Is It Legal to Deny Mediclaim Benefits During My Notice Period? Seeking Advice on Policy Changes

In a recent amendment to our Medi Claim policy, it states that "an employee has to be an active employee and not resigned. Once the employee submits their resignation, they cannot claim hospitalization expenses for any admission after the resignation date, nor can they claim cashless facilities for themselves, their spouse, kids, or dependent parents." I am serving a notice period of 3 months and am still an employee of the organization. Kindly advise whether this is in accordance with Labour Laws/Workmen Compensation Act.

Thanks.

There is no link between mediclaim and workmen (employee) compensation policy. A mediclaim policy is taken by the company for extending some welfare benefits. Whether you are eligible for benefits during your notice period or not is a call taken by your employer.
