Brief Summary  
The study is planned to be conducted as two period cross over design in male and non pregnant female patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are on a stable regimen of oral Paliperidone or Risperidone therapy or who are already receiving stable regimen of Paliperidone palmitate 156 mg/mL (100 mg Paliperidone) extended release injectable suspension. Participants will be screened within 14 days prior to stabilization (day -14 to day -1 will be considered as screening period). Only those participants will be randomized for dosing who are already on Paliperidone palmitate 156 mg /mL (100 mg Paliperidone) extended-release injectable suspension every month therapy for at least 3 months.

Post Randomization, test or reference product  will be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid or gluteal muscle of each participant on Day 1 day 29  57 85 113, day 141, 169, 197, 225 & 252 at clinical site.

After the study is completed (after last PK sample collection on Day 281), patients may be continued on their current dose of Paliperidone using an approved paliperidone product as prescribed by their clinicians.
(Administration shall be performed on alternating body sides (left and right) for each injection)
