NIC Code: 21 — Manufacture of pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemical and botanical products

Related Licences & Registrations

  • Drug Manufacturing Licence: The State FDA issues manufacturing licences — no production without one, and Schedule M (GMP) compliance is physically inspected.
  • WHO-GMP / COPP: Needed for export markets; domestic GMP is the baseline every unit must meet.
  • CDSCO Registration: Required for importing drugs, medical devices and new formulations, and for clinical trial permissions.

ROC Filing Notes

  • Pharma manufacturing objects are accepted at incorporation without a drug licence — the licence is post-incorporation, so the ROC does not demand it at the SPICe+ stage.
  • Keep ‘retail pharmacy’ or ‘drug distribution’ as separate objects if the company will also sell directly — manufacturing and trading are distinct licensed activities and should read as such.
