JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~
The petitioners in all these writ petitions are
Indian students who pursued their Medical Degrees outside
India. Indian citizens and Overseas Citizens of India who have
obtained their primary medical qualifications from institutions
outside India are required to pass the Foreign Medical
Graduate Examination (FMGE) in order to get registration
under the National Medical Commission (NMC) or any State
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Medical Council. They are required to obtain provisional
registration under the State Medical Councils in order to apply
for Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI). The
Foreign Medical Graduates are required to complete a 12
month CRMI on par with Indian Medical Graduates (IMGs) in
order to become eligible to apply for permanent registration
under the State Medical Councils.
2. The petitioners in these writ petitions
completed their medical degree courses abroad, in countries
like Russia, Bulgaria, Philippines and Guyana. On their return
after education, they applied for CRMI and were allotted to
various General Hospitals. The petitioners were required to
pay an annual fee to complete their one year internship. The
fee demanded was higher than the fees levied from Indian
Medical Graduates. The petitioners impugn Government
Orders fixing the fee for CRMI and seek to declare that they are
entitled to do internship without paying any fee.
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
3. Sri. Abhilash K.N., counsel for the petitioners
in W.P.(C) No.19369/2025, argued that no fee is to be charged
from Foreign Medical Graduates doing CRMI in view of the
Circular dated 19.05.2022 of the National Medical Commission.
As per clarification issued under Circular dated 09.05.2023 of
the NMC, the amount of stipend payable to the interns is to be
decided by the appropriate authority applicable to the
institution/University or State. However, the Government of
Kerala issued GO dated 03.04.2025 ordering that the Foreign
Medical Graduates have to pay ₹5,000/- per month as
internship fee. They have to remit ₹60,000/- as fee for the
whole year, even though they practice for only a few months.
4. The counsel for the petitioners pointed out that
though the NMC has issued Circular dated 19.10.2022 leaving
it up to the Institution/University/State to decide the amount of
stipend payable to the interns, the discretion/power given under
Circular dated 19.10.2022 is only with respect to the stipend
payable to the interns. The NMC gives no option to the State to
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
levy any amount as internship fee.
5. A Division Bench of this Court has held that it
is clear from the Circular issued by the NMC that the policy of
the Commission is that no fee shall be charged from the
Foreign Medical Graduates for permitting them to do internship
by the Medical Colleges. The Division Bench, in the judgment
in W.P.(C) No.23663/2020 and connected cases, directed the
Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare,
Government of Kerala to consider the issue of fixation of fee for
internship as per GO dated 16.10.2020 in the light of Circular
dated 04.03.2022 of the NMC and take a decision. The
decision taken thereupon as per GO dated 03.04.2025 goes
against the policy of the NMC and the judgment rendered by
the Division Bench of this Court.
6. Sri. T.K. Ananda Krishnan, counsel for the
petitioner in W.P.(C) No.19908/2025, urged that in view of
Section 10 of the National Medical Council Act, the power to
make policy regarding the internship is exclusively vested with
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
the NMC. The NMC has framed Regulations in this regard.
The Government Order dated 03.04.2025 goes against the
statute and hence is ultravires.
7. Sri. Sidharth O.K., counsel appearing for the
petitioners in W.P.(C) No.20172/2025, submitted that after
qualifying the FMGE and obtainining provisional registration,
there cannot be any distinction between Indian Medical
Graduates and Foreign Medical Graduates with respect to
internship. There is no substantial difference between Indian
Medical Graduates and Foreign Medical Graduates once the
Foreign Medical Graduates clear FMGE and obtain provisional
registration.
8. Mr. V.K. Sidhique, the counsel appearing for
the petitioners in W.P.(C) No.19383/2025 and connected
cases, pointed out that no additional infrastructure, training or
stipend is provided in return of the internship fee. There is no
corresponding benefit to the internship fee paid. The
Government Order dated 03.04.2025 contradicts the
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Regulations of the NMC and the provisions of the NMC Act
itself. It is the NMC and NMC alone which is empowered to lay
down policies for maintaining quality and standards of medical
education. The NMC has already ordered that no fee should
be charged for doing CRMI. The Government Order dated
03.04.2025 is therefore liable to be set aside.
9. Ms. Farah Jyothi Pradeep, counsel appearing
for the petitioners in W.P.(C) Nos.19454/2025 and 20259/2025,
argued that the GO dated 03.04.2025 clearly offends Article 14
of the Constitution of India as there is no intelligible differentia
in doing internship in Government Medical Colleges and
Private Medical Colleges. Levy of any fee pre-supposes quid
pro quo. There is no quid pro quo in the matter of internship
being done by Foreign Medical Graduates. Not even library
facility is provided by the Government to them. The Foreign
Medical Graduates are working in frontline, in Hospitals. They
are being denied even stipend. Levy of internship fee is
exploitation of students. Internship fee imposed on Foreign
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Medical Graduates amounts to taxation which has no sanction
of law. The levy is contrary to the policy decision and orders of
NMC. The petitioners have a legitimate expectation to do
CRMI without paying any internship fee and also to receive due
stipend.
10. Sri. P.G. Pramod, Special Government
Pleader representing the State of Kerala, resisted the writ
petitions forcefully. The State derives power to prescribe
stipend and internship fee for Indian and Foreign Medical
Graduates, from Entry 25, List III of the Seventh Schedule to
the Constitution of India. The powers of the NMC are as
confined in Section 10 of the National Medical Commission Act,
2019. The Act gives power to the NMC to prescribe policy
guidelines. The NMC cannot restrain the State Governments
from levying a fee for internship from Indian or Foreign Medical
Graduates.
11. The Government issued GO dated 16.10.2020
prescribing ₹10,000/- as internship fee for FMGs. The GO was
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
issued on the basis of a decision taken in the meeting held
under the Chairmanship of Minister for Health, on 03.03.2020.
Consequently, internship fee was fixed as ₹10,000/- for FMGs.
The internship fee for students of Self Financing Colleges was
fixed as ₹5,000/- per month. W.P.(C) Nos.23663/2020 and
24610/2020 were filed contending that the differential treatment
is discriminatory.
12. This Court disposed of the writ petitions
directing the State Government to reconsider the fixation of fee
for internship taking note of the Circulars of the NMC. The
Government decided to levy internship fee from FMGs. By
Circulars dated 04.03.2022 and 19.05.2022, the NMC had
clarified that no amount/fees can be charged by the Medical
Colleges from FMGs for permitting them to do their internship.
Subsequently, as per letter dated 19.10.2022, the NMC clarified
that the Circulars dated 04.03.2022 and 19.05.2022 issuing
guidelines/instructions/advisory regarding payment of stipend,
are solely at the discretion of the concerned State authorities.
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
13. Seats in Government Medical Colleges are
limited. In order to complete the internship without delay, the
Government have provided opportunity to FMGs to complete
internship at District/General Hospitals in the State. Since the
District/General Hospitals are not full fledged teaching
institutions, additional infrastructure, library, manpower, security
facilities, etc. are to be arranged for training the interns. The
State bears huge amount of money to maintain a Hospital
capable of being training centre for CRMI. During the
internship period, the FMGs are availing onhand training in an
excellent manner under competent and qualified Doctors. The
fee charged from FMGs is not excessive. However, in view of
the directions of the Division Bench of this Court, Government
decided to refix the fee charged on FMGs for internship in
District/General Hospitals at par with the fee charged to IMGs.
Accordingly, the internship fee of FMGs was reduced from
₹10,000/- per month to ₹5,000/- per month. The nominal fee of
₹5,000/- is not excessive or on the higher side, urged the
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Special Government Pleader.
14. Sri. Prenjith Kumar, Standing Counsel for
NMC, entered appearance and submitted that the power to
regulate UG and PG Medical Education and internships
mandated for the medical courses, is with the NMC. The NMC
has taken a policy decision and has ordered that no internship
fee shall be collected from students undergoing CRMI. The
discretion left to the State authorities is confined to the amount
and payment of stipend, payable to the IMGs and FMGs.
15. I have heard the learned counsel representing
the petitioners, the learned Special Government Pleader
representing the State of Kerala, the learned Standing Counsel
appearing for the NMC and the learned Standing Counsel
appearing for the Kerala State Medical Council.
16. The legal issue posed for decision is whether
the State Government is justified in demanding internship fee
for undergoing medical internship regulated by the National
Medical Commission (Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship)
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Regulations, 2021. There is no legislation, Central or State,
governing internships in India. Internship is akin to
apprenticeship.
17. Internships and apprenticeships are valuable
ways to gain work experience and develop skills. While
apprenticeships are typically longer-term, more structured and
focused on developing specific vocational skills often leading to
recognised qualifications, internships are generally shorter-
terms, more focused on gaining overall exposure.
Apprenticeships are mostly specified training program within a
specific field. In India, apprenticeships are governed by the
Apprentices Act, 1961. The Apprentices Act regulates and
controls training of apprentices. Section 13 of the Apprentices
Act, 1961 provides that an employer shall pay to every
apprentice during the period of apprenticeship training such
stipend at a rate not less than the prescribed minimum rate to
the category of apprentices under which such apprentices fall.
The Act, 1961 also contemplates entering into contracts of
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
apprenticeship. There is no comparable independent
legislation governing internships.
18. In the field of medical education, however, the
NMC, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 67 read
with Section 24(1) of the NMC Act, 2019, has made National
Medical Commission (Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship)
Regulations, 2021. The Regulation is silent on the issue of levy
of fees on medical interns.
19. While considering the issue of levy of fees
from medical interns, it is necessary to understand the context
under which the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 was
enacted. The Union of India felt that medical education is at
the core of access to quality healthcare in the country and a
flexible and well functioning legislative framework underlying
medical education is essential for the well being of a nation. It
was felt that the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, which was
enacted to provide a foundation for the growth of Medical
Education, has not kept pace with time. The Department-
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and
Family Welfare in its 92 nd report has offered a critical
assessment of medical education in India. The Standing
Committee recommended for a decisive and exemplary action
to restructure and revamp the regulatory system of medical
education and medical practice and to reform the Medical
Council of India in accordance with the regulatory structure
suggested by the Group of Experts chaired by Dr. Renjith Roy
Chowdary which was constituted by the Central Government.
20. In paragraph 5.36 of the 92nd report of the
Committee, the Committee observed that though the
constitutionally designated fee rgulation committees of the
respective State Governments fixes the fee to be charged by
Private Medical Colleges, yet the yearly tuition fee and other
expenses that have to be paid by a student through a year
duration, work out in the range of ₹12-13 laks or even more
which is certainly exorbitant and beyond the paying capacity of
poor but meritorious students and the same, therefore, needs
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
to be rationalised. As of now, the Union Health Ministry does
not play any role in fixation of the tuition fee. The Committee
was of the opinion that since the Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare plays a critical role in supporting the regulation of
medical education, it should be enabled to play a role in
regulating fee structure in Private Medical Colleges so that the
right quantum of tuition fees to be charged by Private Medical
Colleges is ensured and there is uniformity in fees across the
country amongst the public and private sector Medical Colleges
/ Institutions. The observations of the Committee would
indicate that the Central Government was concerned about the
higher rates of fees levied in the medical education sector. It is
considering the report of the Department-Related Parliamentary
Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare also that
the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 was enacted.
21. The preamble to the Act, 2019 would indicate
that the Act is intended to provide "affordable" medical
education and to ensure availability of adequate and highly
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
qualified medical professionals in all parts of the country in
order to promote equitable and universal healthcare that
encourages community health perspective and makes services
of medical professionals accessible to all the citizens. Any fee
prescribed by the State Governments, Universities and Medical
Colleges including tuition fees and internship fees would
therefore have an impact on access to quality and affordable
medical education which is the purpose for which the National
Medical Commission Act, 2019 has been enacted.
22. Coming to the statutory provisions and powers
of the stakeholders, Section 10 of the Act, 2019 lays down the
powers and functions of the NMC. Section 10 of the Act, 2019
reads as follows:
10. Powers and functions of Commission--
(1) The Commission shall perform the following
functions, namely:--
(a) lay down policies for maintaining a high
quality and high standards in medical education and
make necessary regulations in this behalf;
(b) lay down policies for regulating medical
institutions, medical researches and medical
professionals and make necessary regulations in this
behalf;
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
(c) assess the requirements in healthcare,
including human resources for health and healthcare
infrastructure and develop a road map for meeting
such requirements;
(d) promote, co-ordinate and frame
guidelines and lay down policies by making necessary
regulations for the proper functioning of the
Commission, the Autonomous Boards and the State
Medical Councils;
(e) ensure co-ordination among the
Autonomous Boards;
(f) take such measures, as may be
necessary, to ensure compliance by the State Medical
Councils of the guidelines framed and regulations
made under this Act for their effective functioning
under this Act;
(g) exercise appellate jurisdiction with
respect to the decisions of the Autonomous Boards;
(h) lay down policies and codes to ensure
observance of professional ethics in medical
profession and to promote ethical conduct during the
provision of care by medical practitioners;
(i) frame guidelines for determination of fees
and all other charges in respect of fifty per cent. of
seats in private medical institutions and deemed to be
universities which are governed under the provisions of
this Act;
(j) exercise such other powers and perform
such other functions as may be prescribed.
(2) All orders and decisions of the Commission shall
be authenticated by the signature of the Secretary.
(3) The Commission may delegate such of its powers
of administrative and financial matters, as it deems fit,
to the Secretary.
(4) The Commission may constitute sub-committees
and delegate such of its powers to such sub-
committees as may be necessary to enable them to
accomplish specific tasks.
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
23. The National Medical Commission therefore
has the power to lay down policies for maintaining a high quality
and high standards in medical education and make necessary
regulations in this behalf. Sub-section (i) of Section 10(1)
empowers the NMC to frame guidelines for determination of
fees and all other charges in respect of 50% of seats in private
medical institutions and deemed to be Universities which are
governed under the provisions of the Act. Section 10(1)(b)
empowers the Commission to lay down policies for regulating
medical institutions, medical researches and medical
professionals and make necessary regulations in this behalf.
When the NMC frames regulations and guidelines in exercise
of the powers under Section 10 of the Act, 2019, such
regulations and guidelines would indeed have a statutory
flavour, which cannot be ignored or departed from by the State,
Universities or Medical Institutions.
24. On the subject of internship, the NMC has
issued Circular No.U.15024/01/2022-UGMEB dated
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
19.05.2022. The Circular comes with the subject "illegal charge
of internship fee and non-payment of stipend to interns".
Taking note of the requirement of Doctors in India including
those who have completed their medical education abroad, the
NMC ordered that Medical Colleges or Institutions may allow up
to 7.5% of their permitted quota of interns to accommodate
internship by Foreign Medical Graduates. The Circular dated
19.05.2022 pointed out that the NMC as per Circular dated
04.03.2022, had clarified that no amount/fee is charged by the
Medical Colleges from FMGs for permitting them to do their
internship. The stipend and other facilities to FMGs should be
extended equivalent to India Medical Graduates being trained
at Government Medical Colleges as fixed by the appropriate
authority applicable to the Institution/University or State.
25. The Circular dated 19.05.2022 directed all
State Medical Councils and Directorates of Medical Education
to ensure that no internship fee is charged by the Medical
Colleges / Institutes from the interns, Indian and Foreign
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
Medical Graduates, and stipend including other facilities is
being provided to FMGs as equivalent to Indian Medical
Graduates in the States/UTs.
26. The NMC received a number of
representations/queries from various stakeholders seeking
clarifications on different issues regarding mode and method of
conducting medical internship for Foreign Medical Graduates in
India. On the question of payment of stipend to FMGs,
considering the requests/representations from various State
Governments / UTs / Medical Colleges wherein it was intimated
that there has been no budgetary provision in their allocation of
annual budget to provide stipend to Foreign Medical
Graduates, the NMC clarified that the amount of stipend to be
paid to the interns is to be decided/fixed by the appropriate
authority applicable to the Institution/University or State. The
implementation of these guidelines / instructions/advisory is
solely at the discretion of the concerned State authorities under
which the Medical College / Institute is located.
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
27. The Special Government Pleader would urge
that by Circular dated 09.05.2023, the NMC has given
discretion to the Institutions/Universities or States in the matter
of not only the stipend payable to FMGs but also the internship
fees that can be levied from them. This Court cannot agree to
that proposition for the reason that in the Circular dated
09.05.2023, the clarification giving discretion to the State is
coming under the head "payment of stipend to FMGs". The
Circular dated 09.05.2023 does not specifically give discretion
to the States to levy internship fee.
28. The NMC thereafter issued a Circular with E
File No.U-15024/44/2022-UGMEB dated 19.10.2022 again
giving clarification on the references received from State
Medical Councils regarding CRMI of FMGs. Paragraph 5 of the
said Circular dated 19.10.2022 reads as follows:
5. Further, vide Circulars dated 04.03.2022 and
19.05.2022, NMC has also issued
guidelines/instruction/advisory to all the concerned
authorities regarding payment of stipend to all interns
for their consideration and compliance. However, the
amount of stipend to be paid to the interns is to be
decided/fixed by the appropriate authority applicable to
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
the institution/University or State. The implementation
of these guidelines/instruction/advisory is solely at the
discretion of the concerned State authorities under
which the Medical College / Institute is located.
A reading of Circular dated 19.10.2022 would make it clear that
the discretion granted by the NMC to the State authorities is
confined to payment of stipend to the FMGs.
29. A Division Bench of this Court also considered
the matter in W.P.(C) No.23663/2021 and connected cases.
This Court observed that it is clear from the Circular issued by
the NMC that the policy of the Commission is that no fee shall
be charged from the Foreign Medical Graduates for permitting
them to do the internship, by the Medical Colleges. The
Division Bench was of the view that the State Government shall
take note of the Circular dated 04.03.2022 issued by the NMC
and take a fresh decision in the matter of charging fee for
internship from Foreign Medical Graduates as the same reflects
the policy of the apex body in the field of medical education.
30. It is when the levy of internship fee in any
manner is prohibited by the NMC and when a Division Bench of
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
this Court has made it clear that a decision shall be taken by
the State Government taking note of the Circular dated
04.03.2022 issued by the NMC that the Government of Kerala
has come up with GO(Rt) No.987/2025/H&FWD dated
03.04.2025. The GO dated 03.04.2025 took a stand that the
NMC had clarified that the Circulars dated 04.03.2022 and
19.05.2022, issuing guidelines/ instructions / advisory to all
concerned authorities regarding payment of stipend are solely
at the discretion of the concerned State authorities under which
the Medical College / Institute is located.
31. In GO dated 03.04.2025, the Government
stated that Government Medical Colleges do not charge any
fee for internship from any student whether they are FMGs or
not. The seats available in Medical Colleges are limited. The
FMGs are therefore provided opportunity to complete internship
at District/General Hospitals. Since the District/General
Hospitals are not full fledged teaching institutions, additional
infrastructure, library, manpower, security facilities, etc. need to
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
be arranged for training the FMGs interns. On these premises,
the Government reduced the internship fees charged to the
FMGs from ₹10,000/- to ₹5,000/- per month at par with Indian
Medical Students. It has been ordered that the FMGs have to
remit ₹60,000/- as fee for the whole year, even though they
practised for few months only. As the NMC Circular dated
19.05.2022 unequivocally prohibits levy of internship fee and
describes the levy of any internship fee as illegal, the GO dated
03.04.2025 is legally unsustainable.
32. There is a further reason to hold against levy
of any fee from the interns. The interns are deployed to the
Medical Colleges / Government Hospitals to discharge the
duties of Doctors. They are so deployed only after obtaining
Certificate of Provisional Registration from the State Medical
Council. The Certificate of provisional registration makes it
clear that the Certificate is valid only for employment in a
resident medical capacity in any approved institution or in the
medical service of the armed forces of the Union as mentioned
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
in Section 25 of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 as
amended.
33. From the Provisional Registration granted by
the State Medical Councils, it is evident that medical graduates
who obtained provisional registration and deployed as interns
would be working in a resident medical capacity and such
engagement amounts to employment. The interns are not
deployed to Medical Colleges / General Hospitals for training
simplicitor. The medical interns are getting experience as
Doctors while working in a resident medical capacity. Such
interns are often deployed to examine the patients, prescribe
medicines and may even be directed to conduct minor surgical
procedures. The Medical Colleges / General Hospitals are
therefore getting benefits of their service, which is in the nature
of employment.
34. The NMC Act, 2019 has been enacted to
provide for a medical education system that improves access to
quality and medical education affordable to the citizens. When
2025:KER:38557
W.P.(C) No.19369/2025 & Connected cases
the NMC Act, 2019 mandates payment of stipend to medical
interns for their service, the State will not be justified in levying
internship fee from the Medical Graduates. The GO(Rt)
No.987/2025/H&FWD dated 03.04.2025 issued by the
Additional Secretary, Government of Kerala, Health and Family
Welfare (S) Department is therefore illegal and ultravires.
Consequently, the GO dated 03.04.2025 is set aside. The
issue of payment of stipend to the FMGs is left open.
The writ petitions are disposed of as above.
