Extension of term for Pharmaceutical or any other patents?

Is there any provision in the Indian Patents Act for Extension of term for Pharmaceutical or any other patents?

No. There is no such provision.

Dear Yedhash,

There is no provision for extension of term of patent in India. It is fix i.e. 20 year from date filing of patent application.
