(Regulation and Development) Act, 1966

This Act establishes a licensing system for e-commerce platforms that trade in notified agricultural produce. It requires operators to obtain a license from the Director of Agricultural Marketing and mandates strict conditions regarding transparency, payment facilities, and record-keeping. The law empowers authorities to suspend or cancel licenses for fraud, breach of terms, or obstruction of market activities. It also provides a framework for resolving disputes between platform operators, traders, and buyers, including appeals to the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal. Violations of these regulations can result in imprisonment or fines, ensuring orderly and fair marketing of agricultural goods in the digital space.
