In a letter to the Union minister for Railways, AIOCD President JS Shinde said that e-pharmacies are operating illegally in the country. "The High Court has prohibited operations of online pharmacies. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in its affidavit has admitted that there is no provision for online pharmacies in India at present under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 or its rules," the letter said.
