Chhattisgarh Medical Council registration guide Types, documents, fees and the new Nava Raipur office, as the CGMC publishes them.

To register with the Chhattisgarh Medical Council (CGMC), download the form for your registration type from cgmedicalcouncil.org, and submit it with the listed documents "in original with its photocopy attested" and the prescribed fee. For an MBBS graduate converting provisional registration to permanent, the fee is ₹3,300 including the application form, and the fee page notes that "18% GST Charges Will be Applicable on All Types of Registration Fees".

Who registers with the Chhattisgarh Medical Council?

Doctors of modern medicine practising in Chhattisgarh. Every page of the council's site describes it as "Estd. on 26-02-2001 U/s 3 of The Chhattisgarh Ayurvigyan Parishad Adhiniyam 1987, CG Govt. Adaptation Order 2001". The Acts page reproduces the Madhya Pradesh Ayurvigyan Parishad Adhiniyam, 1987, which Chhattisgarh adapted after the state was formed.

For doctors already registered elsewhere, a CGMC notification dated 27 May 2026 (No. 242) says that "allopathy medical graduate (MBBS/MD/MS/DNB/DM/MCH) registered in other states shall be permitted to practice the medical profession in the State of Chhattisgarh, on the basis of self-certification/Self-attestation subject to verification, apart from present registration procedures followed in CGMC." It adds that detailed guidelines will be issued separately. Until they are, the reciprocal registration route below is the published process.

What registration types and fees does the CGMC list?

Late fees apply from the month you passed the final exam or, for permanent registration, completed internship: nil up to three months, ₹500 up to six months, ₹1,000 up to 12, ₹1,500 up to 24, ₹4,000 up to 48 and ₹7,000 up to 60 months, then ₹500 for each further year up to a maximum of ₹10,000. For a good standing certificate the council asks for two bank drafts: ₹2,360 (₹2,000 plus GST) to the Secretary, National Medical Commission, and ₹2,950 (₹2,500 plus GST) to the Registrar, CGMC, as forwarding fee.

On payment, the fee page links an SBI Collect online payment, while the text at its foot still says the fee "will be accepted only through a crossed Bank Draft of State Bank of India / Nationalized Bank" in favour of the Registrar. Confirm with the office which it takes before you go.

What documents does CGMC permanent registration need?

The permanent registration page asks for these documents in original with attested photocopies:

1. High school and higher secondary mark sheet and certificate, as proof of date of birth
2. Aadhaar card and caste certificate
3. All MBBS mark sheets and the passing attempt certificate
4. Internship completion certificate from the dean of the medical college
5. Original provisional registration certificate
6. MBBS degree or provisional degree
7. Three recent passport-size photographs on matt paper, fresh and not attested, plus one photo on the form attested by the dean
8. Bond copy from the college student section, and photocopies of all bond documents

Reciprocal registration, for doctors moving from another state, needs the original permanent registration certificate of the parent state council along with the same school, MBBS and internship papers, and any PG degree with its mark sheets. Our list of documents required to open a clinic covers the paperwork beyond the council.

Does Chhattisgarh require renewal and CME credits?

The CGMC website lists no renewal service and no renewal fee (read 31 Oct 2026). It publishes "Rules For Continuing Medical Education (CME)" and a CME application form on its Download page, and the fee chart has a "Fee for CME" of ₹5,000; the rules PDF did not render as readable text, so we have not stated any credit-hour requirement. Read the rules on the council site, and see our guide to medical council registration renewal and CME credits.

How do I verify a doctor's Chhattisgarh registration?

Use "Search Doctor" on cgmedicalcouncil.org (search-doctor-advance.php), which searches by doctor name, registration number or qualification and returns registration number, date, name, gender, qualification and address. For a national check, the Indian Medical Register search on the NMC website covers doctors registered with state councils, with the note "This data is being updated." See also the National Medical Register.

The council moved in May 2026 to Room No. 102, ground floor of the Institute of Epidemiology, Pt. Deendayal Upadhyay Memorial Health Sciences and Ayush University of Chhattisgarh, Sector 40, Uparwara, Atal Nagar, Nava Raipur 493661.

Where must the registration number appear?

On prescriptions, certificates, money receipts and in the clinic. Clause 1.4.1 of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 reads: "Every physician shall display the registration number accorded to him by the State Medical Council / Medical Council of India in his clinic and in all his prescriptions, certificates, money receipts given to his patients." Clause 1.4.2 limits the suffixes after your name to recognised degrees and qualifying certificates or honours.
