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 reimbursement of medical expenses (on hospitalisation) 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 I.e. 2005 to 2012 an amount up to Rs 15,000/- was paid towards the expenses. The policy period was from 2ndDecember of Current year to 1stDecember of preceding year. In the following years, the scheme got transformed several times as per the needs and request of the Members by passing necessary resolutions in the Banks Annual General Body Meetings. In the year 2012 the amount of hospitalisation was enhanced to Rs. 20,000/- per member from Rs. 15000/-, if both husband and wife are members and are in the eligibility criteria then both are eligible for claiming an amount upto 40,000/- on floater basis. The scheme was extended to the members for free of cost up to the year 2015. 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 administrative charges for which the eligible member has to submit an authorisation form (commonly known as Sammathi patram) in the branch authorising the bank to debit an amount of Rs 200/- from his/her account.
