The Legal Coordination Committee (LCC) for Government Doctors has urged the National Medical Commission (NMC) to insist that the Tamil Nadu government pay government doctors in the State on a par with Central government doctors, in keeping with the principle of “equal pay for equal work”.
In a statement, the LCC said that the NMC had instructed that government doctors across the country be paid salaries equivalent to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) level. In the light of this, the State government should immediately fulfil the salary demands of government doctors.
MBBS, speciality and super-speciality doctors in Tamil Nadu are paid ₹40,000 less than MBBS doctors in other States. The association demanded that government doctors in Tamil Nadu be paid salaries equivalent to Central government doctors. Alternatively, as per G.O. 354, pay band-4 should be given in 12 years of service.
