Q1With reference to the proposed amendment to the Drugs Rules, 1945 for import of drugs, consider the following statements: 1. The acknowledgement-based system applies to the import of small quantities of drugs for analytical and non-clinical testing. 2. Beta-lactam drugs are excluded from the eased process and will continue to require a licence beforehand. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The amendment introduces an acknowledgement-based system for importing small quantities of drugs for analytical and non-clinical testing, so statement 1 is correct. Beta-lactam drugs are among the specified drugs (along with sex hormones, cytotoxic drugs, biologicals containing live microorganisms, and narcotic and psychotropic substances) that are excluded and continue to require a licence beforehand, so statement 2 is correct.

Q2With reference to the proposed acknowledgement-based system under the Drugs Rules, 1945, consider the following statements: 1. Applicants must obtain a fresh import licence beforehand to import drugs for analytical and non-clinical testing under the new system. 2. Narcotic and psychotropic substances are covered by the eased acknowledgement-based process for import. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A Both 1 and 2 are correct
B Only 1 is correct
C Only 2 is correct
D Neither 1 nor 2 is correct
Explanation

Both statements are incorrect. Under the new acknowledgement-based system, applicants do not obtain a fresh licence beforehand; instead they submit a prior intimation form and import on the basis of the acknowledgement received, removing the licensing requirement, so statement 1 is incorrect. Narcotic and psychotropic substances are among the specified drugs excluded from the eased process and continue to require a licence, so statement 2 is incorrect.
