Lucknow: The doctors working at the ESI hospitals across the state of Uttar Pradesh now have a reason to rejoice as the state cabinet has announced to provide them with Non-Practising Allowance (NPA) at par with the doctors of the Provincial Health and Medical Services (PHMS) cadre working under the health directorate including department of health and family welfare and medical education.
The decision to this effect was taken by the Yogi led cabinet on December 31st 2019. It is expected that this decision will benefit over 200 doctors working in ESI hospitals across the state.
The NPA is a special kind of allowance paid to the medical professionals at the posts of Medical and Veterinary Services. It is given to the doctors employed by the central government and few state governments. It is a percentage based allowance and under the seventh pay commission, the NPA is paid at the rate of 20 per cent of the basic payment.
As per the recent state cabinet decision, the NPA has been allowed on the condition that the addition of both-- the basic salary and the NPA allowance does not exceed Rs 2,37,502 per month paid to the concerned doctors.
