According to the memorandum, the emergency approval mechanism under CMHIS General Category shall stand discontinued with immediate effect. However, the provision will continue to remain applicable to beneficiaries registering under the Employee and Pensioner Category.
The NHPS has also revised the registration procedure for single-member households under both categories.
As per the revised norms, registration of single-member households shall not ordinarily be permitted.
