Important status regarding Peerless Hospital
The supplied document specifically states that Peerless Hospital & BK Roy Research Centre was empanelled up to 15 August 2026 but its service was terminated, except for existing 27 dialysis patients.
Therefore, beneficiaries should not assume that normal ECHS treatment is currently available at Peerless Hospital merely because its name appears in the list.
This is particularly important because the ECHS website itself advises beneficiaries to immediately bring problems at empanelled hospitals—including non-availability of beds, poor services, negligence, substandard treatment or demand for cash payment—to the notice of the Director of the concerned Regional Centre.

ECHS Hospital List: Why MOA Validity Is Important
One of the most important points visible in the supplied document is the MOA Validity column.
The list shows:
- MOA From: generally 15 December 2025
- MOA To: generally 14 March 2026
- PBG validity: varying dates for individual facilities.
This means that the document should not be treated as a permanently valid list.
Some entries also have PBG dates that have already expired, while others extend into 2027 or 2028. More importantly, the Peerless Hospital entry specifically carries a termination remark.
Therefore, the appearance of a hospital’s name in an old list does not by itself prove that the hospital is currently available for ECHS beneficiaries.
ECHS has continued to issue new empanelment-related orders. For example, a Ministry of Defence/ECHS memorandum dated 3 November 2025 dealt with the empanelment of hospitals, nursing homes and diagnostic laboratories following the 87th Screening Committee meeting held on 10 June 2025.
The official ECHS website also continues to publish updated medical policies and advisories, including policies issued in 2026, demonstrating that ECHS medical arrangements are subject to ongoing changes.
How to Verify Whether an ECHS Hospital Is Currently Empanelled
Before visiting a hospital, ECHS beneficiaries should follow these steps:
Step 1 – Check the official ECHS website
The official ECHS website provides an “Empanelled Hospital Details” facility among its useful links.
Official ECHS Website – Empanelled Hospital Details
Step 2 – Confirm the hospital and speciality
Do not check only the hospital’s name. Confirm:
- Hospital/centre name
- Location
- Speciality
- Treatment/procedure
- Current empanelment status
- Referral requirements
Step 3 – Confirm with the ECHS Polyclinic
For planned treatment, beneficiaries should contact their concerned ECHS Polyclinic and obtain the required referral/authorisation wherever applicable.
Step 4 – Verify before admission
Even if a hospital appears in an older ECHS list, it is advisable to confirm its current status before travelling or getting admitted.
Regional Centre ECHS Kolkata – Contact Details
The official ECHS website lists the Regional Centre ECHS Kolkata at:
Regional Centre ECHS-Kolkata
Headquarters Eastern Command
Fort William, Kolkata – 21

Important Advice for ECHS Beneficiaries
An ECHS beneficiary should never rely exclusively on a WhatsApp list, social-media post or an old PDF/image when planning expensive medical treatment.
Empanelment can change because of:
- Expiry of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
- Termination/suspension of services
- Renewal or non-renewal
- Changes in approved specialities
- Changes in authorised procedures
- Administrative decisions by ECHS
- Changes in referral arrangements
The official ECHS website specifically provides mechanisms for dealing with problems faced by beneficiaries at empanelled hospitals.

Final Words
The ECHS empanelled hospital list for West Bengal is an important reference for veterans, ex-servicemen pensioners and their families. The list supplied for this article covers multi-speciality hospitals, super-speciality hospitals, cancer and cardiac centres, eye hospitals, dental facilities and diagnostic centres across Kolkata and several other locations.
However, empanelment is not permanent. Since the supplied list contains MOA dates extending only up to March 2026 in many cases and also contains specific termination remarks, beneficiaries should use it as a reference list rather than confirmation of current empanelment.
For the latest position, always cross-check the facility through the official ECHS system or the concerned ECHS Polyclinic/Regional Centre before taking treatment. The official ECHS website remains the authoritative source for current hospital empanelment and related medical policies.
