Sub:- Procedure for implementation of change of option by a Pensioner/ Family Pensioner from FMA to CGHS (OPD) facility and vice-versa- reg.

Attention is invited to Department of Pension and Pensioner’s Welfare (DoP&PW) OM No. 4/05/2019-P&PW(D) dated 23 March, 2022 wherein the revised procedure for implementation of option by a Pensioner/Family Pensioner from Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA) to CGHD (OPD) facility is laid down.

The Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO), in this regard, has designed a unique format of special seal authority (SSA) and updated its database for processing of cases with regard to discontinuation of FMA. Now, on receipt of intimation in FMA Form-4 from the Central Pension Processing Centre (CPPC) regarding stoppage of FMA to pensioner/family pensioner, CPAO will update its database and issue revision authority for necessary updation in records of Pay and Accounts Office.

In view of the above, all the Pr. CCAs/ CCAs/ CAs/ AGs are requested to issue instructions to PAOs under their control to make necessary changes in their record.

This issues with the approval of the Chief Controller (Pensions).
