Centre Seeks Approval for Revised Jan Aushadhi Kendra Incentive Rules
What happened
The Centre is seeking Cabinet approval for revised guidelines concerning the ₹2 lakh incentive provided to women opening Jan Aushadhi Kendras, government-backed low-cost generic medicine outlets. Under the proposed terms, a woman seeking the incentive must be a registered pharmacist and operate the store in her own name. This change is detailed in a circular issued by the chief executive of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Bureau of India.

Why it matters
The new rules aim to encourage women pharmacy graduates to become entrepreneurs while preventing men from claiming the financial benefit through their wives' names. The scheme was extended until September 2026, and fresh approval is needed for the revised proposal.
The cabinet previously approved the establishment of a new Centre and used its authority to enact policy changes and propose amended regulations.
