What is the last date for sending comments, suggestions and objections on the draft provisional registration regulations?
- A.4 December 2026
- B.30 November 2026
- C.11 December 2026
- D.1 January 2027
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 4 December 2026. Comments, suggestions and objections on the draft have been invited from allied and healthcare professionals, their associations, educational institutions, the State Allied and Healthcare Councils, healthcare institutions, subject experts and the general public, and all of it must reach the commission by that date; the inputs will then be weighed before the regulations are finalised. Option B gives the end of November, which is earlier than the window actually allowed and is not the date fixed. Option C moves the deadline a week further and would wrongly stretch the consultation period. Option D pushes it into the next calendar year, which does not match the notice at all. The draft was placed before the public on 11 November 2026, so the consultation runs for a little over three weeks, and the draft is hosted on the commission's own website for anyone who wishes to read it before responding.
