Government MBBS seats come at subsidised fees — but most states attach a service bond requiring rural posting or a hefty penalty payment.
Typical Bond Terms
Bond duration ranges from 1 to 5 years depending on state. Penalties span ₹5L to ₹50L+ if you leave without serving. Read the exact bond deed before accepting the seat.
PG and Bond Interaction
Some states extend bond if you pursue PG on a government seat; others treat PG as separate. NEET PG aspirants must factor bond lock-in into branch and college choice.
Exemptions and Waivers
War widows, certain disability categories, or central pool seats may have reduced bonds. Always verify current government orders — bond rules change with policy updates.
