CDSCO Launches One-Year Online Dual Use NOC System for Bulk Drug Imports

Two-Phase Process

Phase I – Registration & NOC Issuance

Applicants must register on the Sugam Portal under the “Dual Use NOC” role, submit the Integrated Registration Form, and upload mandatory documents such as address proof, undertaking form, and ID proof of the authorised person. After verification by CDSCO headquarters, “the NOC will be issued by the concerned CDSCO Zonal/Sub-Zonal office within 07 working days.”

Phase II – Port Clearance

Once an NOC is granted, clearance at the designated port office requires submission of a covering letter, Certificate of Analysis, bill of entry, product labels, and invoices.

The system will also feature a Supply Chain Module to track imports and reconcile quantities during the NOC validity period. CDSCO stated this mechanism will ensure “uniform implementation of Rule 43” while safeguarding against misuse.
