What is an Ayush Licence?

An Ayush Licence is issued by the Ministry of Ayush or the State Licensing Authority (SLA) under the provisions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. It authorises manufacturers, traders, and distributors to produce or sell products belonging to the Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathic (AYUSH) systems of medicine. Manufacturing licences (Form 24D for Ayurveda/Unani/Siddha, Form 26E for Homeopathy) require Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliance under Schedule T of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules. The Ministry of Ayush has significantly strengthened quality enforcement in recent years — all Ayush manufacturers must comply with GMP norms, maintain batch records, and pass regular inspections. The booming demand for herbal products, nutraceuticals, and traditional medicine globally makes this a high-growth segment requiring careful regulatory compliance.

Types of Ayush Licences

Ayurvedic / Unani / Siddha Manufacturing (Form 24D):

For manufacturers producing classical and proprietary Ayurvedic, Unani, or Siddha formulations. Requires GMP-compliant facility, qualified technical head (BAMS/BUMS/BSMS degree), and dedicated quality control lab.

Homeopathic Manufacturing (Form 26E):

For manufacturers of Homeopathic medicines and mother tinctures. Requires separate facility with dilution equipment, dispensing area, and qualified Homeopathic practitioner (BHMS degree) as technical head.

Loan Licence (Form 24F):

For manufacturers without own premises who produce Ayush products using another licenced manufacturer's facility and equipment. Useful for startups launching new Ayush brands before establishing own manufacturing.

Wholesale / Retail Trading Licence:

For distributors and retailers of Ayush products. Less stringent than manufacturing — requires storage premises, qualified person, and no GMP requirement. Issued by State Drug Authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which products require an Ayush Licence?+
All products classified under Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathic systems of medicine require an Ayush Licence for manufacturing. This includes classical formulations (listed in Ayurvedic/Unani/Siddha formularies), proprietary medicines, herbal cosmetics (if classified as drugs), and Homeopathic preparations. Patent and proprietary Ayush medicines need a separate category of licence.
Is GMP mandatory for Ayush manufacturing?+
Yes — GMP compliance under Schedule T of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules is mandatory for all Ayush manufacturers. This covers manufacturing premises design, equipment standards, quality control laboratory requirements, personnel qualifications, batch documentation, and storage conditions. GMP compliance is verified during the mandatory inspection by the State Licensing Authority.
Can I manufacture both Ayurvedic and Homeopathic products under one licence?+
Generally, separate licences are required for different AYUSH systems (Ayurvedic/Unani/Siddha under one combined licence; Homeopathy separately). Manufacturing areas must be clearly segregated to prevent cross-contamination. The State Licensing Authority will verify physical separation during inspection.
What is the difference between a manufacturing licence and a trading/distribution licence?+
A manufacturing licence permits the production of Ayush products at your own facility. A wholesale/retail trading licence permits buying finished Ayush products from licensed manufacturers and distributing or selling them. Manufacturing requires GMP compliance, QC lab, technical staff, and facility inspection. Trading requires minimal documentation — premises proof and a qualified person.
What happens if I want to add new products to an existing Ayush licence?+
You must file an amendment application (Form 24D amendment) with the State Licensing Authority, providing the new product formulation, manufacturing process, and label specimens. Minor product additions may be approved within 30 days. Products involving new ingredients or changed processes may require additional review or inspection.
