This query is : Resolved
Hi Sir,
I work for Indian Railways. I joined 1 year back only.
I was not feeling well these days and I have applied for sick leave. I took private medical sick and have sent it to my office.
My office people are saying that if we do private sick from a place which is less than 9 kilometers from where Railway hospital is there they are not going to accept it and its mandatory to get treated in railway hospital only.
Can some one help me with any possible solution with this. I am getting treated by a private doctor(my family doctor). and I dont have great faith on treatment given in government hospitals.
Can some one guide me further on this. What is the best way through which I can reply to my office people.
I dont want to get my job effected in any way. Please help.

Yes, that is the rule. You should the produce the medical certificate from a Government doctor or an AMA for availing commuted leave.

The rules are kept in the knowledge domain of employees.
Download the rules and adhere.
You can always have second opinion from your own doctor , preferably a specialist doctor e.g. Orthopedic Surgeon.

how can you expect everyone(including this forum) to believe that Railway Hospital do not provide OPD facility.
In case your ailment warrants hospitalization then even private hospital will also admit you, more promptly than Railway hospital.
Come with truth if you really want workable advise. Half facts lead to half understanding and incorrect advise is generated.

Narrate the facts clearly OR act as per the rules of the Railways.

On production of the treatment particulars the railways may refer the matter to the railway medical authorities for verification and may advise you to appear before the medical board too if need be. Hence please confirm from your office about this possibility by producing the genuine treatment particulars.
