2. TNMC CREDIT HOURS FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
1) Who all need to get credit hours ?
All practitioners less than 65 years
need 30 credit hours for 5 years slab.
65 – 70 years need 15 credit hours
Greater than 70 years – No need credit hours
(but need to obtain credit hrs for the tenure
less than 70 yrs on pro rate basis)
3. 2) In which slab we are right now ?
We are in 3rd slab of credit hours
accumulation (July 1st 2022 – May 31st 2027).
1st slab period – (July 1st 2012 – May 31st
2017).
2nd slab period - (July 1st 2017 – May 31st
2022).
3rd slab period - ( July 1st 2022 – May 31st
2027 ).
4. 3) How to compensate for 1st and 2nd slab
period credit hours requirement ?
1st slab period – most of
us were not aware of credit hours and unable
to fulfill the criteria.
TNMC gave an option of paying penalty for
deficit credit hours and nullify the minus credit
hours.
For those who have not done this deficit credit
hours have been carry forwarded to 2nd slab
period. Hence total requirement will be 30 +
30 = 60 hrs.
5. 4) What if 2nd slab credit hours
requirements are fulfilled but still
deficit due to lack of credit hours in 1st
slab period ?
If Cumulative credit hours are < 60
hours but > 30 hrs we are relatively safe.
There is no option for paying penalty for
deficit in 1st year slab period (similar to an
option given 5 years back).
6. 5) What will happen if credit hours criteria
is not fulfilled?
At one point of time we may not
be able to revalidate our TNMC
registration which have to be done once
in 5 years (The next revalidation date
falls on July 2025).
(There is a possibility to suspend
practice for 1 month in the current NMC
draft).

the accreditation certificate for the
program also indicating the number of
