Gujarat Medical Council

What Gujarat Medical Council does

Gujarat Medical Council (GMC) is a statutory regulatory body established in April 1968 under the Gujarat Medical Council Act, 1967 (Gujarat Act No. 10 of 1968), constituting the state-level registration and disciplinary authority for allopathic medical practitioners in Gujarat, India. Its core function is maintaining the official register of qualified doctors — currently exceeding 50,000 practitioners as of 31-03-2013 — and issuing provisional and permanent registration certificates for MBBS, Post-Graduate, Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG), and CPS qualification holders, alongside Good Standing Certificates, name/address change updates, and duplicate certificate services. The council also administers a CME (Continuing Medical Education) Accreditation programme (effective January 2012, requiring 30 hours/year) and conducts online CRMI (Compulsory Rotatory Medical Internship) counseling and seat allotment for Foreign Medical Graduates.

The technology platform is a web-based online registration portal at gmconline.co.in that enables self-serve account creation, form submission, document upload, fee payment, and appointment scheduling for in-person document verification at the Ahmedabad headquarters. Pricing is structured as a one-time perpetual license model with statutory fees ranging from Rs. 200 (name change, MCI Good Standing Certificate) to Rs. 15,800 (CPS Additional Qualification Permanent Registration), supplemented by late-registration penalties of Rs. 5,000-10,000. Distribution is exclusively self-serve via the portal, with final document verification at the Council House office on the Civil Hospital Campus, Asarwa. The council has no disclosed revenue figures, no parent company, and is wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Gujarat, with a governing body comprising state-nominated members, university representatives, and elected registered practitioners.
