Frequently Asked Questions

Is an online recovery certificate legally valid for returning to work in India?

Yes. Recovery and fit-to-resume 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 authorise NMC-registered MBBS and MD doctors to assess a patient's recovery status remotely and issue fitness-to-resume certificates after a telemedicine consultation. Our certificates carry the issuing doctor's full name, NMC registration number, qualification, digital signature, clinic letterhead, and clearly state the recommended date of resumption — making them legally equivalent to certificates issued in-person at a clinic.
