please refer to the customs notification no. 12/2012 cus dated 17.03.2012 List 3 and List 4 wherein specific drugs are listed for import at concessional rate of duty / nil rate of duty.  For personal import the procedure is specified in the Notification itself.

AI Summary

Import concessions for life-saving drugs may require a medical practitioner certificate and adherence to notification procedures. For personal import of life saving drugs a medical practitioner's certificate must be submitted to Customs to support medical necessity. Customs Notification No. 12/2012 (Lists 3 and 4) lists specific drugs eligible for concessional or nil duty and prescribes the procedure for personal import; applicability to commercial imports was queried but not answered in the discussion.
