Frequently asked questions

What is a PCD pharma franchise?

PCD (Propaganda-Cum-Distribution) lets you distribute and market a company’s products in a defined area under their brand, keeping the margin on what you sell.

What are monopoly rights?

Exclusive rights to sell a company’s range in a specific district or region, so no other distributor competes with you there.

How much investment is needed?

Most franchises start around ₹25,000–₹50,000 for the first order. There is no franchise fee on PharmaXperts listings.

Do I need a drug licence?

Yes — a valid drug licence and GST number are required to trade pharmaceuticals in India.

What margins can I expect?

Margins vary by segment and company, typically ranging from generous net rates on the general range to higher on specialty products.

Does PharmaXperts charge commission?

No. Enquiries go straight to the company and any deal is between the two parties.
