What Is a Drug Manufacturing License?
A drug manufacturing license is issued by the State Licensing Authority under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, authorizing a facility to manufacture pharmaceutical products. It is mandatory for any company producing allopathic drugs (tablets, capsules, syrups, injectables, topicals), Ayurvedic/Unani/Siddha (AUS) medicines, or homeopathic preparations. Manufacturing without a valid license is a criminal offense.
Types of Drug Manufacturing Licenses
- Form 25 (Non-Loan License) — Own manufacturing premises, own equipment
- Form 25A (Loan License) — Manufacturing at a third-party GMP-certified facility (contract manufacturing)
- Form 25B (Repacking License) — For repacking of bulk drugs
- AUS Manufacturing License — For Ayurvedic, Unani, and Siddha product manufacturers
GMP Compliance (Schedule M)
All drug manufacturing facilities must comply with Schedule M of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, which mandates Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards — including cleanroom infrastructure, water systems, HVAC, quality control laboratories, and qualified personnel.
DK Reg Compliance conducts a pre-inspection GMP gap analysis before filing, so your facility is inspection-ready.
Documents Required
- Site Master File (SMF) describing the facility, infrastructure, and quality systems
- Schedule M compliance documentation
- Qualified Person / Technical Director qualification and appointment letter
- Product-specific manufacturing formulae and procedures
- Equipment list and calibration records
- Stability data and analytical method validation (for new formulations)
- Water testing reports
- Constitution documents of the company
- State-prescribed application forms and fees
Loan License (Form 25A) — Contract Manufacturing
A loan license allows brands and marketers to manufacture products through a contract manufacturer (lender) without owning a factory. DK Reg coordinates both the lender’s compliance and the loan license applicant’s documentation, ensuring both parties are aligned before submission.
