MEMBERS MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT

With a vision to provide some financial assistance to the members who get hospitalised, the then Chairman Shri Manam Anjaneyulu garu has introduced this Medical reimbursement scheme to members in the year 2005 for all those members who have a share capital of Rs 5000/- with a link deposit of Rs 5000/- or a loan in his/her name. If the member is a loanee, the loan account should not be in NPA. Since the inception year to 2012 an amount up to Rs 15,000/- was given away to the deceased who got hospitalised. The policy period is from December 2^nd of Current year to December 1^st of Next year. In the following years the scheme got transformed several times as per the request of the Members and the resolutions passed in the Bank Annual General Body. In 2012 the amount of hospitalisation was enhanced to Rs. 20,000/- per member, if both husband and wife are members and are in the eligibility criteria then both are eligible for claiming an amount upto 40,000/-. Till 2015 the scheme was extended to the members for free of cost. The General Body in their AGM in the year 2015 passed a resolution to enhance the claim amount to Rs 30,000/- per member and if both husband and wife are members they are eligible for claim amount up to Rs 60,000/- by collecting an amount of Rs 200/- per member towards scheme management for which the eligible member has to submit an authorisation form (commonly known as Sammathi patram) in the branch to debit this Rs 200/- from his/her account.
