India's Drug Amendment Rules
On January 18, 2022, the Drugs (Amendment) Rules, 2022 were amended by the Indian
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The amendment mandates QR codes on every
active medicinal component beginning on January 1, 2023. Every active pharmaceutical
ingredient (API) imported or manufactured in India is required to have a QR (Quick
Response) code on the label and at every packaging level, per the notification's new drug
modifications rule.

- Brand name (if any)
- Name and address of the manufacturer
- Batch no.

- Date of manufacturing
- Date of expiry or retesting
