PCI asks State Pharmacy Councils to issue good standing certificate to pharmacy graduates

The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), the statutory body formed to regulate the pharmacy education and practices in the country has decided in recent meeting that all the State Pharmacy Councils in the country should issue good standing certificate to pharmacy graduates.
In a recent meeting held in August, 2011 PCI has addressed all the State Pharmacy Councils across the country to issue good standing certificate to all the graduates including B Pharm, D Pharm, M Pharm etc. who wants to carry out their profession in US, UK or any country outside India.
Dipankar Chakraborthy, vice president, PCI informed that the good standing certificate will be issued by the registrar, of the concerned State Pharmacy Council. “For the same we have urged all the State Pharmacy Council to charge fee for issuance of the certificate and it should not be more than Rs.1000,” he said.
“The pharmacists working here in India should not apply for the certificate as they are not valid and under the State Pharmacy Council and it is unethical to apply for the good standing certificate. It is just the provision made for the students who wants to work and carry out their profession outside India,” Chakraborthy added.
The PCI in its notice, stated that all the institutes coming under the required state council should be approved by PCI under section 12 of Pharmacy Act, 1948. Thereby applicant is required to submit a request for issuance of certificate stating the purpose of working as a pharmacists in abroad for which certificate of good standing is required and they should submit the communication of concerned body or institution requiring the same.
For obtaining the certificate of good standing, the student will have to fulfil all the details including name, address, qualification, name of the college, university, admission date and passing year, registration number and date, required by the institutions as registered in the State Pharmacists Register.
In view of the above, PCI has advised all the students to strictly follow the prescribed provisions with regard to get the certificate and carry out their profession as a pharmacists outside India under the Pharmacy Act, 1948.
