No free diet to CRPF personnel in hospitals

New Delhi, Feb 5 (PTI) With the revised pay structure, the CRPF personnel are facing a unique problem -- jawans admitted in its hospitals are no longer entitled to free diet.

Prior to the implementation of 6th Pay Commission recommendations, jawans were getting free diet based on the pay scale limits set earlier. But now, the monetary ceiling for providing free diet to admitted patients has been fixed up to Rs 7,450 per month, sources said.

The same has been fixed at Rs 11,160 per month for severely sick patients and those suffering from TB.

As the salary of all personnel is revised, most of the constables have been placed in the pay scale of more than the new set limit for free diet.
