Frequently Asked Questions
What approvals are required to conduct a clinical trial in India?
Clinical trials in India require approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) / DCGI and from a registered Ethics Committee, under the New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019, along with registration on the Clinical Trials Registry of India. The Rules also mandate informed consent, audio-visual recording in vulnerable-subject trials, and compensation for trial-related injury or death.
How are medical devices regulated in India?
Medical devices are regulated under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 read with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, with devices classified into risk classes A, B, C, and D and licensed by the State Licensing Authority or CDSCO depending on class. India has progressively brought all medical devices under regulation, requiring importers and manufacturers to obtain registration and licences and to meet quality and labelling standards.
Is telemedicine legal in India?
Yes. Telemedicine was formally legitimised by the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020 issued under the Indian Medical Council framework, which permit registered medical practitioners to consult patients remotely subject to conditions on patient identification, consent, prescribing, and record-keeping. Compliance with the IT Act and the DPDP Act, 2023 is also required for handling patient data; Judicium Arbitration advises digital-health ventures in Delhi NCR on this framework.
What is the DPCO and how does it affect drug pricing?
The Drugs (Prices Control) Order (DPCO), administered by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), caps the prices of scheduled essential medicines listed in the National List of Essential Medicines and limits annual price increases for non-scheduled drugs. Manufacturers must comply with the ceiling prices and reporting requirements, and overcharging can lead to recovery of the overcharged amount with interest and penalties.
