Q: How can I verify the registration number of a practicing doctor? Means, is he really a registered doctor or just practicing under false registration number? I would like to know specially in case of ayurvedic doctors.

A:Medical registration details of all doctors in India in the modern (allopathic) system of medicine are available on the website of the Medical Council of India. It seems that similar details in case of Ayurvedic doctors are not available on the website of the concerned council. However, a simple letter to them (or, a query under the Right to Information Act) would be sufficient to get the information. It is better to file an application under the RTI.
