What is a caretaker medical certificate?

A caretaker medical certificate (also called a caretaker leave certificate or attendant's certificate) is a document issued by a registered medical practitioner confirming that a family member is ill and requires the applicant's care and attendance. It is used to apply for caretaker leave from an employer, college, or government department.

Is an online caretaker certificate accepted by employers?

Yes. Caretaker medical certificates issued by NMC-registered MBBS/MD doctors via telemedicine are accepted by most private employers, IT companies, MNCs, banks, and government offices under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020. The certificate includes the doctor's NMC registration number, independently verifiable at nmc.org.in.

What information is included in a caretaker certificate?

The caretaker certificate includes: (1) Name and relationship of the sick family member, (2) Nature of illness/condition requiring care, (3) Period of care required (in days), (4) Doctor's name, NMC registration number, MBBS/MD qualification, clinic stamp, and digital signature, (5) Date of issuance. The exact format can be customised as per employer or HR requirements.

How many days of leave can I get with a caretaker certificate?

The number of leave days depends on the nature of the illness and your employer's leave policy. Our doctors typically certify caretaker leave for 2–7 days based on the medical condition described. For serious illnesses requiring extended care, the doctor may certify a longer period. The certificate clearly states the recommended care period.

Who qualifies for a caretaker certificate?

You qualify for a caretaker certificate when a close family member (spouse, parent, child, sibling, in-law) is suffering from an illness, injury, or medical condition that requires your physical presence and personal care. The ill family member must have a genuine medical condition — our doctors verify this through an online consultation.
