If a pharmacist fails to pay his/her renewal fee by the due date (Before the first day of April of the subsequent year) his/her name is removed from the register of pharmacists under section 34(2) of Pharmacy Act -1948. MSPC in its 92nd meeting has decided to convert the NRD (Non Refundable Deposit) scheme into Advance Renewal fee in lump sum (ARFL) scheme.

Accordingly for all the pharmacists who have participated in the voluntary Non refundable Deposit (NRD) scheme for renewal of pharmacy registration by paying the appropriate amount on or before 1st October 2009, their Non Refundable Deposit with this council is automatically converted into renewal fees for proportionate number of years

New Scheme for renewal of registration from 1st October 2009:
In conformity with MSPC Rules 1969 (Rule NO- 57(2) ) a registered pharmacist who wishes to renew his registration ,may voluntarily remit Advance Renewal fee in lump sum (ARFL) in order to avoid difficulties arising out of inadvertent failure to pay the renewal fees every year in time.

** ARFL –Rs 1500/- for renewal of thirty years
** ARFL-Rs 1000/- for renewal of twenty years
** ARFL-Rs 500/- for renewal of ten years

Above amount is mentioned considering present renewal fee of Rs 50/-(fifity only) per year. ARFL will change subject to fee revision, if any in future. Remaining conditions related with this scheme are mentioned in ARFL application form and pharmacist is requested to go through same thoroughly before enrolling in it.
