Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the Warehousing (Development and Regulation) Registration of Warehouses (Amendment) Rules, 2023. These rules amend the Warehousing (Development and Regulation) Registration of Warehouses Rules, 2017.
  • The amendment revises the minimum net worth requirements for warehouse registration with the Authority and modifies certain documentation requirements for depositors who are Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs).

Key Changes

  • Revised Net Worth Requirements: The Seventh Schedule of the 2017 Rules is replaced with updated minimum net worth requirements for warehouse registration based on storage capacity. For warehouses with capacity up to 500 MT, the minimum net worth is ₹0.04 crore. For capacity between 501-1,000 MT, it is ₹0.08 crore; 1,001-1,500 MT, it is ₹0.12 crore; and 1,501-2,000 MT, it is ₹0.16 crore. For capacity above 2001 MT, the required net worth is calculated as storage capacity (in MT) * ₹1000, with a maximum cap of ₹50 crore.
  • Exemption for Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies, and Self Help Groups (SHGs): FPOs, Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies and SHGs are exempt from the specified net worth requirements, provided they do not have a deficit net worth.
  • Depositor Clarification: The term 'applicant' is replaced with 'depositor' in sub-paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of paragraph (A) in the Eighth Schedule.
  • HUF Depositor Requirements: A new sub-paragraph (6) is inserted in paragraph (A) of the Eighth Schedule, specifying additional documentation required if the depositor is a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). This includes the PAN of the HUF and Karta, the deed of declaration of HUF and list of coparceners, and proof of address of the Karta.
