Government’s Decision on Stipend Revision

Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) has officially revised the MBBS intern stipend to ₹26,300 per month, effective from January 1, 2020. The order was issued on March 4, 2024, following approval from the Finance Department. This revision aims to provide better financial support to medical interns across central institutions.

Impact on MBBS Interns & Medical Institutions

Stipend hike is a welcome relief for thousands of MBBS interns in government medical colleges. It acknowledges their crucial role in hospitals while easing their financial burden. However, the revision currently applies only to central institutions, raising questions about whether state governments will follow suit.

What’s Next? Future Expectations

With this revision, medical interns expect further updates on stipend structures across state-run institutions. There is growing demand for academic resources and clinical equipment stipend policies nationwide. While this move benefits central institution interns, many are looking forward to similar initiatives in state medical colleges as well.
