Sir, an autonomous public university can refuse Non-Practicing Allowance (NPA) if not specified in employment terms or government policy. Regarding private practice, universities can impose restrictions if the job requires full-time commitment, but the terms must be reasonable and stated clearly in the employment contract. If these policies seem unfair, the doctor can approach a labor court or tribunal for resolution. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
