Madhya Pradesh hikes stipends for PG, SS medicos, senior residents
The Madhya Pradesh government has approved a stipend hike for postgraduate medical, super-specialty (SS) medicos and senior resident doctors in government medical colleges and hospitals. PG and SS medicos will now receive up to Rs 86,118 per month, while senior residents will get up to Rs 94,853 per month.
The revised rates are applicable retrospectively from 1 April 2026, according to an order issued by the Public Health and Medical Education Department on 28 September 2026. The move covers doctors working in state-run medical institutions across Madhya Pradesh.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The retrospective application to 1 April means doctors will receive arrears for six months, offering immediate financial relief. The hike targets those in government institutions, potentially helping retain specialists in the public system where stipends often lag behind private sector salaries. The order leaves unclear whether the increased rates will be extended to future years or remain fixed for the current fiscal year.
