KPME for AYUSH
AYUSH clinics and therapy centres are covered by KPME. Choose the right category and display the green board.
- Clinics, labs, dental and hospitals
- All districts of Karnataka
- Portal filing, documents and inspection support
The KPME Act covers every system of medicine, not just allopathy. Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy and Naturopathy establishments must register too. The portal records the system of medicine for each establishment and has a dedicated AYUSH therapy centre (ATC) category.
Clinic or AYUSH therapy centre?
| Your set-up | Likely category | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Ayurveda or homeopathy doctor, consultation only | Clinic / polyclinic, consultation only, with the AYUSH system of medicine | Rs 3,100 |
| Clinic that also dispenses medicines | Clinic / polyclinic with dispensary | Rs 6,300 |
| Panchakarma, Kerala therapy, yoga or naturopathy therapy centre | AYUSH therapy centre (ATC) | Rs 6,300 |
| AYUSH hospital with beds | Hospital level as per services | From Rs 25,000 |
Doctor registrations the portal accepts
AYUSH doctors register with their state boards; the portal lists KAUP (Karnataka Ayurveda and Unani Practitioners’ Board) and KBHSM (Karnataka Board of Homoeopathic System of Medicine) alongside KMC and KSDC. Therapists should hold certificates from recognised courses.
Green board, not blue
The June 2024 display circular requires a board at the entrance with the KPME number, establishment name and owner’s name, on a green background for AYUSH (blue is for allopathy).
Therapy centre checklist
- Separate therapy rooms for men and women, with privacy
- Changing area and bathing or shower facilities for oil therapies
- Hygienic medicine preparation and storage
- Qualified supervising doctor and trained therapists

Wellness spas that offer AYUSH treatments under a doctor are often asked to register too. If in doubt, check before opening.
