In a mid-July circular, India’s Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) announced the offer of rewards for whistleblowers who report on goods that are confirmed as “spurious, adulterated, and/or misbranded.” Rewards have been set at up to 20% of the total value of intercepted shipments of goods. The maximum value of the reward is 2.5m rupees (around $40,000). The ceiling on the reward that a government official can claim is set at 500,000 rupees per incident and 3m rupees over his or her entire period of service.
