Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification outlines amendments to the security deposit requirements for warehouse registration with the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA). It modifies the timeframe for security deposit submission and introduces the option for Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies to submit an Indemnity Bond in lieu of a security deposit. The notification is effective as of June 17, 2025. Key Points / Main Content: Amendment to Timeframe for Security Deposit Submission: * The deadline for submitting security deposits is reduced from twenty-one working days to seven working days. Indemnity Bond for Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies: * The WDRA may allow Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies to submit an Indemnity Bond as security deposit. * The Indemnity Bond format is provided in the newly inserted Third Schedule issued by the State Government. * The total security deposit required is fifty thousand rupees per warehouse covering both the dynamic and fixed security deposit. * The WDRA may adjust existing security deposits for these societies. * The security deposit is not released until six months after cancellation, rejection, or surrender of registration, or until all claims against it are satisfied. * The Authority reserves the right to revise the amount of security deposit. Clarification on Form of Security Deposit: * Clause 4 v is updated to include "e Bank Guarantee" after "Bank Guarantee," clarifying acceptable forms of security deposit. Indemnity Bond Details: * The Government agrees to indemnify the Authority against all actions, suits, proceedings, accounts, claims and demands for an amount as detailed at Annexure to the extent of limits. * The Government undertakes to keep the Authority indemnified for an amount until six months, after cancellation, rejection or surrender of registration or until after satisfaction of every claim whichever is later. * The entity shall be discharged of its obligation under Indemnity Bond in respect of a warehouse under specific conditions. * The entity undertakes not to increase the charges payable by depositors within the period of Negotiable Warehouse Receipts issued to them. Impact Analysis: Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies: * Impact: Can now submit an Indemnity Bond instead of a security deposit, potentially reducing financial burden. * Action Required: Submit an Indemnity Bond in the format specified in the Third Schedule along with the warehouse registration application. Warehousemen/Applicants: * Impact: Reduced timeframe to provide a security deposit. * Action Required: Provide the security deposit within seven working days of notification from the Authority. Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA): * Impact: New procedures for accepting Indemnity Bonds and revised timeframe for security deposits. * Action Required: Implement procedures for accepting and managing Indemnity Bonds and adjust timelines for security deposit collection.
