Prescriptions your patient
can actually read.
The High Court has said a legible prescription is a patient's right. Rx Pad lets you type yours instead — free for one doctor, and every prescription is printable and WhatsApp-able.
Two minutes: your name, clinic, mobile and medical registration number. Enter the code we send to your phone and your pad is ready.
The order
What the High Court said
In an order dated 30 August 2025, Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri of the Punjab & Haryana High Court, hearing an unrelated bail matter, found a medico-legal report that could not be read and issued these directions.
-
1
A right, not a courtesy
The right to receive a legible medical prescription is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution.
-
2
Until prescriptions are typed
Doctors in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh are to write handwritten prescriptions in CAPITAL letters until computerised or typed prescriptions are adopted.
-
3
A policy within two years
The governments are to frame a policy on computerised prescriptions within two years, including financial assistance to clinical establishments and doctors if required.
What it does not say
It does not make software compulsory today. Writing clearly in capitals is compliance too. The digitisation policy is for the governments to write, and it is not out yet.
This is a plain-language summary to help you decide, not legal advice. For what the order means for your practice, read the order or ask your lawyer or medical council.
