Suggestion Regarding Multiple Registration

WHAT IS PROBLEM ?

Many incidences where IMA members have to face difficulties in registering themselves with
State Medical Council even though they are registered with one or other State Medical Council.

EXAMPLE
1. Doctors working on a transferable job.
2. Doctors who live in one state and practice in other state.
3. Doctors in later years of their life shifted with their son / daughter.
Either one has to registered a fresh with State Medical Council or obtain a NOC from the Original
State Medical Council.
At present about 5-10 % doctors are facing this Problem.
This number will increase day by day because
1. All India UG seat quota.
2. All India PG seat quota.
3. Increase in Multispeciality Hospitals.
4. Increase in Superspecialist doctors.
CASE STUDY NO. 1
If I have registered in one State Medical Council & I want to practice in another state, do I need to
get my Permanent Registration in that state also. I have got my Permanent registration from the
state of UP in April, 2012 & was working in UP since now. Now I joined hospital in another state, the
hospital is asking me to get either registration of that state or MCI registration as it is mandatory.
When I tried to do MCI Registration online, there is no provision for it. If I click on permanent
Registration Indian qualification, it asks me my provisional Registration no as well as reason for
delay or asks for additional qualification Registration not the Registration if I am already registered
with other SMC. I dont have my provisional Registration no from MCI too, it is also from UP Medical
Council & it nowhere says the Registration no from other state.
In a separate RTI reply received from MCI regarding the same, they say that one cannot get
registered again once one is registered with one SMC or MCI.
Now please suggest me what shall I do now & how shall I proceed that I do comply with the MCI
rules that dual Registration is not possible & also the hospital people agrees for it. I am sure many
of the young doctors are facing similar problem like this.

CASE STUDY NO. 2

"Some of states including Delhi & Uttarakhand have legislated that every doctor practicing in these
states will have to get registered in that state. For example if originally I was registered in Bihar
but now I reside in Delhi and want to practice there, I have to procure NOC from Bihar council for
my registration in Delhi council. Without registration in Delhi Council I can not practice in Delhi state.
If I go back to Bihar again I should request Delhi council to cancel my registration and I should
inform Bihar council of my return. But instead of practicing in Delhi if i were practicing in NOIDA
then I need not do any thing as registration in Bihar is valid in UP."

Why should anybody ask the MCI under RTI what is

clearly written in the MCI Act which is
as old as 1956? Simply shows bad intellectual and practical management of an ordinary issue.
Why should anybody need in the form of an RTI statement what is clearly written in law (now a
days it is just a click away).
What is IMA doing about an issue about which so many doctors are mentally exercised?

CASE STUDY NO. 4

"This is a very important question for people like me who are practicing in Delhi NCR area. Many of
us actually practice and operate in 3-4 states and there is no clarity on this subject. Will appreciate
if the senior group members could kindly guide us."

CASE STUDY NO. 5

IMA is no more a true representative body of medical practitioners.....issues
regarding registration/re-registration or injustices happening day in & day out on the practitioners
do not get support from IMA.

SOLUTION
MCI should establish a uniform registration policy.
*
*

*
*
*

The State Medical Council continue to give the registration number as per their system.
MCI should stop giving registration. The registered Medical Graduate has to register at any one
State Medical Council.
[ In fact MCI has started this process by directing the Medical Graduate passed from universities
situated at out side India to the State Medical Council.
There will be system generated unique ID number for each Registered Medical Graduates.
[ IMA will help to MCI by providing this Unique ID number as a part of its online Accredited
Scientific Programmes.]
Each registered Medical Graduates has to select one State Medical Council for Primary (Parent)
Registration.
If Registered Medical Graduate wants to have Multiple State Council Registration due to its type
of Practice or Job, this can be possible by filling up Form Multiple Registration Form.
The Unique ID number remains the same. For other State Registration, the State code will be
added at the end of his Unique ID Number.
If Registered Medical Graduate wants to shift to other State, the parent Registration with State
Medical Council will be discontinue.
As per request, the parent State Medical Council transfer his records to other State Medical
Council & new unique ID number will be generated.
In short the registered medical graduate at a time is registered with one State
Medical Council only.

AIMS & OBECTIVIES

*

Uniform method of Registration at all the State Councils.

Unique ID No. for each Registered Medical Graduate. [will be forwarded to MCI by Indian
Medical Association]

To prevent duplicate registration.

To have updated status of registered Medical Graduates along with their qualification.

This will help in an updation of the existing IMR Registry Data through members data verified by State
Medical Council. The project also aim to add new data of newly registered Medical Graduates. There
will be generation of Unique IMR ID for each Registered Medical Graduate.
