Releasing the Draft amendment to the National Medical Commission (Recognition of Medical Qualification) Regulations, 2023, the Apex Medical Commission has proposed removing the existing Rs 2.5 lakh application fee for the recognition of a doctor's medical qualification.

In the official Gazette dated 16.07.2025, NMC released the draft regulations to further amend "National Medical Commission (Recognition of Medical Qualification) Regulations, 2023". The Commission mentioned that these regulations, titled "National Medical Commission (Recognition of Medical Qualification) Regulations (Amendment), 2025", shall come into force from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.

These regulations include a comprehensive list of recognised medical qualifications in India, and they also specify the procedure for the inclusion of new medical qualifications and the issue of withdrawal of recognition of a qualification.
