Audit Records & Enforcement Forms

Forms used for ongoing audit-book maintenance and regulatory enforcement actions under the Medical Devices Rules and Drugs and Cosmetics Act. Cover routine inspection logbooks, observation responses, show-cause notices, and licence suspension or cancellation procedures. Maintained perpetually post-licence — gaps in these records are the single biggest cause of renewal failures and re-inspection escalations. Treat them as a living compliance trail, not a one-time filing.

FAQ

Common questions

Every CDSCO-licensed facility maintains an audit/inspection book — it's a continuous record requirement, not a one-time submission.

Inspectors take samples (MD-36 intimation, MD-37 receipt if fair price refused), then refer for testing (MD-38 memorandum). Results inform compliance status.

No — MD-34 explicitly prohibits disposal until the restriction is lifted. Violations can lead to licence suspension.

Maintain MD-11 records continuously, keep CAPA closed, internal audit reports current. We offer mock-audit services to identify gaps.
