The concerned Authority NPPA had also issued an office memorandum on 17th March, in which it mentioned the Office Memorandum dated I3th March 2020 issued by it regarding submission of information pertaining to Masks, Gloves and Hand Sanitizers in the prescribed format.
However, with the same not being done by many, the apex drug price regulator was seen ordering them with stern action
it had been observed that very few manufacturers/importers had submitted the requisite information in the prescribed format. It is, therefore, informed to all the companies concerned that non-compliance of the Orders issued by this office would attract penal provisions of the DPCO, 2013 and the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 which may lead to Search and Seizure and even prosecution for defaulting companies.
NPPA directed all manufacturers/importers of the Masks, Gloves and Hand Sanitizers to submit the requisite details in the prescribed format latest by 6 PM on 18th March 2020 failing which NPPA would be constrained to initiate appropriate coercive action.
