19 July 2013 In Maharashtra MD doctors get stipend during their internship which is fully exempt. However, they have to work for one year as per bond in institutions like ESIS, etc. after completion of course

This is to be treated as salary or stipend since internship period is over but degree is dependant on completion of one year compulsory posting.

last line of article states mbbs students who have to work compulsorily will get stipend. Is it salary or stipend in such cases

20 July 2013 It is stipend only since there is no employer and employee relation during that relevant period.
