The Government of Delhi on July 23, 2026, notified regarding the facilitation of Pharmacist Registration and Mobility in the National Capital Territory of Delhi Order, 2026.
This notification, issued by the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi under the Pharmacy Act, 1948, aims to streamline the professional mobility of qualified pharmacists across India. It addresses administrative barriers by ensuring that pharmacists already registered with any State Pharmacy Council can easily register in Delhi if they reside or practice within the territory.
Under this order, eligible professionals are granted the right to have their names entered into the Register of Pharmacists maintained by the Delhi Pharmacy Council. This measure is designed to cut through bureaucratic red tape and foster smoother interstate professional integration for practitioners of pharmacy.
Crucially, the order provides strict regulatory relief by exempting applicants from furnishing redundant paperwork. It explicitly prohibits authorities from demanding any additional documents, certificates, or No Objection Certificates (NOCs) beyond what is strictly required by the central Pharmacy Act, 1948, overriding any conflicting local rules or guidelines.
