    Solution

    The government has extended the time period for existing stock limits on tur and urad by two months till December 31,2023 this year and revised the stock holding limits for certain entities. The stock limits for wholesalers and big chain retailers at the depot have been reduced from 200 tonne to 50 tonne each. The stock limit for millers has also been reduced from the last 3 months’ production, or 25 per cent of annual capacity, whichever is higher, to the last one-month production, or 10 per cent of annual capacity, whichever is higher. Stock limits applicable to each of the pulse individually will be 50 tonne for wholesalers; 5 tonne for retailers; 5 tonne at each retail outlet, and 50 tonne at the depot for big chain retailers; the last one month of production or 10 per cent of annual installed capacity, whichever is higher, for the millers. However, importers are not allowed to hold imported stock beyond 30 days from the date of customs clearance.
