Background & Objective: In view of the ever increasing difference in sex ratio because of rampant feticide, the Government of India enacted, in 1996, the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act. Although the act is primarily meant for practicing obstetricians and radiologists, literature on their perception on the PC & PNDT Act is scant. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methodology: A total of 38 participants were given structured questionnaire to find out their awareness and perception; and explore their viewpoint regarding various aspects of this Act. Result: 58% felt that this Act is not the only tool for improving the skewed gender ratio. 97% expressed that publicity through the media on this issue discourage the doctors in breaking the provisions of the Act. 66% of the participants agreed that the penalties are heavy for contravention of the Act. Conclusion: Participants approved the act but expressed that some issues need to be addressed. Some amendments they wanted in their favour too; probably because it is an easy source of income.

Key words: Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, sex ratio, ultrasonography
