Section 76 of NDPS Act, 1985 : Section 76: Power Of Central Government To Make Rules

Explanation using Example

Imagine a pharmaceutical company that produces medications containing narcotic drugs for pain relief. The company needs to understand how to calculate the percentage of narcotic substances in their liquid preparations to comply with the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The Central Government, under Section 76 of the Act, has the authority to create rules for such calculations.

In this scenario, the Central Government issues a notification with detailed rules on how to calculate the percentages, as per clause (a) of Section 76(2). The pharmaceutical company then uses these guidelines to ensure their products meet legal standards, avoiding penalties for non-compliance.
