Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: NMC. The National Medical Commission issued draft medical registration regulations on 11 August 2026, proposing a centrally generated Unique Identification number for registered medical practitioners. The Ethics and Medical Registration Board will centrally generate the Unique Identification number, which will be linked to a doctor’s State Medical Register registration. The proposed “One Nation, One Licence” system will allow doctors with a valid Unique Identification number to practise across India without separate state-level licences. The National Medical Register will serve as the central repository of medical practitioners and record disciplinary actions, professional misconduct and suspensions. Under the draft, practising licences will be valid for 5 years, and a doctor will be marked inactive if renewal is not applied for within 3 months after expiry. The National Medical Commission, established under the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, invited public objections and suggestions on the draft within 30 days.
