Supreme Court observations on NMC in 2025
National Medical Commission (NMC) stipend disclosure issue
Why medical colleges and district hospitals pass financial responsibility
The ground reality of unpaid or delayed stipends
Accountability gaps in India’s medical training system
In late 2025, the Supreme Court pulled up the National Medical Commission (NMC) after several medical colleges failed to properly submit stipend details despite earlier directions. The Court made it clear: stipends are not goodwill payments — they are part of training.
But has the reality changed on the ground?
When residents are posted to district hospitals, financial responsibility often becomes blurred between parent medical colleges and State Health Societies. What follows isn’t always outright refusal — it’s delays, silence, and administrative grey zones.
This video explains the structural issue behind unpaid or delayed stipends for resident doctors in India and why clarity, not confrontation, is the real solution.
