1. There have been cases wherein the
husband and wife who are both serving/ retired and
are otherwise eligible for applying for an AWHO scheme
have both registered for an AWHO scheme separately.
This is not permitted vide Amplification Note 4 to
Para 12 of AWHO Master Brochure Jul 87 (as amended)
as under :-
“Where Both Husband
and Wife are eligible, only one of them can apply.”
2. The same has also been specially queried at Para
16 (a)& (b) of the application form AH 30.
3. A few such cases of dual registration have come
to our notice and accordingly the registration of
the later registrant has been cancelled. However,
other such registrants, are cautioned to self withdraw
their second registration immediately. Any cases coming
to our notice hereafter will entail cancellation of
registration / allotment and forfeiture of registration
amount of both the registrants. Plea on ignorance
of the rules will not be accepted.
