Sub: Issuing of Medical Card to Ex-Employees

Dear Sri Mathur,

Please find enclosed herewith copies of letters from Salem, Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants obtained under Right to Information Act 2005 by us. They are with reference to issuance of Medical Card to Ex-Employees. You are already aware of the practices prevalent in RDCIS Ranchi in this regard. As you can see these are all SAIL Plants/Units governed by the same Rules and Regulations with respect to Medical and Health Care facilities for the Ex-Employees including those who have taken Mediclaim Insurance available with the Company.

In view of these I request you to kindly issue either the old Medical Cards with yearly renewal seal and signature or new cards for use in Ispat Hospital Ranchi to all the EX-Employees of CET who desire to avail the medical facilities. In case it is decided to issue new cards the old cards also must be returned after cancellation as a Medical record for the Ex-Employees.

I request you once again to kindly do the needful and issue an appropriate medical card to all the Ex-Employees of CET who opt for availing medical facilities at Ispat Hospital Ranchi. We shall be obliged to you for this.

With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,

(Dr.V.N.Sharma)

Near Circuit House,Karamtoli, Ranchi –834001 (Jharkhand)

Sub: Non-implementation of the directive of your Central Office letter dated 21.11.2003 and your order JH/RO/RNC/ EXM/ 935/06/1369 dated 14th June 2006 by HSPF Trust for payment of P.F. Revenue surplus for the years 1996-97 to 2000-2001 and 2002-03 to its members.

Ref.: Letter No. JH/RO/RNC/935/07/6915 dated 30th March 2007 from your APFC (Sri S.K.Gupta).

Dear Sir,

e are sorry to inform you that the HSPF Trust failed to conduct a joint meeting with us as advised by you in your above referred letter. By this they have achieved newer heights of disobedience against their controlling officer, that is, RPFC Ranchi. I hope that this is enough of an indication of the level of indiscipline and disorder in the Trust and needs action at your end sooner than later.

In view of this I suggest that the issue may please be examined in the light of our letter dated 1st Nov 2006 which contains 26 pages of reply which includes 13 documents supplied by HSPF Trust to us and 3 pages of our critique and observation on the same. Their documents and argument have strengthened our case as you can see from our letter.

I may mention here that before writing to you on 1st Nov 2006 we approached SAIL/RDCIS and HSPF Trust authorities vide our letter SEEA/ P/PF/0611 dated 26th Oct 2006 similar to the one written to you on 1st Nov 2006 but failed to get a response.

We request you, therefore, to kindly issue a directive to HSPF Trust for releasing our payments which is held up now for about a decade.

Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,


(V.N.Sharma)

Sub: Unsatisfactory reply by your PIO

Ref.: Our letter No. SEEA/P/PF/0701 dated March 19, 2007 and his reply No. JH/RO/RTI-05/64 dated 3rd April 2007.

Dear Sir,

We are sorry to point out that the above quoted reply by your PIO is highly unsatisfactory and irrelevant which is causing unnecessary further delay and adding to our woes. The information was desired as to why actions were not taken (in the past i.e. before the receipt of our letter on 20.03.2007) and an exact estimation of further time, for obvious reasons, to be taken at your end for final decision in the matter. Your PIO has written a letter 10 days after receipt of our letter and referred this in his reply as action taken. This is not what we asked for.
In view of this we would like to have the information from you under the RTI Act 2005 on the same points which are given below.

1. That, why no action has been taken against SAIL/RDCIS and HSPF Trust for refusing to honour the order made by CPFC dated 23th Nov. 2003 and your order dated 14th June 2006.

2. That, you being the sole controlling officer of the Trust please let us know by what time the payments will be made by the Trust to its members including the Ex-Employees.

I request you to please include all relevant file notings, latest communications with HSPF Trust and SAIL/RDCIS and any other paper concerning this issue while providing information asked for.

Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully,


(V.N.Sharma)
