Chandigarh, Sep 15 (PTI) In a bid to encourage government doctors to work in rural areas, the Punjab government today revised the eligibility guidelines for admission in state-run medical colleges to pursue post graduation. According to the policy, 60 per cent PG seats will be reserved for Punjab Civil Medical Services (PCMS) doctors who have completed three years of rural service. Every year's additional service beyond three years would fetch one extra mark, a spokesman said. The revised guidelines would be implemented with effect from November 1, 2010. Rural service for this purpose means service at health institutions situated beyond 15 km of the notified municipal areas. The 15-km limit has been fixed for all the municipal towns irrespective of their size and the category of municipal committee, the spokesman said.

http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19980601/15251314.html
PATIALA, May 31: The PCMS doctors, engineers, civil and police service officers have been given three time-scale promotions after 4, 9 and 14 years of regular service by the Punjab government while implementing the recommendations of the 4th Punjab pay commission headed by Justice S.S. Sandhawalia.
Stating this, Dr M.S. Randhawa, Dr D.S. Gill and Dr Manjit Singh, patron, president and general secretary of PCMS association respectively, in a joint statement here today, said that as per the notification issued by Punjab Finance department on May 19, PCMS doctors have been given the initial scale of Rs 7,880-13,500 with a start of Rs 8,000, a scale of Rs 10,025-15,100 after four years, Rs 12,000-15,500 after nine years and 14,300-18,150 after 14 years of regular service.
In another notification issued by Principal Secretary Health, Rajesh Chhabra on the advice of the Finance Department, doctors have been given given non-practising allowance at the rate of 25 per cent of basic pay which will be treated as pay for the purpose of grant of dearness allowance, TA/DA, as well as for calculations of retirement benefits.While hailing the decision, the PCMS association said that with this, the Punjab government has undone the "injustice" being done to Punjab doctors for the past 10 years.
PCMS doctors had remained on strike for 95 days in 1989 to seek parity in time-scale promotions and allowances with central government doctors.
