        abstract = {India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs also the business for production of banned drugs is booming and many people don’t know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. Doctors do not report side effects of any drug and the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) is the sole authority to endorse the manufacture, sale and ban of a drug. Drug development process is a robust process that can make and assure a drug with least possible side effects for human consumption. After a seriesof quality control process only a drug can be released into market. But some adverse effects of drugs appear only after the drug is used in general population. If the adverse-affects are severe or the risks of using the drug outweigh the benefits, or if the drug is ineffective, the country may ban the drug or the Drug Company may itself voluntarily withdraw the drug. Some drugs may cause adverse effects only when combined with particular drugs. In such cases, only the fixed dose combination is banned and not the individual drugs. A number of single drugs as well as fixed dose combinations have been banned for manufacture, marketing and distribution in India. The present review is an attempt to provide some information about the individual drugs that are banned in India with their reason of banning},
