9th May 2026

Highlighted Information

Verify Registered Pharmacists on the Pharmacy Council of India / State Pharmacy Council registers.

Short Information

The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) is the statutory body under the Pharmacy Act 1948 that regulates pharmacy education and practice. Each pharmacist is registered with one of the State Pharmacy Councils and carries a State Registration Number — only registered pharmacists may dispense Schedule H, H1 and X drugs. PCI consolidates state registers into a national list and publishes them online for cross-state verification. Hospitals, retail pharmacies, drug-licence authorities and online-pharmacy platforms verify the pharmacist-in-charge's registration as a regulatory pre-condition. Pharmacy colleges' approval status is also published by PCI separately.
