The draft amendment to the Drugs and Cosmetic Rules, 1945 (the "Draft E-pharmacy Rules") was published by the Department of Health and Family Welfare under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (the "Ministry of Health") on August 28, 2018, primarily setting out the requirements and conditions for the sale of drugs by an "e-pharmacy". Objections and suggestions to the Draft E-pharmacy Rules have been invited from the general public until October 12, 2018, which will be considered by the Central Government before finalizing the regime governing this sector.
