No.E(W)2008/WE-1/10, dated 07.01.2009
Sub: Homoeopathic/ Ayurvedic dispensaries under Staff Benefit Fund (SBF) – Revision in expenditure.
Ref: This Ministry’s letters No.E(W)2004/WE-1/6, dated 28.02.2006 (RBE No. 26/2006) and No.E(W)2006/WE-1/5, dated 10.08.2006 (RBE No. 111/2006).
1. The issue regarding enhancement in the amount of honorarium admissible to the Homoeopathic/ Ayurvedic doctors etc., and also the subsidy on medicines in respect of Homoeopathic and Ayurvedic dispensaries being run under the SBF was under consideration of this office.
2. The matter has been examined in the detail and in partial supersession of the instructions contained in this office letters dated 28.02.2006 (RBE No. 26/2006) and 10.08.2006 (RBE No. 111/2006) ibid, sanction of the Ministry of Railways is communicated to revision of expenditure on the Homoeopathic and Ayurvedic dispensaries being run by the Staff Benefit Fund Committees, as follows:-

|
|
|
|

|
(ii) |

Rs.9000 p.m. |
|
(b) |

3. Annual allotment for “Indigenous Systems of Medicine” under SBF (under which Homoeopathic and Ayurvedic dispensaries function) at Rs.2.50 per capita being inadequate to meet the increase in requirement of funds on account of the above revision in the honorarium, the additional expenditure necessitated due to revision under these orders would also be met through re-appropriation from the head “Medical Services” as additional ad-hoc contribution to the SBF, and the Medical Budget would be suitably augmented from Revenues. CPOs would advise CMDs about the additional funds required on this account so that the same could be reflected in the budgetary estimates.
4. These orders take effect from 01.01.2009.
5. This issues in consultation with the Health Directorate and with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
