- Regulate Access: Control who can access biological resources and under what conditions.
Key Functions of the NBA

- Benefit Sharing: When foreign companies or researchers use India’s biological resources, the NBA ensures that the benefits (financial or technological) are shared with local communities.
- Approval Authority: Any person or organization seeking to obtain intellectual property rights (IPR) on innovations based on Indian biological resources must obtain approval from the NBA.
- Regulator for Access: The NBA regulates who can access these resources and under what conditions, ensuring transparency and fairness.
