We received a lot of queries that ask for any document mentioning no license required for selling of ayurvedic medicines. Ayurvedic medicines are covered under drug and cosmetic act & rules. The act mention all information about licenses that are needed for manufacturing, selling, distributing, exporting, importing of pharma, cosmetic, homoeopathic, ayurvedic (including unani & siddha), medical devices, blood and other related products. It mentions only licenses that is needed but doesn't mention for what is not needed. For Ayurvedic (Including siddha and unani), only manufacturing license is described but no license is mentioned for sale, purchase, retail and distribution of Ayurvedic (Including siddha and unani) medicines. So, it is understood that there is no license is required for retail and distribution of Ayurvedic (Including siddha and unani) medicines but still some persons ask for written proof. Some days ago, we found at Bihar Drug Authority website mentioning &q

Government only describes the rules for which a license is required. If any product doesn't require any license then you will not find any written rule for it. It's understood.
Ayurvedic medicines are regulated through drug and cosmetic act. In drug and cosmetic act, only conditions and license type of manufacturing license of ayurvedic medicine is described. Distribution and sale license is not described or mentioned. So there is no requirement of a sales license for ayurvedic medicines.
For explanation, allopathic medicines require license for all business that is manufacturing, sale, purchase, stock, wholesale and retail so every type of license is mentioned and described under drug and cosmetic act whereas only manufacturing license is mentioned and described for ayurvedic medicines. Similarly cosmetic products related only to manufacturing license is mentioned and described, not any wholesale and retail license. So cosmetic products also don't require a license for sale and purchase.
Hope this information is helpful to you...
