Industry Profile

The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs licensed for use as medications. Pharmaceutical company’s candela in generic and/or brand medications. They are subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding the patenting, testing and marketing of drugs. The main aim of a particular Pharmaceutical Industry is to develop research and distribute drugs in order to provide health care for the people in the society. The Pharmaceutical Industry like other industries is subjected to follow certain rules and regulations. The

Pharmaceutical Industry needs to follow rules about patent,Marketing as well as testing of drugs that are scheduled to come to the market as medicines. Since the inauguration of the Pharmaceutical Industry in the 19th century, it has covered a long way and now it has become one of the most influential and successful industry in the world with both controversy and praise on its part. Pharmaceutical

Industry is very much dependent upon the developments andDiscoveries that are made to search new types of drugs and also to search for new kind of medicines. One can also see differences within the industry regarding the same drug or report and different companies within the Pharmaceutical Industry look to follow different paths for the same thing. Drug Discovery and Drug Innovation are two very aspects in the Pharmaceutical Industry:

Drug Discovery: Drug Discovery is a process through which potentialDrugs are designed or discovered. It has been observed in the past that most of the drugs were invented by means of isolating the active component from remedies which are traditional in nature or through another kind of discovery known as serendipitous discovery.

Drug Development: This process is taken forward after the discoveryIs done and a thing is identified as a potential drug. The development takes place immediately after that as the component is turned into medicine. So this is also considered as a very important process and has great importance in the Pharmaceutical Industry.For the first time ever, in 2006, global spending on prescription drug stopped $643 billion, even as growth slowed somewhat in Europe and North America. The United States accounts for almost half of the global pharmaceutical market, with $289 billion in annual sales followed by the EU and Japan. Emerging markets such as China,

Russia, South Korea and Mexico outpaced that market, growing a huge 81 percent.US profit growth was maintained even whilst other top industries saw slowed or no growth. Despite this, the pharmaceutical industry is —and has been for years — the most profitable of all businesses in thus. In the annual Fortune 500 survey, the pharmaceutical industry topped the list of the most profitable industries, with a return of 17%on revenue.

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry today is the frontrunner

Of India’s science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug

manufacture and technology. A highly organized sector, the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry is

3 | P a g e

estimated to be worth $4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9 percent annually. It ranks very high in

the third world, in terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From

simple headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every

type of medicine is now made indigenously.

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry plays a key role in promoting and

Sustaining development in the vital field of medicines, boasts of quality producers and many units approved by regulatory authorities in USA and UK. International companies associated with this sector have stimulated, assisted and spearheaded this dynamic development in the past 53 years and helped to put India on the pharmaceutical map of the world.The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than20, 000 registered units. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades. The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control 70% of the market with market leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. It is an extremely fragmented market with severe price competition and government price control.

The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than20, 000 registered units. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades. The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control 70% of the market with market leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. It is an extremely fragmented market with severe price competition and government price control.The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country’s demand for bulk drugs, drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations, chemicals, tablets, capsules, orals and injectibles. There are about 250 large units and about 8000 Small Scale Units, which form the core of the pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5Central Public Sector Units). These units produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., medicines ready for consumption by patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e., chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of pharmaceutical formulations.Following the de-licensing of the pharmaceutical industry, industrial licensing for most of the drugs and pharmaceutical products has been done away with. Manufacturers are free to produce any drug duly approved by the Drug Control Authority. Technologically strong and totally self-reliant, the pharmaceutical industry in India has low costs of production, low R&D costs, innovative scientific manpower, strength of national laboratories and an increasing balance of trade. The Pharmaceutical Industry, with its rich scientific talents and research capabilities, supported by Intellectual Property Protection regime is well set to take on the international market.

My Learning’s

27 | P a g e

While doing this research the knowledge that I have incurred is by the doing different activities in the company.

Employees of the company contribute 1.75% of their salaries/wages towards the ESIC Scheme, and the employer has to contribute 4.75%.

Employee share on PF is 12% of wages /salaries. If the Employees salaries is above ` 6500 then their share for PF is fixed i.e. ` 541 and if

it less then 6500 it is 8.33% of their salary/wages. Form6A- The employee provident Fund Scheme 1952 (paragraph {35} [3]). It is

consolidate annul contribution statement of all of the employees of the company. Form3A- The employee provident Fund Scheme 1952 (paragraph {35} [3]). It is annul

contribution statement of each and every employees of the company. When the company purchases any material from outside of state they have to pay entry

tax. The entry tax is calculated of the basic value that is the amount before any extra charges

are added up. On packing Material it is 0.5% and on spares it is 2% Whenever any party surrenders the company their services they have to deduct TDS

From their Bill and pay that amount to the government. TDS certificate is issued on regulatory basis to the party. TDS Rates for different kinds of parties is as follows :-

If PAN Card is Available:

Contractor – Individual -1% Contractor - Company – 2% Commission – 10% Rent – 10% Interest – 10% Professional Fees – 10%

If PAN Card not Available: 20%

If the supplier of the company is not registered in ESIC Scheme then 6.5% is to be deducted.

Suggestions

They should build the mutual understanding between the divisions for the better coordination.

28 | P a g e

They can also focus on the emerging market of the generic drugs. Company need to diversify it product portfolio in the other segment of the healthcare. To maintain the level of Working Capital, Company should make a reserve fund for the working

capital from the profit. Company should need to maintain his talent pool by the use of compensation, regular meeting and by

using grievance report.
