I, my wife and a son as dependent was issued a CGHS card at my posting as Regional Labour Commissioner at lucknow around in the year 2016 and promoted to join as Labour Welfare Commissioner at CPWD HQ Delhi in the month of January 2019 both were covered under CGHS.Now again I have been transferred to an Ordnance factory at Kanpur in the month of June 2020 where they have their own hospital and medical facilities are admissible to me too. In present circumstances I am taking the medical facilities from Ordnance hospital. The CGHS card is with me and not used at all. My question is in such cases where the department has their own hospital and government employee having the CGHS card previously, what should be done with CGHS card.
    I am to retire in March 2023 probably from Ordnance factory and to apply for CGHS card as pensioner. What should I do to get it smoothly.
