254 out of 11889 Ayush medicine samples failed test in 3 yrs:

About 254 out of 11,889 samples of Ayush medicines have failed in quality testing in 24 states in the last three years, Rajya Sabha was informed today.
"States have reported incidents of substandard medicine samples and action taken against them. 11889 samples of AYUSH medicines were tested in 24 states during the last three years from 2013-14 to 2015-16, out of which 254 samples failed in quality testing," Ayush Minister Shripad Yesso Naik said in a written reply.
State licensing authorities initiated appropriate action after the samples failed to comply with the standards and the manufacturing companies issued show cause notices or their licences suspended or cancelled.

Also, the relevant batch of finished goods was recalled from the market and prosecution initiated, he added.
Exclusive regulatory provisions for standards and quality of Ayurvedic, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathic medicines exist in Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules thereunder.
"As of now there is no proposal in the Ministry to introduce new legislation for grading and standardisation of Ayush products," he said.
