We all know Sixth Pay Commission recommended for New Health Insurance Scheme in lieu of present CGHS. Though employees covered under CGHS have apprehensions whether this proposed new scheme would be better than existing CGHS, in respect of employees residing in Non-CGHS area this scheme is definitely a boon.
The present CS Medical Attendance Rules under which employees residing under non-CGHS area are covered has no real intention to provide for proper medical treatment be it In-Patient or Out-Patient treatment as the cost reimbursed under CS Medical Attendance Rules would be a paltry sum compared to the actual cost of medical treatment in non-CGHS areas.
In the case of Pensioners too residing in non-CGHS areas, the fixed medical Allowance of Rs.300 per month provided to them may not be even sufficient to meet out the cost for one visit to a nearby Doctor for cold.
Under these circumstances, Central Government Employees and Pensioners residing in non-CGHS are really in need of good medical treatment at par with their colleagues in CGHS Areas. When New Medical Insurance Scheme was proposed by Government in the year 2008 as per the recommendations of 6CPC, it was believed that it would come as a relief for employees and pensioners in non-CGHS area.
But this scheme is still not a reality as in spite of repeated promises in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha that the scheme would be implemented soon, it it yet to take off.
Now, on 28.08.2012, there was another query regarding implementation of this Scheme for which Health Ministry has replied as follows

RELAXATION OF CCS (CONDUCT) RULES AND CCS(CCA) RULES
A written answer was given in the Rajya Sabha to the questions about the subject of relaxation of CCS (Conduct) Rules and CCS(CCA) Rules by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Shri.V.Narayanasamy as follows...
There are some provisions to relax the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964 and Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965...
So far as CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 are concerned, the Central Government can relax the requirements of any Rule to such extent and subject to such conditions as it may consider necessary, for dealing with the case in a just and equitable manner. However, any order of the Central Government which may be issued relaxing the requirement of any Rules in any particular case should be authenticated as an order of the President in accordance with the requirements of Article 77 of the Constitution.
So far as CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 are concerned, power to relax time limit or to condone delay vests with the authority competent under these Rules to make any order for good and sufficient reasons or if sufficient cause is shown, extend the time limit in these rules for anything required to be done under these rules or condone any delay.
Related orders...
Government of India is fully competent to modify, relax or dispense with any rules to prevent hardships in any individual case.
Where the Central Government is satisfied that the operation of any rule regulating the conditions of service of Union Government servants, or any class of such Government servants, causes undue hardship in any particular case, it may, by order, dispense with or relax the requirements of that rule to such extent and subject to such conditions as it may consider necessary, for dealing with the case in a just and equitable manner. In this rule, the expression "Union Government servants" means all persons whose conditions of service may be regulated by rules made by the President under the proviso to Article 309 or clause (5) of Article 148 of the Constitution.
[MHA Notification No. 108/54-Ests.(A), dated 20th November, 1954]
Power to relax time-limit and to condone delay
Save as otherwise expressly provided in these rules, the authority competent under these rules to make any order may, for good and sufficient reasons or if sufficient cause is shown, extend the time specified in these rules for anything required to be done under these rules or condone any delay.
