National Medical Commission
New Delhi: Amidst the pressure on the National Medical Commission (NMC) to declare the assets and liabilities of the Chairperson and the members, the Union Minister of State for Health, Dr. Bharati Pravin Pawar on Tuesday informed the Rajya Sabha that the Chairperson and members have submitted the prescribed declaration.
It is mandatory for the Chairperson and every member of NMC to declare their assets and liabilities at the time of entering the office and at the time of emitting it. According to Section 6(6) of the NMC Act 2019, "The Chairperson and every member of the Commission shall make declaration of his assets and his liabilities at the time of entering upon his office and at the time of demitting his office and also declare his professional and commercial engagement or involvement in such form and manner as may be prescribed, and such declaration shall be published on the website of the Commission."
The matter was raised in the Parliament by Rajya Sabha member Shri A.D.Singh who sought to know from the MoS Health if under the NMC Act, the Chairperson and every member of the Commission has to declare their assets and liabilities while taking charge and demitting office.
Further, he asked if the concerned provisions are followed by NMC and he also sought the details and assets and liabilities of the Chairperson and the Members of the Commission.
