ANNEX A

Guidelines on Automatic Renewal Applications Using eServices Portal System

I. Guidelines

1. All Automatic Renewal Applications shall be accomplished using the online


application form through the eServices Portal System
(https://eservices.fda.gov.ph). Creation of account and password is no longer a
requirement to obtain access to the online portal.

2. The declared e-mail address under the Contact Information is unalterable. The
applicant shall make sure that the e-mail address is within the scope and access
of the Authorized Person/s and/or Qualified Personnel handling the transaction.
Thus, FDA shall not be held liable in any way for loss of access to the declared
e-mail address.

3. All fields on the online application form have written warnings/pop-ups/


reminders before proceeding to the next step to ensure accuracy of information
provided.

4. The result of the application will be sent to the e-mail address of the applicant.

5. Documentary requirements shall be in pdf with 2 MB maximum file size.

6. All information filled-out by the applicant during the process shall be reflected
in the final output based on the consistency with uploaded documents. Thus, it
is imperative for the client to be diligent in filling out all the required
information.

II. Pre-assessment

1. An FDA evaluator/assessor shall conduct pre-assessment on the submitted


application and documentary requirements with regard to their completeness
and correctness. Applications with incomplete or incorrect data entry and
document submissions shall not be accepted and the application will not
proceed to the next step of the process.

2. The pre-assessment of applications shall be done within the prescribed working


days and office hours of the FDA.

3. The FDA shall inform the applicant of the result of the pre-assessment through
the registered e-mail address of the applicant. If the application passes the pre-
assessment step, the applicant shall receive the Order of Payment (OP) with
Reference Number through e-mail indicating the fees to be paid. If the
application did not pass the pre-assessment step, the FDA shall notify the
reason/s for non-acceptance (e.g., deficiency/ies found) and prompt the
applicant to apply again through the eServices Portal.
III. Payment of Fees

1. Payment of the total application fee as indicated in the OP may be done


through Over-the-Counter (OTC) payment at FDAC, On-Coll payment at Land
Bank of the Philippines (LBP) branches, or online payment through BancNet
(including LBP bills payment) based on existing FDA issuances. Always
indicate the Reference Number reflected in the OP. Clients will be informed of
other available channels of payment through an FDA issuance.

2. Once the payment is made, the payment channel (LBP or BancNet, except for
OTC payment at FDAC) will send a transaction report to the FDA which
usually takes a minimum of two (2) days. Upon receipt of the report, the
Cashier Section checks the details and posts the payment in the eServices
Portal if payment is made in full. Posting of payment may take a maximum of
two (2) days, depending on the volume of paid applications received.

3. Incomplete payment (amount paid is less than that of the OP amount) will not
be posted until the full amount as indicated in the OP is settled. This also
means that the application will not proceed to the next step of the process.

4. Applications will receive a system-generated message through the registered


e-mail address on the status of the payment made once posted or needs further
settlement. If full payment is made, e-mail will contain an Acknowledgement
Receipt, otherwise, a notification on payment deficiency.

IV. Evaluation

1. The veracity of the application and compliance with all the documentary
requirements and appropriate standards shall be further assessed.

2. The action on the application shall be Approval or Disapproval pursuant to


Republic Act (RA) No. 11032, otherwise known as the Ease of Doing Business
and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act.

3. Evaluation shall be done within the prescribed working days and office hours.
Applications filed after the working hours and during weekends/holidays shall
be considered filed on the next working day.
