RISK-CUM-SAVING FUND SCHEME THE BACKGROUND The CISF Central Welfare Risk Premia Fund Scheme introduced w.e.f. 0I-06-1986 and revised w.e.f. 1-9-89 was meant for providing financial assistance to the families of personnel who die while in service and to those who are medically boarded out of service on account of invalidation. There was also a provision for refund of the amount of subscriptions with the prescribed percentage of bonus to the personnel retiring from service or leaving the Force on some other grounds. In order to provide relief to the personnel leaving Force on retirement, the Risk Premia Fund Scheme was modified to Risk Premia cum Medical Assistance cum saving scheme 1997 (RMS 1997) which provided monthly pension for life after payment of subscription over 20 years. As the experience of around five years showed that the scheme 1997 (RMS 1997) was not viable, a decision to revise the said scheme i.e. "CISF Risk-premia-cum- Medical Assistance-cum-saving scheme 1997" was examined by the Governing Body of Welfare Funds held on April 24, 2002 and the core committee of CWF has approved the Risk Premia-cum Saving Scheme 2002 wef. 01.08.2002. The annual meeting of the Governing Body of Welfare Funds was held on 24-Apr-2002. The Governing body examined the sustainability of the scheme "CISF Risk-premia-cum-Medical Assistance-cum-saving scheme 1997". With this purpose, the Governing Body also examined the inflow and outflow of the RMS Fund in depth, and found that the outflow is much higher than the inflow. Also, the scheme will not be able to sustain this trend and will collapse, if allowed to run in its present form. In sequel the core committee of CWF approved the Risk Premia -Cum -saving fund scheme-2002 w.e.f. 01.08.02. The rules have therefore been amended as under:- 26 2.
