The answer simple. Every citizen of this has the right to freedom to engage in any benign trade or business unless there is a valid law which restricts it.

The specific answer depends on the local law and the level of operation of your proposed venture.

Are you making soap merely for use in your home or for selling to public, as a part of your business?

Though it is not a legal query, I would like to answer to settle your problem.
The manufacturing of bathing soaps or such products comes under Small Scale Industries. If you visit District Industries Centre at your District Headquarters, they will guide you in the matter.

When you are in the business you can very well afford to engage a local lawyer to take care of all such issues in a professional manner.

I agree with the views of expert Mr. Malipeddi Jagga Rao, the suggestions may be followed.

The product falls under the category of cottage Industry if it is made following indigenous process and in that event it will not fall under the purview of Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
