Speaking to ANI, Rawat said that the Ayurveda department has only issued licenses to Patanjali for immune boosters, cough and fever.
“As per Patanjali’s application on June 10, we issued them a license on June 12. But they did not mention the coronovirus. We only approved the license for immunity boosters, cough and fever. We have issued them a notice asking how they got permission to make the medicines claiming it to be Ayurvedic cure for treating COVID-19,” said YS Rawat Licence Officer.
“The Permission is required to be taken and under the third DMRI 1954, it is not legal to make such a claim,” he added.
