Who issues drug licences in Mizoram

Retail and wholesale drug licences in Mizoram are granted under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Drugs Rules, 1945 by the Food and Drugs Administration, Directorate of Health Services, Mizoram, the state licensing authority. It grants, renews, suspends and cancels licences, so a dispute about a licence's status is settled with it, not with us.

Reading a Mizoram drug licence number

Licence numbers in Mizoram look like this today. Characters shown as x stand for the serial, which is different on every licence.

RLF20MZ2026xxxxxx
Retail. RLF marks a retail licence, 20 is the form (21 for the Schedule C and C1 licence), MZ is the state code, 2026 the year of issue, and the last six digits the serial. Restricted licences (Forms 20A and 21A, for shops without a pharmacist) begin RL instead, with the year before the state: RL20A2026MZxxxxxx.
WLF20B2026MZxxxxxx
Wholesale. WLF marks a wholesale licence and 20B is the form (21B for Schedule C and C1). Note the order changes: in a wholesale number the year comes BEFORE the state code MZ, while in a retail number it comes after.

Older Mizoram numbers you may still see

07/01/12/xxxx
Older Mizoram numbers were the form, a district number, a two-digit year and a serial. Numbers in this form generally do not appear in the current records.

Mizoram moved its sale licences to the national licence format in 2026, so recently renewed certificates carry the new number.

Which licence forms apply

A pharmacy or distributor in Mizoram holds one or more of these licences. The form is printed on the certificate, usually beside the number.

Retail · Form 20 / 21: A chemist or pharmacy selling to the public. Form 20 covers drugs other than those in Schedules C, C1 and X; Form 21 covers Schedule C and C1 drugs. Most shops hold both.
Wholesale · Form 20B / 21B: A distributor or stockist selling to other licensees, with the same split between the two forms.
Restricted · Form 20A / 21A: A restricted licence for a dealer without a registered pharmacist, such as a general store in a village, limited to a narrow range of medicines.

What we check in Mizoram: Retail (Form 20/21); Wholesale (Form 20B/21B).

What a result means

Valid: The licence is in the official records under that number, is not cancelled or suspended, and is within its validity. You see the firm name to compare with your invoice, and the date the records are as of.
Expired: The licence exists but its validity date has passed. The firm may have applied for renewal; ask for the renewed certificate before you trade.
Cancelled or suspended: The licensing authority has cancelled or suspended the licence. Do not buy from or sell to the firm under it until that changes.
Not found: No licence under that number in the Mizoram records. Check the number and the state first, and whether it is an older number the state has since replaced.
More than one firm: The number as typed fits several firms. We name none of them rather than guess; enter the full number or the firm name.
Could not be checked: The official records could not be reached. We say so plainly: an outage is never reported as "not found", and a check that cannot be completed does not count against your monthly allowance.

Every result is a status report from official records, not a certificate. When a source is down we say so — we never guess, and we never report an outage as though a licence were missing. A check that cannot reach its source does not count against your monthly allowance. Pharma Mithra is not affiliated with any state licensing authority.
