vide Railway Board letter No. E(NG)/1-2018/CR/2 dated 27.02.2018.
Hence it is requested to issue necessary order that employees who had been awarded “Good” or below grading in their previous five years APARs may be given an opportunity, as a one-time measure, to represent against the same.
Item No.2Grant of recognition to GDS Union affiliated to FNPO as per the results of the last check off during the year 2010.
In the last verification, my NUGDS union secured 34804 members. This accounts for 13.21percent. For want of recognition, we require 39516 verified members. But we have secured 34804 members. We are short of 4712. We have submitted nearly 49000 declarations. More than 14000 declarations were made dual by the All India Postal Extra-Departmental Employees Union.. We have not been given recognition for want of 15%. On the other hand, the Bharatiya Federation affiliated union secured less than 3% are given all TU facilities,. The discriminatory and iniquitous treatment is requested to be remedied by granting recognition to the NUGDS Union.
Item No.3:- Non-adherence and non-compliance of Directorate instruction on the following cases.
1. The directorate had issued orders, as an outcome of CR committee on 10.11.17, and instructed that the CR promotion should be released before 30.1.18. Nevertheless, none of the circle have done this.
2. Not ensuring the counting of induction training for those who have been trained prior to 1986 for advancing the TBOP/BCR.
3. Not complying with the advancing of the MACP as per the amendment given in para ..... of MACP rulings.
4. The instruction on desisting from opening of split accounts with a circumventing intent to meet the target is not given a serious implementation at the field level. The act of opening split account is an offence as per the observation of Audit. The restriction imposed on this is dealt with indifference and our officials are forced to commit this offence. Instruction may kindly be issued to follow Directorates order on the above issues.
