Bombay HC – Interpretation of NRI / OCI Quota in PG Medial Admission

By the notice No.02 dated 30.10.2025 for NEET-PG 2025, the revised definition of “Non-Resident India” was introduced as per the Maharashtra Ordinance No.VI of 2025.

“NRI” to require that a person who is not ordinarily resident must possess an NRI certificate issued by an Indian Mission or Post abroad, and that the expression “child or ward” must be understood in accordance with the definition of “ward” under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. The State further submits that the said ordinance has since been replaced by an Act, and therefore the amended definition now forms part of the statutory law in force.

The claim of the petitioner rests on her real aunt’s residing in UK and her willingness to sponsor the petitioner.  Such relationship and sponsorship does not render the petitioner as “child” of an NRI and also as “ward” within the meaning of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890.
