Sub : Streamlining of procedure to process of medical reimbursement claim.
Sir/Madam, It has been observed that the medical reimbursement claims are being received in the Board, are incomplete and not subjected to any initial check. As a result a lot of time is spent on further communications resulting in delay in settlement of the claim.
2. It has therefore been decided that in future all medical claim are to be submitted to the Board on the basis of the attached Check List with proper referencing of the documents with page number and Annexure.
3. Offices of the Pr. CCIT and DGIT (lnv.) are requested for wide circulation of this advisory amongst the all subordinate offices under their control.
Yours Faithfully
