ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND 
FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI FAGGAN SINGH KULASTE)

(a) to (d): Government has not put any mandatory condition on Medical Institutes to generate 30% of the additional financial impact incurred on implementing the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC). Most Medical Institutes have expressed inability to meet 30% of the additional financial impact. Therefore, the Ministry has submitted 13 proposals so far to Ministry of Finance for relaxation in the condition to bear 30% of additional financial impact.
