I have paid lifetime payment opting forCGHS facilityformyself and my wife at the time of my retirement.Accordingly,twoplastic cards valid upto 31st july2015 were issued. Now,for renewal of the cards,the dept is asking for photos and copy of old plasticcards again.I surprise as to why the necessity arise for resubmission of the above documents again when the cards are computerised and can be issued duly incorporating the renewal date. I am sick and cannot take trouble of visiting the office for no. of times for new cards. I feel it is very strange to note that there is no relief to the pensioners in the new primeministership of Honourable Honourable MODI SAHEB. Even now,if the above procedure is liberelised now,many patients will be happy. Kindly help us to die happily.—-vvsnrao(a pensioner)
