For district staff, teachers, bank and shop workers in the old princely town and its subdivisions.

A certificate the doctor approves is sent to you online.
Simple requests from Cooch Behar are often reviewed in about 40 minutes, network permitting.
District Offices and Government Staff
West Bengal government employees and teachers follow their department's leave rules, which may need a government doctor's certificate for longer leave. Check with your office before applying.
Bhawaniganj Bazar and Shops
Traders and shop staff in Bhawaniganj Bazar and the town's markets work long days, especially before Durga Puja and the Rash Mela. Most owners accept the PDF on WhatsApp.
Tobacco and Jute Farms
Tobacco and jute are major crops in the district. Handling wet tobacco leaves can cause nausea and dizziness, and jute retting in stagnant water brings skin infections. Symptoms that don't settle need an in-person check.
Banks and Private Schools
Bank branches and private schools usually want a short note for anything over a day. Ask your manager or principal what they accept.
Keep It Short
Write when you fell ill, your main symptoms, any fever readings, what you've taken and the dates you need. That's enough to begin.
Monsoon Fevers
Cooch Behar's long monsoon brings floods, malaria and stomach infections. A fever with chills needs a malaria test in person first.
A Bank Clerk's Request
A clerk at a Cooch Behar bank branch gets a fever with chills in July. After a malaria test and treatment, the manager wants a certificate for four days. They apply and upload the report. Once the doctor has reviewed it, a certificate is issued for the days the illness justifies.

When a Request Doesn't Go Through
If the details don't support leave, the doctor won't sign and will explain. The district hospital or a local clinic can see you in person.

Leave for Looking After Someone
If you need leave because a family member is admitted at the medical college in Cooch Behar or in Siliguri, rather than being ill yourself, ask for a caretaker certificate instead of sick leave.
Getting Back to Work
After malaria or a long fever, you can feel weak for a while. If your office wants a fitness note before you return, mention it when you apply.
Workers Home From the South
If you work in Kerala, Bengaluru or Chennai and fall ill while home, apply before your leave ends and message your employer straight away.
