New Drug License

Drug License - Wholesale

Application support for medicine distributors and stockists.

What is Drug License - Wholesale?

A wholesale drug sale licence covers the wholesale activities allowed by its category. Dattriox's app catalog describes this service for distributors and stockists supplying medicines in bulk and references Forms 20B and 21B.

The relevant State or Union Territory authority administers the application. The product category, premises, storage and nominated competent person affect the forms and supporting evidence.

Dattriox supports application preparation; the licensing authority reviews the documents and premises and makes the licensing decision.

Wholesale and retail licences serve different activities

Wholesale supply to other licensed businesses is not the same as dispensing medicines to retail customers.
The app checklist asks for a competent person's qualification and experience information for this service.
The appropriate licence and conditions depend on the drugs handled and the State or UT authority.
