Drug licence renewal is dead. Here's the retention checklist that replaced it.

Since the 2017 amendment, sale licences don't expire — they run on a 5-yearly retention fee, a 2%-per-month late-fee window, and 'deemed cancelled' after six months (Rule 63). This pack tracks your dates, computes your late-fee exposure, and lists the document set for filing.

What's inside

The retention tracker

  • Enter grant/last-retention date once — next due date and countdown compute themselves
  • Late-fee exposure in rupees: Rule 63's 2% per month, capped at 6 months
  • Status ladder: OK / PLAN / DUE SOON / OVERDUE
  • One row per licence — retail, wholesale, multiple premises

The document checklist

  • The common-core filing set: Form 19, affidavits, premises documents, pharmacist papers
  • Retail vs wholesale variants (competent-person requirements per Rule 64)
  • Status column to track assembly of the file
  • Clearly marked where states differ — verify on your state portal, no fake certainty

Verified against the CDSCO consolidated Drugs Rules, 1945 (Sept 2024 edition): Rule 63 (validity, retention fee, late fee, deemed cancellation) and Rule 64 (premises and competent-person conditions). Document lists are the common state set — your state may add items.

The file solves the format. The discipline is the hard part.

ShelfLifePro stores your licences and starts renewal reminders automatically the day a licence goes on file.
