Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (“Ministry”) has proposed to amend Form MD-10, in Appendix of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 (“Rules”) and released the draft Medical Devices (……Amendment) Rules, 2019.

If the CLA is satisfied that the requirements of the Rules have been complied with, then the CLA will grant a licence in Form MD-10 or may reject the application for reasons to be recorded in writing.
The proposed amendment is relating to substituting “State Licensing Authority” with “Central Licensing Authority” as the undersigned authority in Form MD-10.
