According to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), it had come to light after investigations that in case of spurious drugs, a chemist or retail store claims to produce GST bills/ invoice of the drug which they have purchased. However, in most cases, the place of procurement is from another part of the country.
«This means that whenever shopkeepers or chemists are caught selling substandard/spurious drugs, they show a valid bill which is usually procured from another state,» said a senior official.
The official said the panel will examine ways for prosecuting erring chemists and retail shops to control the growing menace of spurious drugs.
He said the government move gains significance as chemist and retailer shops are last part for selling drugs to the general public and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and rules are made for welfare and upkeep of public health, making it vital to address this issue of sale of spurious drugs from the point of sale.
