New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Deployment of Ayurvedic/Homeopathic Medical Practitioners under Staff Benefit Fund Scheme — Age of retirement thereof

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No.E(W)2003/WE-1/3 dated 02.07.2003

Ayurvedic and Homeopathic Medical Practitioners of repute are engaged in the Railways under Staff Benefit Fund Scheme, and all the expenses incurred on this account are met from the relevant head of this fund.

These Medical Practitioners are, obviously, not regular employees of the Railways and are engaged on Honorarium basis, as such fixing their age of superannuation on par with regular railway employees, i.e. 60 years, is not logical as stipulated in Railway Board’s letter referred to above.

The Board are, therefore, requested to issue necessary amendments, fixing upper age limit for Ayurvedic/Homeopathic Practitioners engaged under Staff Benefit Fund Scheme 65 years, so that Railwaymen are able to enjoy benefit of getting treatment from the experienced medical practitioners of these fields.

Yours faithfully.
