The Central Govt. has issued orders on 19 November 2014 increasing the Fixed Medical Allowance for Central Government Pensioners from Rs. 300 to Rs.500. This is applicable from the date of orders.
NCCPA and AIBDPA has been demanding thst FMA should be increased to Rs. 2000 considering the special need of the old aged people who are victims of many ailments. This demand was also raised before the VII Central Pay Commission, when NCCPA, BCPC and AIBDPA presented the case.
The increase is very meagre and needs to be further increased.
