Additionally, the notifications mentioned that manufacturers of scheduled formulations selling their products above the specified ceiling price, including applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST), are required to revise their prices downward to comply with the ceiling price set by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA). If the manufacturers already sell these products at a price lower than the ceiling, they must maintain their current Maximum Retail Price (MRP) in line with paragraph 13(2) of the Drugs (Prices Control) Order (DPCO), 2013. Additionally, GST can only be added to the ceiling price if it has actually been paid or is payable to the government.
The determination of the ceiling price must adhere to the provisions outlined in paragraph 11 of the DPCO, 2013. Manufacturers are required to issue updated price lists (Form-V) from the date of the notification and submit these to the NPPA via the Integrated Pharmaceutical Database Management System (IPDMS), as well as to State Drug Controllers and dealers. Retailers and dealers are obligated to display the price list and any supplementary updates in a conspicuous location within their business premises to ensure easy access for consumers.
If a manufacturer introduces a new drug with dosage or strength specified in the schedule, they must apply for prior price approval from the NPPA, following the guidelines in Schedule II of the DPCO, 2013. Regular reporting is also mandatory, with quarterly returns detailing production, import, and sales of scheduled formulations to be submitted via Form-III. In cases of production discontinuation, manufacturers must notify the NPPA at least six months in advance through Form-IV.
Non-compliance with these regulations will result in penalties, including the repayment of overcharged amounts with interest. Such violations fall under the purview of the DPCO, 2013, and the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. Finally, this notification supersedes any prior price orders for the listed formulations, ensuring uniform implementation of the revised ceiling prices.
