Often, business dreams remain unfulfilled due to a lack of funds. However, the Central Government’s Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP) offers you the opportunity to become your own boss with a very low investment. With an application fee of just ₹5,000, you can open your own Jan Aushadhi Kendra, where medicines are available at up to 90% cheaper prices than branded medicines. By joining this government scheme, you will not only be serving the community but also start earning a substantial income within the first 15 days.
What is Jan Aushadhi Kendra
The Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra is a revolutionary scheme of the Government of India aimed at providing affordable and high-quality generic medicines to the general public. The medicines available at these centers are 50% to 90% cheaper than branded medicines available in the market. This is why the demand for these centers and customer trust is growing rapidly across the country. The government not only provides financial assistance to promote this business but also takes responsibility for the supply of medicines.
Starting a Business for Just ₹5,000
While opening a regular medical store can cost lakhs of rupees, starting a Jan Aushadhi Kendra is very affordable and straightforward. The biggest advantage of this scheme is that its application fee is only ₹5,000. You receive a flat commission of up to 20% on medicines. Furthermore, the government also provides financial assistance (as an incentive) of up to ₹5 lakh for setup, such as furniture and computers. You only need a minimum of 120 square feet of space, and you can start generating substantial income within just 15 days of opening the shop.
Who can open this center
The government has set some mandatory rules for starting this business. Even if you are not a pharmacist yourself, you can open this center by hiring a qualified pharmacist. Applicants must have a D-Pharma or B-Pharma degree and a registration certificate with the Pharmacist Council. The shop should have approximately 120 square feet of space, whether owned or rented.
For registration, you must have an Aadhaar card, PAN card, Pharmacist Registration Certificate, residence certificate, passport-size photo, a working mobile number, and an active email ID. With these documents, you can begin the application process.
How to Apply Online from Home
The process of opening a Jan Aushadhi Kendra is now completely digital and transparent. You don’t need to visit any government office; just follow these simple steps:

How much will you earn in 15 days
Your earnings at a Jan Aushadhi Kendra depend entirely on your sales. Since the medicines here are very affordable, the number of customers is much higher than at a typical medical store. Within the first 15 days, as soon as locals become aware of your center, your sales will pick up at a rapid pace.
On average, a center operator can easily earn ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 per month. Additionally, the government offers an additional 15% incentive on total sales (up to a maximum of ₹15,000 per month). This government support provides a strong foundation for your business in the early days, allowing you to operate without any financial pressure.
