Ref: Your OM 7/2/2019-IR&W/14359 dt. 22/11/2019
Sub: Extension of CHSS facility to parents/parents-in-law proof of establishing the dependency criteria reg.

Respected sir,
    With reference to the above subject, the above mentioned OM was issued on 22nd November 2019 and the same is informed in the house of 75th DAE DC. It is further informed that the Staff Side request to liberalize the proof of residence of parents has been considered. Accordingly in the absence of Ration card, Adhar card, bank passbook, etc the prime beneficiary can submit the affidavit, stating that the parents are residing with the prime beneficiary. We further invite your attention to para 4 of the referred OM “Further, for establishing the dependency criteria, as a proof, acknowledgement from the Income Tax department of having filed the IT return should be submitted.” The above part of the OM is being misinterpreted in different units of DAE.
We always appreciate the initiative of the Department to restrict the unwanted expenditure in the CHSS scheme. At the same time we fail to understand that once the dependency is established and included parents in the scheme are being sought the IT return acknowledgement. Further the children






between 18-25 years are normally eligible for CHS facilities and any change of income are informed by the prime beneficiary are also insisting the IT return acknowledgement. It is also found that in some units’ administration are asking the income tax return should be endorsed by chartered accountant.
In the above stated position the staff side is in a firm view that the existing beneficiaries i.e.  Parents/parents in-law/children beyond 18 years only will follow the existing procedure of self declaration. The girl child beyond 25 years and new application for parents are already required to submit the IT return acknowledgement.
It is therefore request you to instruct the Administrations of each units to restrain insisting of IT return acknowledgement for existing beneficiaries.

 Thanking you
