I am a state govt. employee intends to opt for WBHS before 31.03.12. My wife is an Assistant Teacher working in a secondary school. In wbxpress i have read one of your comment that M.A. is admissible for teacher if her husband in WBHS scheme. Is there any G.O. about that? Please give me the memo no.
As per memo No. 9205-F (MED) dt. 5th October, 2009 a relinquishment certificate of M.A. ought to be obtained from the school authority if she opted to be enrolled in WBHS with me.
Plz advise.
As per Memo No. 3474-F dated 11.05.09, Rule (1) Note: If one opts under the Scheme, Medical Allowance will not be admissible to both of them provided that both husband and wife are State Govt. Employees.
Accordingly the comment was made. Govt. clarified the matter vide Memo No. 9205-F (MED) dated 05.10.09. If the spouse is an employee of central govt. / Bank or employed in a corporation / undertaking financed wholly or partly by the Central or State Government, local bodies, aided institutions and Private organizations, which provide medical services, the medical facility can be availed of at one place only. Therefore, if spouse wants to get the benefits under the West Bengal Health Scheme, 2008 an official certificate from his/her employer is to be obtained first regarding relinquishment of medical allowance and medical benefits available from his/her employer. Sorry, I missed the second order while commenting.
Please see the attachments.
