Former NGO Co-ordination Board Executive Director Fazul Mahamed has hit at the Teacher Service Commission for what he termed as double taxation under the new medical scheme.

Fazul said for years, teachers received medical allowances as part of their basic pay, funds that were later redirected to support a medical insurance cover procured by TSC through a consortium of private insurers.
