Overview

AYUSH Third Party Manufacturing License in India

To manufacture products under a third-party arrangement, you will need to use a third-party manufacturer's production licence. You do not need to operate a production facility; you only need to market the product. The manufacturer will handle the necessary needs and formalities with the AYUSH office. You will be using the manufacturer's manufacturing licence, and the manufacturer will need to obtain official permission for your product. Additionally, you must supply the packaging materials and raw materials; otherwise, the manufacturer will arrange for them from his sources. Finally, a manufacturer will deliver the finished/ready product to you. The name of the business that made and marketed the product will appear on the label. The manufacturer will bill for his services, which include the costs of producing the goods, as well as the fees associated with product approval. A third party will need to create a legal document proving they are the product's owner. The contract should also state that your business will maintain ownership of the product in the event of a dispute.
