  2. Class I Retired Govt, employees who retired prior to 2006 were entitled to Private Ward, although at the time of their retirement they were not drawing salary of Rs. 13,950 pm. In some cases their basic pension has been revised above Rs. 13,850, but as per the pay/basic pension limits mentioned in the CGEPHI Scheme,they would be getting only semi-private ward. Would their Private Ward entitlement be protected if they join the CGEPHIS now?
