AYUSH license is the license to start an Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, or Naturopathy medicine. It’s a license whose demand has increased ever since people realized that natural routes for remedies are also effective in the fight against COVID-19.
However, those who want to start the business by obtaining an AYUSH license are still confused. They wonder whether for the AYUSH license, applying online is the option. Let’s discuss the answer to this question in this blog.
How to get AYUSH License in India?
Before discussing the possibility of the process to be online, let’s discuss the steps that the procedure contains:
- First, you need to file the application FORM 24-D and submit the required documents.
- The AYUSH ministry will start scrutinizing the application as soon as it accepts it. There are many aspirants for AYUSH business and the ministry wants to pay equal attention to all.
- If it doesn’t find any errors with the application form or the documents. The ministry will inform of the date the inspection of the manufacturing facility will take place.
- The inspector will visit your premises on the appointed date and time and will assess the manufacturing facility. He will scrutinize your machinery, the books that you keep on the premises, and the storage section you have to preserve store and preserve the medicine.
- If there are issues with your premises, the inspection will forward a report of the same to the AYUSH ministry. The ministry will respond by sending you a notification to fix the issues within a certain deadline.
- Once you fix all the errors that the inspector has pointed out, you will obtain the AYUSH license in India.
Let’s now discuss the elements of this procedure
The first step where you file the application is one where you need to precisely provide all the information pertaining to your manufacturing facility, the medicines you’re making, the qualifications of the people you’ve hired, and the reason you wish to obtain the AYUSH license.
For all intents and purposes, it’s one step that one should be able to take online. And by uploading the scan documents, a person won’t need to upload the physical copies of the documents.
Secondly, it’s the AYUSH ministry can accept online submissions if it wishes to and notify the applicant about the application’s status via email.
However, inspection is the element of the procedure that the inspector can’t do online. He must pay a visit to your premises to test the authenticity of the information you’ve provided in the application form.
All these elements tell us that the application process of the AYUSH license can both be online and offline.
But is that case?
Does the ministry provide a method to apply for an AYUSH license online?
The answer to this question is a resounding No.
Despite the great strides we have made in terms of digitization, and the rules we have introduced to make it easier for entrepreneurs to get business licenses, the AYUSH license falls under the exception.
Simply put, the process of obtaining the AYUSH license is still offline.
- One has to pay a physical visit to the AYUSH headquarter and file the application
- If there are discrepancies with the application or the documents, the ministry drafts a notification and sends it to the applicant via speed post.
- However, that’s not limited to discrepancies. All notifications are sent via a physical medium.
- Finally, the AYUSH license you obtain is a hard copy, with probably no detail of it on the online database other than a dusty old register at the ministry headquarters.
Conclusion
AYUSH license, the business registration to produce AYUSH products, is not something you can get online. It requires you to pay a physical visit to the office and do the tasks necessary to acquire the certification.
If you find yourself not capable to do that, or you want to pay attention to your business instead of wasting time dealing with these legal requirements, consult with Registrationwala.
