Sir,
I am a Central Govt employee and I had updated my ghaziabad address in office records which comes under CGHS area but office however not deducted CGHS subscription and I don't have CGHS card and never availed such facility. But now I asked my office for availing CGHS facility and they are saying that I have to pay monthly subscription of CGHS for last two years as I was living in CGHS area. I informed my office about updating my address in office record so it was their duty to deduct monthly subscription. However recovery of CGHS subscription for not using CGHS facility is legal. Is their any rule regarding such recovery?

21. I retired in 1998 from Central Government service but, I never made a CGHS
card. Can I get a CGHS card now?
Pensioners can apply for CGHS card with relevant documents. However, the
subscriptions as applicable at current rates shall have to be paid.
22. My husband/wife is also employed under Central Government and is eligible for
a separate CGHS Card. Is it necessary that separate cards are to be obtained?
No. Spouse drawing higher pay shall make the card and other spouse is eligible
to avail CGHS benefits as member.
23. My husband / wife retired in 2002. He /she was paying CGHS subscription every
year. After his death can I get the card transferred in my name ? Do have I to pay
extra ? Shall I get Life Time Valid card?
Yes, the ownership of card can be transferred in the name of spouse on
submission of required documents. Additional Director of concerned city shall
transfer the ownership of Card in the computer database and same CGHS
plastic cards with same Beneficiary ID can be used.
No extra payment is to be made, in case of life time cards. However in other
cases one has to pay 10 years subscription for life time card
For example, if the spouse had contributed for seven years before he expired ,
balance payment for the remaining three years is to be paid for a life time
card.
Documents required :
i) Application in prescribed format
ii) Proof of Family Pension with its break up from the bank having his/her
pension account.
24. How to transfer CGHS card from one Wellness Centre to other in the same city?
If there is any change in residential address, CMO I/c may be approached with
proof of residence for transferring the data on-line from one Wellness Centre
to another in the same city. CMO I/c of the new Wellness Centre will accept
on-line, the data of transferred card.
In respect of serving employees the request is to be forwarded by his/her
office / department.
25. I am CGHS beneficiary at Kanpur and I am visiting Mumbai for 6 months. Can I
get CGHS facilities at Mumbai? Can the same card of Kanpur continue or is a
separate card to be made? From where do I get permission for the same?
Subsequent to computerization no separate permission is required and CGHS
card is valid for availing facilities from any CGHS Wellness Centre in India. For
any assistance, Additional Director of the city (Additional Director CGHS HQ in
case of Delhi) may be contacted.
26. After retirement in 2007 I got a Life time Pensioner CGHS card made in Delhi.
Now I am shifting to Dehradun. Can I use the same card? Do I pay again?
Pensioners shifting from one CGHS covered city to another, will have to apply
to the Additional Director of concerned city for transfer of card. The card shall
be transferred online and a receipt will be issued to the beneficiary, on the
basis of which, Additional Director of new city ( say Dehradun) shall receive the
data. The same Plastic cards and same Ben ID will be valid in the new city. No
contribution is required to be paid in respect of pensioner beneficiaries holding
life time cards.
27. I live in Gurgaon but my office is in Saket. Can I avail facilities from both the
places because it is convenient for me?
Yes. Subsequent to computerization CGHS facilities can be availed from any
Wellness Centre in India.
28. Whom should I contact if the doctors

Not availing CGHS facilities if living within the CGHS area does not automatically be treated as official exemption from the CGHS facilities. Also correspondence of address change with HR by an employee does not make them liable to circulate your address change notification to all the sections, including medical section. For availing or denial of medical facilities by CGHS, you were required to correspond with the medical branch/section of your organization.
However, your question to ask whether it is legal or not to make outstanding recovery is quite absurd. It is not understood, what you will do with that information. Even if it is stated that it is illegal, would you like to spend thousands of rupees in filing a case against your employer just to get waiver of a paltry sum of the outstanding subscription for the period during which you could not avail the facility?

@ Mr. Kishan Dutt, Retd Judge,
Please don't mind, although made without any introductory statement, your examples pertaining to FAQ on CGHS are good, but have no relevance to the context, as these lack the answer to the query of the querist, who wanted to know the legality of the proposed recovery of the CGHS contribution for the period during which he did not happen to be a member of CGHS. That does not give any clue, what and why you wanted to convey through your response to the query. I don't think your judgments, while in service, would also have been without any introductory statements with reference to the context of the case.

@ the Anonymous querist,
When nothing is secret in asking a general knowledge question, what compelled to keep yourself anonymous in asking your query? That clearly reveals as if your query is merely of an academic nature and does not relate to any real problem.

The querist would be justified to question Mr. Kumar Doab, a fake expert with unreal name, whether he knows even ABC of the CGHS Rules and conditions of membership.

You can expect Mr. Kumar Doab, a fake expert with unreal name, to make only vague and irrelevant posts like his latest post, but not any legally justified advice.
