13. DOS House
Having proper DOS House is on Top of Agenda and we cannot run Society from Road. The need for purchase of DOS House

has been repeatedly emphasized in various executive and general body meetings. The DOS House is needed for following
purposes.

To avoid Income tax related issues.
Proper maintenance of records.
To avoid expenditure of Monthly Meetings.
To have proper address and to avoid problems of repeated change of address and phone numbers.
Since 1998 every year DOS House subcommittee was appointed by the President to explore the acquiring of the property
for DOS House. So this is cherished goal for DOS. The funds for DOS House are available and distinct from corpus fund arising
out of life membership fund.
Keeping in view the various recommendations of various sub-committees and executive meetings.
We have identified A-23, First Floor, Green Park Property with area of 2654.54 Sq. ft. suitable for DOS House. The final re-
negotiated price of the property is 5.9 crore.

14. PIL on TPA issue:
During interaction with members, it was found that TPA empanelment is one of the areas, where there is no transprancy,

no accountability, no standard pricing, no proper grievance redressal mechanism. There is total arbitrariness.
We will tackle these so called new middle mens in Indian Health Insurance Companies by the way of legal course. I would

like to congratulate Dr. Rajendra Khanna and Dr. C.P. Khandelwal and TPA Committee for taking this decision. The PIL has
finalized and it will filed very soon.

15. Constitution amendment:
Delhi Ophthalmological Society since its inception in 1948 has stood for its members and has been involved in the betterment

of science and imparting the education about latest of techniques, technology and understanding of ophthalmology to one and
all. A society which has continuously grown has done its functioning as per the guidelines laid down by its constitution and
bye-laws. A bye-law is a rule or law established by an organization or community to regulate itself. No matter how good a job
you have done creating your byelaws, at same point of time you need to change something. Over the period of evolution of
the society, the bye-laws also need to evolve as per the suitability of the changing scenario. Bye-laws are meant to guide the
members for the optimal functioning of the society. As time changes, different problems arise that force its members to re-think
about the existing bye-laws. However, in amending a previously adopted byelaw, the basic aim is to make sure that the rights of
all members continue to be protected.

The DOS constitution sub-committee has spent a lot of time on discussing the changes required. After discussing the pros
and cons of all the suggestions, the sub-committee has done the necessary amendments and finally come out with the final
shape of the bye-laws of the society. These are being put before the GBM for final discussion and approval. This may not be the
best and I invite suggestion from General Body on the constitutional amendments. The copy of amendments approval by the
Committee are attached for your kind perusal.

16. Registration of Ophthalmic A&B scan under PNDT act.
We have raised the issue with Delhi Govt. With kind support from Director GNEC, HOD Radiodiagnosis MAMC, issue have

been amicably settled in the meeting held with DGHS Govt. of NCT of Delhi.

17. Day Care Centre
To fill in the lacuna between OPD Treatment and nursing home treatment, it has been felt necessary to provide for

Ophthalmic day care centers as advancement in medical science, many operations and procedures do not require overnight
admission/stay in a nursing home but still the same cannot be called as on OPD procedure but can be called as Ophthalmic day
care treatment as it is not necessary to admit the patient overnight and the patient can go home a few hours after the surgery
or procedure including Laser. The Ophthalmic day care center cuts the cost to an extent of nursing home establishments which
ultimately results in reducing the cost to the patient without their being any compromise in the treatment/service. One-day
surgery is rapidly growing concept as non-emergency, secondary or intermediate surgeries form a major portion of treatment
and Ophthalmic Day Care Centers will make it affordable and safe.

68 DOS Times - March-April 2019

Reports

The issue has been taken with Delhi Govt. and we have received favorable response. We need to takeup the issue with Govt.
for removing the condition that there shall be nursing staff on duty.

18. Income Tax notice to DOS:
a) TDS demands amounting to Rs. 11.31 Lacs relating to earlier years were raised: these have been largely rectified as they

arose due to mistakes made in TDS returns filed earlier.
b) In asst. Yr. 2015-16, a demand of Rs. 7.61 crores has been raised due to the reason that while filing the I.T. Return, income

of Rs. 8.04 crores has been included twice. We had filed rectification applications u/Sec. 154 as well as a grievance petition,
and the matter was transferred to the jurisdictional Assessing officer, with whom the matter has been resolved.
c) Asst. Yr. 2016-17 and 2017-18 is under scrutiny.
In this case also, Forms and 9A have not been filed with the I.T. return by the previous CA.
e) The income tax department as issued order for refund of Rs. 32,64,736/- along with interest. It has been possible due to
untiring efforts of our CA and his team. I would like to congratulate Mr. A. Ravinder Nath and his team for this task.

20. Acknowledgements
I wish to acknowledge the tremendous amount of support extended to DOS by Dr Guru Nanak Eye Centre, all the faculty

and residents to all academic activities of DOS. My sincere gratitude goes out to the Director of GNEC Prof. Sushil Kumar for
providing all infrastructure support to house the DOS office and his immense wisdom and constant guidance in making every
DOS event a wonderful success.

I am indeed blessed with the most coveted privilege of working under the able guidance of my teacher and the best
president DOS has even seen, Dr S.K. Khokhar, doyens in Indian ophthalmology, who with their exemplary personification of the
role of presidency have enabled me to take DOS to greater heights as never before.

I give my salutations sir to you for the opportunity to excel as your secretary and will cherish this privilege for a lifetime.
Our Treasurer Dr Arun Baweja, is our general in armour with amazing sharpness in financial matters.
I wish to thank all the members of the executive, who have stood by me and supported me in all the activities and all the
members of DOS who have provided invaluable inputs to improve the working of the society and participated in large numbers
in all academic initiative of this executive.
The DOS ensemble owes its efficient functioning supremacy to the backbone support afforded by the DOS Staff. The
diligence and hard work of the DOS office staff particularly Mr Parveen Kumar who masters every task entrusted to him with
meticulous execution and his mastery in secretarial assistance skills deserves a special mention. Mr Sandeep is our hard working
and committed accountant, who works tirelessly under the able guidance of Dr Arun Baweja our treasurer to keep all accounts
in order, with such ease that is amazing, given the immense load of finances that goes through the DOS account each year. Mr
Sunil, our editorial assistant who coordinates the typesetting of DOS times with me and works overboard to meet all demands
for every issue and for all conference related documents settings. Mr Babu our library staff, assists Dr J.S. Bhalla in DOS library
maintenance with dedication and sincerity. Mr Harshpal our office attendant, is resourceful in handling any situation posted to
his care. My special thanks to you all who work with me like family to give the best output to DOS.
I thank the Almighty for this tremendous opportunity to be at the helm of affairs for DOS the past two years.
I have left no stone unturned in decorating DOS with laurels galore during my tenure. In this past two years, I have toiled
with my heart, mind and soul to set higher standards in all ventures of DOS, steering the society forward both academically and
financially. I have strived hard to lead this society with an embodiment of grace and elegance as an academic body.
Before I conclude I wish to acknowledge every DOS member who entrusted me with this singular honour of holding the
reigns of DOS as your General Secretary with thumping majority and sincerely hope that I made you all proud in all that I did. I
am at loss for words to express my gratitude to you all and will forever treasure this opportunity to serve you.
Once again I would like to thank all the members of the executive who stood by me and supported me in all the activities
and all the members of DOS who have provided invaluable inputs to improve the working of the society. I hope I have done
justice to my position and have lived up to your expectations.
Would like to thank each and every member of Society for giving me the opportunity to serve the society. I would like to
thank you all for having faith in me.
I would like to thank Dean MAMC & Director GNEC, Entire Faculty, residents, students and staff of my institute for all help
I needed.
At the end I would be failing in my duty ,if I do not thank my family for encouraging me, and allowing me time away from
them to pursue my endeavours. Last, but not the least, I pay my absolute gratitude to the almighty for his kindness and guidance.
I look forward to working with you, for making DOS grow from strength to strength. Please remember, any society is as
dynamic and proactive as its members. So once again, I seek your support and blessing. Thanking you once again.

Long live DOS.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. (Prof.) Subhash C. Dadeya
