Correction Slip of Para 524, IRMM 2000.
Para 524 (ii), IRMM 2000 may be read as under:-
“Para 524 (ii), IRMM 2000 – Periodical medical examination of an employee should preferably be completed on the same day for employees in Aye-two and below medical categories and within two days in Aye-one medical category, but invariably within three days for employees of all medical categories. However, if a Railway doctor is of the view that the employee is a case of diabetes, hypertension or any other treatable condition and declaring him/her fit is likely to take more than three days’ time, the doctor will advise such employee to be kept on sick list till the employee is declared fir for duty. The examining doctor should inform in writing the controlling authority at the place of posting of the employee concerned to issue sick memo to the employee for the Authorized Medical Officer to keep him / her on sick list till his case is finally decided by the Medical Examiner. In such cases, for the period the employee is kept on sick list due to treatable medical condition, the period of sickness shall be debited to his / her own leave account. However, in other cases where medical examination could not be completed in three days due to reasons not attributable to health condition of the employee, the entire period required by the doctor to come to a conclusion of the PME should be treated as duty. However, it will not include the time taken by the employee to procure spectacle or any willful delay by the employee”.
