https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471955 Pain balms containing synthetic pharmacopoeial ingredients do not qualify as Ayurvedic medicines for central excise classification unless manufactured exclusively according to formulae in authoritative Ayurvedic books listed in the First Schedule to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. An Ayurvedic drug licence, Ayurvedic labelling, or certificates based on labels do not establish Ayurvedic character where no authoritative text or formulary supports the formula or preparation method. Trade names, trade marks, and distinctive packaging may support classification as patent or proprietary medicines. Such products fall outside the Ayurvedic-medicine tariff entry and are classifiable as patent or proprietary medicines. en-us Thu, 13 Sep 1990 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:33:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471955 Pain balms containing synthetic pharmacopoeial ingredients do not qualify as Ayurvedic medicines for central excise classification unless manufactured exclusively according to formulae in authoritative Ayurvedic books listed in the First Schedule to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940.
