The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, has integrated the Pharma Jan Samadhan Portal with the Pharma Sahi Daam Portal to create a unified digital platform for citizen services. This integration brings together medicine price information and grievance redressal services on a single platform, enabling citizens to access both services seamlessly through the app and portal.
The Pharma Sahi Daam platform provides consumers with instant access to prices of both scheduled and non-scheduled medicines, allowing verification that medicines are being sold within government-approved price limits. The Pharma Jan Samadhan platform facilitates reporting and resolution of complaints related to medicine pricing. While both initiatives were previously integrated at the mobile application level, they operated through separate web portals until this integration.
The newly integrated portal is operational with immediate effect, and the public can avail both services through the unified Pharma Sahi Daam interface. This integration aims to ensure a more efficient and user-friendly digital experience while enhancing transparency, accountability, public participation, and access to affordable medicines.
NPPA was constituted through a Government of India Resolution in 1997 as an attached office of the Department of Pharmaceuticals and serves as an independent regulator of drug pricing. It is responsible for fixing and revising drug prices as per the provisions of the Drugs Prices Control Order (DPCO), 2013, monitoring compliance and availability of drugs, and rendering advice on pharmaceutical policies.
