When you know your niche, doctors trust you more. They want someone who understands the science, not just someone who hands out flyers. Cafoli Lifecare gives you the training to be that expert.
1. Can I work from home?
No. You need a real commercial space that can pass a drug inspector audit. The law is very clear on this.
2. How much is the license fee?
The government wholesale drug license fees are usually around ₹3,000 for the main forms, but keep a little extra for notary and admin costs.
3. When will the inspector show up?
Once your papers are in, the Drug Inspector (DI) usually visits within 7 to 15 days.
4. Do I need to be a pharmacist?
Nope. You just need to hire a "Competent Person" with the right experience to be on the license.
5. PCD vs. Franchise: What's the difference?
PCD is usually for smaller areas (like a district) and lower investment. A full franchise is a bigger operation, often covering a whole state.
6. Do I need an FSSAI license too?
Yes, if you want to sell nutraceuticals like Nano Shots. It's a separate but necessary registration.
7. What's the total startup cost?
You can get moving with ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000. That covers your first stock, the license, and your basic setup. Cafoli Lifecare helps by keeping MOQs low.
8. What are Monopoly Rights?
It’s a promise from the company that they won't let anyone else sell the same brands in your specific area. It's your protection.
9. What about expired stuff?
We have a clear policy for this. You keep a register, and we help you with credit notes or swaps for damaged goods.
10. Can I sell online?
E-pharmacy has its own rules. You still need your wholesale license, and you have to follow strict delivery and prescription laws.
11. What GST papers do I need?
PAN card, Aadhaar, rent agreement, and a bank statement or cancelled cheque.
12. Does the license expire?
Most are valid for life now, but you have to pay a "Retention Fee" every 5 years to keep it active.
13. What is an "Experienced Person"?
Someone with a degree and 4 years in wholesale, or an SSLC with 10 years experience, approved by the department.
14. Do I really need a fridge if I don't sell injections?
Yes. Many syrups and pills need to stay cool. A fridge is a mandatory requirement for the license.
15. How does Cafoli help me sell?
We give you the whole kit: visual aids, samples, bags, and even digital tools to help you look professional to doctors.
16. What's the minimum order?
We’re flexible. Usually, you can start with an order between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000.
17. How do I pick what to sell?
Check your local doctors. If there are lots of women's clinics, go with the Matrizen range.
18. What does the Drug Inspector actually do?
They check your storage, your hygiene, and your papers to make sure you’re following the law. They're there to protect the public.
19. Can I expand later?
Definitely. Once you're doing well, you can ask Cafoli Lifecare for more districts.
