On 24th September, 2015, Government of India notified that the rules on 'tobacco pack pictorial warnings' would come into effect from:

  • A.1st January, 2016
  • B.31st March, 2016
  • C.1st April, 2016
  • D.1st December, 2015

Answer: C

The rules came into effect from 1st April, 2016.

The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Amendment Rules, notified on 24 September 2015, required pictorial health warnings to cover 85% of the principal display area on both sides of tobacco packs, up from 40% on one side. They took effect on 1 April 2016.

1 December 2015, 1 January 2016 and 31 March 2016 are not the date set by the notification. 1 April 2016 is also remembered because the industry contested the larger warnings when they came into force.
