I have heard that medicals expire within 1 year. My question is how this period is calculated ?
a ) 1 year from the date the medical notice is issued ? b ) 1 year from the date primary applicant finishes medicals ? c ) 1 year from the date the whole family finishes medicals ?

Each family member covered under an application can have separate medical expiry dates.
Therefore, none of the options above is correct.
The correct expiry date is 1 year from the date medicals are performed by the Dr. for each member.
If everyone completes their medicals together, then everyone will have the same expiry date.
Note that the time taken by the Dr. to complete the report, mail it to CHC and the time CHC takes to evaluate the results are not considered.

My family was examined by designated doctor in aug 2008 , but later on me and my wife were referred to specialists till nov. 2008 and we completed the last referral tto a specialist in nov. 2008. We cleared the medicals and were asked to submit the passports by 30th may 2009. At this point very unfortunately my passport was misplaced/lost .I personally went to cic office and told them ,they were very helpful and sympathetic and assured me not to worry. I was told if I find my passport by 9th of aug.2009 my medicals will be valid.If I am not able to find then me and my wife & kids will have to undergo medicals again. Fortunately/unfortunately I could trace my passport and found it only on 12th aug. 2009.
This is the reason I am asking how come the medicals are valid only till 9th aug. and not nov. end when all the reports were completed /sent to cic.Pratickm bhai do you think I should go and talk to them or there is no point and I should undergo medicals again. I will appreciate to hear from you your opinion. Thanks in advance.
