All over the world, each country desires to make availability of only standard quality drug for its countrymen to improve quality of life, being either manufactured indigenously or imported from other countries. The different national regulatory agencies have been continuously working in this direction so that only standard drug which fulfils the prescribed criteria of quality, purity and efficacy could be available for the welfare of the society. India is also working dedicatedly and successfully in this direction through its central regulatory agency i.e. CDSCO and state regulatory agencies by continuously amending and upgrading the Indian regulatory legislations and regulatory network. These different amendments and the surveys conducted to ensure and confirm the availability of standard drugs have been reviewed in this article.
