The week in brief
What changed
From 1 November, owners of non-commercial vehicles with functional FASTags who live within 20 km of a toll plaza may choose an annual local pass: Rs 1,500 outside municipal or town limits, or Rs 3,000 within them. It is valid only at that plaza and unavailable under closed-user tolling or where a service or alternative road exists.
Imported medicines must generally have at least one year of residual shelf life under amended Rule 31 of the Drugs Rules. Biological drugs and radiopharmaceuticals may be imported with at least 60% of their labelled shelf life remaining.
