Senior Advocate Sanjay Parikh, appearing for the Federation of Medical and Sales Representatives Association of India, said that The Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT) has accused Dolo 650 makers of distributing freebies worth Rs 1,000 crores to doctors as consideration for prescribing the tablet.
The Supreme Court bench was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking directions to make pharmaceutical companies liable for giving freebies to doctors as an incentive to prescribe their drugs.
The PIL also raised concerns about the control of drug formulations and the prices of the medicines being sold in India.
The bench has now asked the Center to file its response to the PIL within a week and will hear the matter again after 10 days.
