TN yet to recover bond money from docs who ducked govt service in 2 dists
The New Indian Express Villupuram
|September 05, 2025
According to state health department sources, officials are yet to recover the security bond amount from any of the doctors in Tenkasi and Tirunelveli districts, who did not complete the mandatory government service.
Following multiple reports published by TNIE, the department had initiated steps to recover the amount last year.
Through the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, TNIE had obtained a list of around 200 absconding doctors — only a portion of the total — from different medical college hospitals across the state. These doctors (Service PGs) had benefited from the 50% reservation in PG/diploma seats, 30% NEET-PG incentive marks, a hefty monthly salary during their three years of study, and three years of leave, after promising to serve in government institutions through a security bond.
