BHMS Doctors and the CCMP: the Law in Maharashtra
The law around BHMS doctors and modern medicine in Maharashtra: the CCMP, the case before the Bombay High Court, the prescription pad and the night shift
In 2014 Maharashtra amended the Maharashtra Homoeopathic Practitioners' Act with words about modern medicine 'to the extent of knowledge received' by passing the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology. As at 7 November 2026, the Bombay High Court had reserved judgment on whether that amendment is valid. This course reads the texts that apply to a BHMS doctor in Maharashtra, with or without the CCMP: the two registers, what the State told the court, how to check the position yourself, the drugs law and the prescription pad, what happens when a patient is harmed, your homoeopathy code, the hospital and the night doctor, and what to do outside Maharashtra and in the first 48 hours. Where the position is unsettled, it says so. It does not tell any doctor whether they may or may not practise modern medicine, it teaches no clinical practice, and finishing it is not a qualification, licence or permission to do anything.
Written by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, a medical practitioner qualified in law, in consultation with a High Court advocate. She is not a homoeopath. This course teaches the law, the records and the process; it teaches no clinical practice.

Read module one first, freeNo card, nothing charged
Read module one before you buy
Not ready to decide? Module one and its quiz open without payment, so you can see the writing, the depth and the way the questions work first. No card, nothing charged, and nothing charged later unless you choose to buy.
What you will be able to do when you have finished
Not what you will have heard about. What you will be able to do, on a Tuesday, with the thing in your hand.
Say what each register records, what the texts say about each, and why what the patient understands decides how you present yourself.
Explain what "to the extent of knowledge received" measures, and what the State told the High Court about the competencies.
Read an Act, a GR, a council notice, an interim order and a forward for what each is worth, and check the court position yourself.
Say how the drugs law reads a prescription, what Schedules H, H1 and X require, and what a prescription and a supply register must show.
Name the routes a patient can take after harm, and what to record from the first hour.
Check your board, title, records and publicity against your homoeopathy code.
Map, for a nursing home, who is on duty at night, what standing orders do and do not settle, and where the hospital answers too.
Say what "in the State" means for moving or consulting across States, and what to do in the first 48 hours after a notice.

How the course runsStart to certificate
1
Eight written modules. About twenty minutes each, read in any order, at your own pace, on a phone or a laptop. Every legal proposition carries the case, section or regulation it rests on, so you can check it. Each module also leaves you a document you can use: a which-register sheet, a within-the-course log, a monthly status check, a prescription pad check, a record after a bad outcome, a code check, a night duty map, and a first 48 hours card.
2
A scored quiz at the end of each module. Five applied questions, not definitions: a situation, and what you would do. Four out of five to pass. Retake it as often as you like, and the authority is explained on every answer, right and wrong. Your best score is the one kept.
3
A final quiz across all eight modules. It opens once you have passed all eight module quizzes. Sixteen questions, two drawn from each module, twelve out of sixteen to pass. Your sixteen are not the same as anybody else’s. Retake it as often as you need.
4
A certificate of completion, issued once the eight module quizzes and the final quiz are all passed. It is signed by Dr. Rupal V. Rana, MBBS, DCH, LLB, LLM, and carries a number anyone you show it to can check on this site. It is a certificate of completion: not a diploma, not a certification, not recognised by any regulator of homoeopathy, any university or any Bar body, and it carries no continuing education credit.

About the bonus module
The bonus module is included and costs nothing extra. It is a dated, one-place summary of what the texts say and what is still open, with how to check the position yourself. It sits outside the eight: it is not in the final quiz and it is not needed for the certificate. It has its own scored quiz if you want one.
The small printEducation, not advice on your matter. Not clinical teaching. No outcome promised.
This is education, not advice on your matter. Nothing in the course is advice about any particular patient, complaint, notice or case, and reading it does not create a relationship of adviser and client.
It is not clinical teaching. No module tells you how to examine, diagnose or treat any patient, or which medicine or therapy to use. Every clinical decision mentioned in it belongs to you and your clinic, and the author is not a homoeopath. Where official guidance on a clinical subject is quoted, the source is named and it is quoted for context only. Nothing in it says whether any homoeopath may or may not practise modern medicine.
Nothing is promised as an outcome. No course prevents a complaint, and none of this guarantees how any forum will decide anything.
Where a matter needs a lawyer, we say so. Representation before any forum, and any formal legal opinion, is arranged separately with a High Court advocate and is charged separately.
