1 Act -I
1.1. DRUGS AND COSMETICS ACT,
1940 AND ITS RULES
1.1.1. Introduction
The main aim of The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules 1945 is to
maintain the import, manu facture, distribution, and sale of drug s and
cosmetics. Continuous use of cosmetics in luxury items prove to be harmful
as they may contain harmful ingredients. Therefore, there is a need to control
the cosmetics.
This Act verifies that the drugs and cosmetics should be manufactured,
distributed, and sold only by qualified persons having a license for this purpose.
The Central and State Drugs Control authorities are also recognised to control
these actions.
To this Act and Rules, timely amendments are made. The major amendment was
made in 1982, in which Schedules E, I, and L were eliminated, Schedules G and
H were revised and expanded, and Schedule X was added.
Previously there were Schedule C and C 1 drugs, and drugs other than those
specified in these schedules. At the present time, there are:
1) Drugs not specified in Schedule C, C1, and X,
2) Schedule C and C1 drugs, excluding Schedule X drugs, and
3) Schedule X drugs.
Schedules M and Y were established in 1988. In relation to Jammu and Kashmir,
the chapter related to import of drugs and cosmeti cs should take effect from the
date after the commencement of the Drugs and Cosmetics (Amendment) Act,
1972, the Central Government may appoint in this behalf by notifying the
Official Gazette.
The main concern of this Act is to verify the standards and q uality of drugs
manufactured in India and to regulate their manufacture, sale, and distri bution.
Excise duties and imposition of narcotic drugs are not the part of this Act.
This Act aims to maintain high standards of medical treatment by avoiding sub -
standard in drugs when the required concomitant of medical or surgical treatment
is allowed to be diluted.
