FAQs
What is required to register a pharmaceutical or medical product in India?
It depends on the product type. Common requirements include dossier submission, local testing data, product labels, Free Sale Certificate, and regulatory fees. For drugs and devices, CDSCO is the primary authority.
Is a local authorized agent needed for product registration?
Yes. For foreign manufacturers, appointing an India-based authorized agent is mandatory for regulatory submissions and communications.
Can Artixio help with both registration and post-market compliance?
Absolutely. We handle everything from dossier filing to label compliance, renewals, and change notifications across all life sciences product types.
Can registration be done without a local presence in India?
No. A local Indian entity or authorized representative is required to file the application and communicate with authorities on behalf of the foreign manufacturer.
Is prior international approval mandatory for Indian registration?
In most cases, proof of approval or sale in the country of origin is needed, along with a Free Sale Certificate. Some categories may require additional international compliance evidence.
Are site inspections or audits mandatory?
Yes, for certain product types or risk categories, Indian regulatory authorities may conduct site inspections or request audit reports as part of the registration process.
Can one registration cover multiple product variants or sizes?
Not always. Registrations are generally granted per product or per formulation. Each variant may need a separate approval, depending on regulatory classification.
