Common Questions

Distributor Knowledge FAQ

Common questions about Ayurvedic distribution in India — compliance, licensing, reporting, and operations.

▶What topics are covered in the For Distributors blog?

The For Distributors blog covers territory economics, AYUSH compliance, drug licensing, GST registration, inventory management, secondary sales reporting, beat planning, trade scheme encashment, and channel development for Ayurvedic medicine distributors in India.

▶What statutory licences does an Ayurvedic distributor need in India?

Ayurvedic medicine distributors in India require a wholesale drug licence under Schedule K, GST registration, and where applicable, storage facility compliance documentation meeting AYUSH storage standards. Some states may require additional state-level registrations.

▶How does secondary sales reporting work for distributors?

Secondary sales reporting involves tracking sell-through from distributor to retailer by outlet and beat, recording data in a DMS or sales register, and sharing monthly consolidated reports with the principal for scheme claim validation and offtake review.

▶What is beat planning in Ayurvedic distribution?

Beat planning is the process of organising market visits by route across a territory — assigning specific retail outlets to specific days — to maintain consistent outlet coverage, reduce travel cost, and ensure regular retailer engagement across the distributor's catchment.

▶How should a distributor manage slow-moving stock?

Slow-moving stock management involves classifying stock by movement velocity using ABC analysis, identifying near-expiry batches early, engaging the principal for return or replacement, and adjusting forward orders to avoid repeat accumulation across future purchase cycles.
