#👉ਜਾਅਲੀ ਦਵਾਈਆਂ ਰੋਕਣ ਲਈ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦਾ ਵੱਡਾ ਕਦਮ
👉ਜਾਅਲੀ ਦਵਾਈਆਂ ਰੋਕਣ ਲਈ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦਾ ਵੱਡਾ ਕਦਮ - Union Health Ministry Expands QR Code - Based Drug Traceability Framework to Vaccines , Antimicrobials and Anti - Cancer Medicines QR Code - Based Authentication to Cover Vaccines , Antimicrobials , NDPS and Anti - Cancer Drugs Posted On : 25 JUN 2026 1:20 PM by PIB Delhi In a major step towards strengthening the quality , safety and integrity of India's pharmaceutical supply chain , the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has notified amendments to the Drugs Rules , 1945 to expand the ambit of Schedule H2 and bring additional categories of drugs under the QR Code - based track and trace framework . Under the amended provisions , all vaccines , antimicrobials , narcotic and psychotropic drugs covered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances ( NDPS ) Act , 1985 , and all anti - cancer drugs have been included under Schedule H2 of the Drugs Rules , 1945 . With this amendment , manufacturers of these drug formulations will be required to print or affix a Bar Code or Quick Response ( QR ) Code on the primary packaging label of the product or , where there is inadequate space , on the secondary packaging label . The QR Code shall store information that can be accessed through software applications to facilitate authentication and verification of the product throughout the supply chain . The QR Code will contain key product information including the unique product identification code , generic and brand names , name and address of the manufacturer , batch number , manufacturing and expiry dates , manufacturing licence number , and details of excipients , wherever applicable . The requirement for QR Code - based identification was earlier applicable to the top 300 pharmaceutical brands in the country . The present amendment significantly expands its coverage to include all vaccines , antimicrobials , anti - cancer medicines and narcotic and psychotropic drugs , thereby broadening the scope of traceability and strengthening safeguards against the circulation of counterfeit and substandard medicines . The enhanced traceability mechanism will facilitate authentication of medicines at various stages of the supply chain and enable improved tracking and verification of drug products . The measure is expected to strengthen regulatory oversight and support efforts to curb the distribution of spurious medicines in the market . It will also contribute to the national fight against Anti - Microbial Resistance ( AMR ) by enabling better identification and monitoring of counterfeit and substandard antimicrobial products . Recognising the need to provide adequate time to industry and other stakeholders for implementation , the Ministry has prescribed phased timelines for compliance . The provisions relating to vaccines , narcotic and psychotropic drugs , and anti - cancer medicines shall come into force from 1 July 2027 , while the provisions relating to antimicrobials shall become effective from 1 July 2028 . - ShareChat
