Department of Expenditure

North Block, New Delhi

Sir,

Sub: Enhancement of monetary ceiling for issue of sanction of medical claims.

At present the monetary ceiling for sanctioning medical claims is restricted to Rs.2 lakhs for Head of the Department. The Internal finance division is delegated for the sanction of medical claims above two lakhs to five lakhs. Now a days the medical treatment has become too costly. The claims above two lakhs are increasing and accumulating at Internal finance division of the various Departments/Ministries.

Hence, it is requested to enhance the monetary limit for sanction of medical claims as per the prescribed list to five lakhs from the present two lakhs to the Head of the Department.

A line in reply is highly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,
