In 2026, pharmacy registration renewal must be completed through the respective State Pharmacy Council to keep the pharmacist’s name active in the register. Failure to renew on time may lead to removal or penalties. Similarly, retail and wholesale drug license holders must apply for renewal before expiry under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 to avoid late fees or cancellation. Proper documentation, updated pharmacist details, and timely fee payment are mandatory for smooth approval.
