New Delhi: The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has extended the deadline for submission of the Standard Inspection Form (SIF) on its official portal for pharmacy institutions seeking approval for the academic session 2026-2027. The last date for submission has now been pushed to November 10, 2025, in response to repeated requests from stakeholders across the country.
