Candidates should understand the difference between a service bond and a discontinuation bond before taking admission through NEET PG counselling. A service bond and a discontinuation bond are separate obligations. A college may impose a discontinuation penalty even when there is no compulsory post-course service bond. Candidates should therefore check both requirements before accepting an allotted seat. A detailed difference between the service bond and a discontinuation bond can be checked from the below table.
Particulars | Service bond | Discontinuation bond |
Meaning | Requires the candidate to complete a specified period of service after training. | Imposes a financial liability if the candidate leaves the course or vacates the seat under specified circumstances. |
When applicable | Generally after completion of the postgraduate course. | Generally when a candidate discontinues the course or leaves a seat in violation of applicable rules. |
Main requirement | Compulsory service or payment of the prescribed penalty for non-compliance. | Payment of the applicable discontinuation or seat-leaving penalty. |
Amount | Depends on the applicable state or institution policy. | Depends on the admission rules, course, quota and timing of discontinuation. |
