My office has refused to add my child as medical dependent

I am working as an officer in Airports Authority of India (AAI) and my wife is working in IT Sector (Capgemini).

My wife is not my Medical Dependent and avails Medical Benefits of Capgemini.

Recently my wife gave birth to our baby. As the Medical Benefits of AAI are much better than Capgemini, we have decided to make our avail the medical beneficiary of Airports Authority of India.

But my office HR (AAI-HR) has refused to add my child as medical beneficiary until and unless a declaration is given by Capgemini HR that my child is not availing Capgemini Medical Benefits.

Now, Capgemini HR has refused to provide any such declaration.

What should I do now? My child is left with no medical coverage. How to proceed legally against these two organizations?

Kindly note: The internal grievance redressal system of both the organizations are slow, pathetic and almost non-existent.

You get a declaration in the form of an affidavit affirmed by your wife that she is not availing this medical insurance covered by her company and then you submit it along with your application to the AAI requesting to add your child as your dependent for medical benefits.

If they still insist on the declaration to be made by your wife's employer then you can issue a legal notice through your lawyer demanding the prescribed provisions of law mandating the said requirement.

If there's no proper response you can approach high court with a writ petition seeking direction to AAI to accommodate your request by an order of court.

Both of you are entitled for medical facility, as per policy of the employer(s). Accordingly, either of you can avail medical facility for the baby, which can be claimed as per your choice/ convenience.

If you (either of the claimant) is/are denied the facility issue legal notice to your/ her employer.
