Promised Rs 75,000 stipend reduced to Rs 60,000: Karnataka medical officers slam Govt - Video

A set of notifications from the Karnataka Department of Health and Family Welfare has gained strong criticism and backlash from the medical community after the government allegedly reduced the promised stipend for MBBS doctors serving their one-year compulsory rural service two months after assigning them.

The controversy erupted online after the Commissionerate of Health and Family Welfare Services issued two notifications in August 2025, stating that doctors appointed under the National Health Mission (NHM) would receive a monthly remuneration of Rs 75,000, while those under the Health and Family Welfare Services (HFWS) would get Rs 62,666. Doctors working under the Medical Education Department were to be paid Rs 50,000 per month.
