Deep FAQ

The questions founders actually ask

Not the polished 5 — the 15 that come up in real consultations. Click any to expand.

Q01What's the difference between retail and wholesale drug license?
Retail (Form 19): direct sale to end-consumer, minimum 10 sq.m premises, qualified pharmacist mandatory. Wholesale (Form 19A): sale to other licensed dealers, 10+10 sq.m premises, registered pharmacist + competent person. Restricted (Form 19B/21B): narcotic/psychotropic substances, additional compliance.
Q02What's the difference between Schedule H, H1, X drugs?
Schedule H: prescription drugs (most antibiotics, hormones), normal record-keeping. Schedule H1: specific antibiotics + psychotropics (ketamine, tramadol etc.), 3-year prescription records mandatory, separate register. Schedule X: narcotic and psychotropic (morphine, opioids), Form 21B restricted license, double-lock storage, monthly returns to Drug Controller.
Q03Can my premises be in a residential building?
Depends on state and municipal zoning. Most states require commercial / mixed-use premises. Pure residential generally not permitted. Check local municipal zoning before applying. Some states allow ground-floor commercial in residential buildings.
Q04What's the drug license validity and renewal?
5-year validity. Renewal application 3-6 months before expiry. Late renewal = fresh application + premises re-inspection + additional fee. If pharmacist changes during validity, intimation to Drug Controller within prescribed time mandatory.
Q05What does the Drug Inspector check?
Pharmacist physical presence + State Council registration, storage area (retail min 10 sq.m, wholesale 10+10), refrigerator/AC documentation (cold-chain), drug list as per Schedule, prescription records (especially for Schedule H/H1/X), display compliance (pharmacist name + license number + "GENUINE/HEALER" board), purchase bills, stocks, expiry tracking.
Q06Online pharmacy — what license is needed?
Standard retail drug license + compliance with Drug Rules amendments for e-pharmacy operations. Prescription verification before dispatch. Schedule H, H1, X drugs have additional compliance. Some states have specific e-pharmacy guidelines. CDSCO approval may be needed for inter-state operations.
Q07Can I add new drug categories after getting license?
License covers schedules approved at time of grant. New categories (e.g., starting Schedule X after Schedule H) require modification application + additional approval + inspection. Storage compliance for new schedule mandatory before grant.
Q08What if my pharmacist resigns mid-license?
New pharmacist appointment + State Council registration verification + intimation to Drug Controller within prescribed window (typically 30 days). Operating without pharmacist = license suspension + penalty + criminal action under D&C Act S.27.
Q09Do I need separate licenses for each branch/outlet?
For premises-based licenses (FSSAI, drug, shop act): yes, separate license per premises. For non-premises licenses (IEC, MSME Udyam): one entity-level license covers all operations. Verify based on specific license type.
Q10What's the validity and renewal cycle?
FSSAI: 1-5 years based on category. Drug license: 5 years. Shop act: state-wise (1-5 years). MSME Udyam: continuous (until classification change). IEC: lifetime (modification needed for changes). ISO: 3-year cycle with annual surveillance. Renewals typically 3-6 months before expiry.
Q11What does inspection involve?
Inspector checks: premises layout matches application, qualified staff (pharmacist for drug, FSS for FSSAI) present, equipment/storage compliance, records/registers maintained, display compliance, product/activity scope matches license. Failed inspection = re-inspection after correction.
Q12Can I expand to new products/activities after license?
License covers specific scope at grant. New activities = modification application + additional inspection + fee. For FSSAI: Form 9 modification. For drug: separate addition application. For shop act: notification. Doing unauthorized activities = penalty + license cancellation risk.
