Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940
9D. Spurious cosmetics
For the purposes of this Chapter, a cosmetic shall be deemed to
be spurious,-
(a) if it is imported under a name which belongs to another
cosmetic; or
(b) if it is an imitation of, or is a substitute for, another
cosmetic or resembles another cosmetic in a manner likely to deceive or bears
upon it or upon its label or container the name of another cosmetic, unless it
is plainly and conspicuously marked so as to reveal its true character and its
lack of identity with such other cosmetic; or
(c) if the label or container bears the name of an individual or
a company purporting to be the manufacturer of the cosmetic which individual or
company is fictitious or does not exist; or
(d) if it is an imitation of, or is a substitute for, another
drug or re-not truly a product.]
