Regarding exercise of option for Medical Allowance for 2020-21. As per the BSNL CO. order Family pensioner can not change the option of what the pensioner given. Medical allowance facility to Pensioners was accorded since 2018-19. All pensioners were getting only voucher payment earlier. Inspite of that Some of the Family pensioner got medical allowance payment for 2018-19 in some circle. My personnel suggestion is that those Family pensioners having BSNL MRS CARD and exercised option for Allowance based on May 2020 letter also can submit. Since BSNL CO asks to submit a fresh option those who have not given any bill for 2020-21 can also have the chance to submit option for Medical allowance.
