companies and chemists to periodically pay a

licence retention fee instead of the current

ambiguous practice of renewal of licences

According to the proposal if a company or

chemist does not pay this fee within the due

date the licence would be deemed as

cancelled

The central drug controller believes that once

this provision is incorporated in the Drugs

and Cosmetics Rules 1945 it would be a part

of ldquorationalising the grant of licences for

manufacture or sale of drugsrdquo as the licences of companies and chemists ldquowho are

not carrying on the business for a long time will stand cancelledrdquo

BJP Lok Sabha MP Sakshi Maharaj had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra

Modi on January 30 asking him to ease the process of issuing licences for retail and

wholesale medical stores On March 1 the Prime Ministerrsquos Office forwarded this

letter to the health ministry asking it to take appropriate action On March 17 the

health ministry asked G N Singh Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) mdash who

heads the CDSCO mdash to give ldquorequisite commentsinputsrdquo as soon as possible

On March 30 the office of DCGI responded with a note to the health ministry ldquoThe

Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945 are being amended in consultation with the Drugs

Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) for rationalising the grant of licences for

manufacture or sale of drugs It is proposed to provide that if the licensee fails to

pay the licence retention fee on or before the due date or with late fee up to six

months the licence shall be deemed to have been cancelledrdquo The office of DCGI

further added ldquoOnce the above provision is incorporated the licensees who are not

carrying on the business for a long time will stand cancelledrdquo A licence for

manufacture or for sale of a drug or cosmetic is generally valid for a period of five

years mdash except in the case of ayurvedic drugs unani drugs etc mdash and has to be

renewed thereafter

In his letter to the Prime Minister Sakshi Maharaj stated ldquoAs you know the process

of obtaining a licence for a wholesale or retail medical store is exceedingly difficult

and economically exploitative The officials are taking bribes leading to increase in

corruption Due to this no new licences are being issued People with old licences

have shut down their businesses for various reasons Due to this people are getting

affected Therefore I request you to take adequate steps to simplify the procedure

of obtaining licences and cancel the licences of those who are not doing medical

business for a long timerdquo

While the concept of the lsquolicense retention feersquo is still under contemplation in the

case of drug companies and chemists it has been incorporated in the Medical

Devices Rules 2017 which will come into effect from January 2018 ldquoUnder this

system (of retention fee) all licences are granted in perpetuity unless cancelled by

the regulator subject to payment of a licence retention fee after specified periods

In the case of medical devices a licence retention fee would have to be paid after

every five years from date of issuerdquo said Ashish Prasad partner Economic Laws

According to the Medical Devices Rules 2017 the manufacturing licence retention

fee of four different classes mdash Class A to Class D mdash of medical devices would range

from Rs 100 to Rs 50000 Import licence retention fee of the these four class of

devices would range from $10 to $3000 depending on the subject of licence

According to Prasad having licences issued in perpetuity will reduce much of the

paperwork and time consumed to process renewal applications Nevertheless he

added ldquoIt appears to be a futuristic proposal targeted at removal of systemic road

blocks to doing business in India However this would also call for a vigilant

regulator and periodic inspections to ensure that manufacturing facilities storage

facilities etc are as per conditions of licenceapprovals etc In the present regime

these periodic checks are expected to take place at least once in 5 years when the

licences are renewedrdquo

To promote ease of doing business in the country the CDSCO had on October 6

2016 stated its intention to scrap the policy of periodic licence renewal for

pharmaceutical companies and chemists In India a chemist needs a specific

licence to sell a particular class of drugs For example licence in Form 20 is issued

for the sale of allopathic drugs by retail other than those specified in Schedule C

C(1) and X Similarly licence in Form 20-C is issued for sale of homoeopathic

medicines by retail

As per the Centre once the provision of licence retention fee is incorporated in

drug rules the licences of the companies or persons who are not carrying on the

business for a long time will stand cancelled The central government believes that

it would help in ease of doing business ldquoCancellation of licences in case the licensee

has not been carrying on business will ensure streamlining of the data base of the

regulator as we go forwardrdquo Prasad said

However he added that introduction of system of licence retention fee by itself

might not serve the purpose and will need to be accompanied by rules regarding

reporting of closure of business ldquoThis aspect can only be commented upon once the

amended rules are notifiedrdquo he said

For example in the case of medical devices as per Rule 26(xii) of the Medical

Devices Rules 2017 if a licensed manufacturer has stopped manufacturing activity

or closed the manufacturing site for a period of 30 days or more it is obligated to

inform the appropriate licensing authority (which is generally the state licensing

authority) The health ministry and the CDSCO would have to form similar rules for

pharmaceutical companies as well as chemists so as to fully take the benefits of this

new provision of licence retention fee
