Frequently Asked Questions

Is a medical certificate for sick leave issued online legally valid in India?

Yes. Online sick leave medical certificates issued through telemedicine are legally valid under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020, notified in the Gazette of India (GSR 225(E)) on 25 March 2020. These guidelines specifically authorise NMC-registered MBBS and MD doctors to issue medical certificates including sick leave certificates after a remote consultation, without requiring physical examination for conditions assessable online such as fever, cold, cough, viral infections, migraine, and gastrointestinal illness. Our certificates carry the issuing doctor's full name, NMC registration number, qualification, digital signature, and clinic letterhead — making them legally equivalent to certificates issued in-person at a clinic. Employers, schools, colleges, banks, and government offices across all 28 states and 8 union territories accept telemedicine-issued sick leave certificates. The NMC registration number printed on every certificate is independently verifiable at nmc.org.in.

Will my employer or company HR accept an online sick leave certificate?

Yes. Employers including IT companies (Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Amazon), MNCs, PSUs (ONGC, BHEL, NTPC, SAIL, Coal India), Central Government departments, State Government offices, banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, PNB), schools, and colleges accept our sick leave certificates. The acceptance rate across our 50,000+ issued certificates exceeds 99.2%. Each certificate includes the doctor's NMC registration number which employers can independently verify at nmc.org.in. Central and State Government employees under CCS Leave Rules can use our certificates as these comply with the requirement for a certificate from a registered medical practitioner. Our certificates include the issuing doctor's full name, MBBS/MD qualification, NMC registration number, digital signature, consultation date, diagnosis, and recommended leave duration on official clinic letterhead.

What symptoms qualify for a medical certificate for sick leave?

Sick leave certificates can be issued online for a wide range of common and self-limiting conditions that are assessable through telemedicine consultation without physical examination. These include fever (viral fever, dengue fever, typhoid), upper respiratory tract infections (cold, cough, sore throat, sinusitis), gastrointestinal illness (diarrhoea, vomiting, food poisoning, gastroenteritis), migraine and severe headache, body pain and fatigue, eye infections (conjunctivitis), urinary tract infections (UTI), skin conditions (rashes, allergic reactions), menstrual disorders, and post-viral weakness or recovery. Under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020, NMC-registered doctors can assess these conditions remotely based on symptom history, duration, and patient-reported severity. For conditions requiring physical examination (fractures, chest pain, emergency conditions), an in-person visit is recommended. Our doctors advise accordingly during the online consultation.

How many days of sick leave can I get from an online certificate?

Online sick leave certificates from Easy Medical Certificate can be issued for 1 to 7 days per consultation, consistent with telemedicine best practices and MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020. The number of leave days recommended is determined entirely by the issuing doctor based on the nature of the illness, symptom severity, and patient-reported recovery timeline during the online consultation. For self-limiting conditions like viral fever, cold, and gastroenteritis, doctors typically recommend 2–5 days. For more debilitating conditions, up to 7 days may be recommended. If you require more than 7 days of sick leave, the doctor may recommend a follow-up consultation or an in-person visit to a specialist. The certificate clearly states the recommended leave dates and the doctor's clinical reasoning. All recommendations follow standard medical practice guidelines and are at the sole discretion of the NMC-registered doctor.
