Loss or Damage of CGHS Card

By | February 12, 2016

It is responsibility of CGHS card holder to keep the card safely in his custody. If in case CGHS plastic card is lost or damaged the card holder has to immediately report to AD Office, New Delhi and department in which the member is working. When the department will receive complete details regarding misplacement of card it will send the detailed report to Additional Director Office.

If the card is lost, it can be misused. So an immediate FIR should be launched to stop misuse of CGHS card. The member has to report to Additional Director (HQ), New Delhi along with copy of FIR. The member should also inform CMO In-Charge of the wellness center or hospital where your CGHS card is registered. To get duplicate card the CGHS member has to pay a penalty of Rs.50/-. Penalty once paid is not refundable even if the card is retrieved later on.

Following points are to be kept in mind regarding Loss of CGHS Plastic Card

  • If duplicate CGHS plastic card is issued and later on the old card is found, then it should be reported to AD Office and the original card should be returned for cancellation.
  • In special circumstances the Health and Family welfare ministry may waive off the penalty for loss of card.
  • If the Card holder fails to provide any satisfactorily reason for loss of card, the authorities may take disciplinary action against him.

    Sir,
    I’m a former member of Parliament in the house of Rajya Sabha. Therefore, I am entitled to CGHS card. But unfortunately a mistake has been done in the spelling of my surname while printing the card. Accordingly, the wrong spelling of my surname has been printed on my card.
    Now, my question is how I can correct the same. Please let me know the detail procedure in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Nepal Dev Bhattacharjee
