The Tea Board of India has cancelled the licence of 24 customer gadgets in South India for various violations.

“We had issued show purpose notices to forty six consumer devices throughout the Southern states looking for their reason behind non submission of the mandatory quarterly returns in Form F as this is violation of diverse provisions of the relevant law,” Tea Board Executive Director Dr M Balaji said.

As 24 of them did now not reply, 2nd set of Notices have been issued to them to provide possibility of being heard, he said.

After precise enquiry and verification, their licences had been ordered to be cancelled, he disclosed.

“The quarterly returns supplied by using the shoppers are important to regulate the manufacturing and deliver in the market. They are critical for putting forward the monthly average fee for small farmers,” Dr Balaji defined.

He said that the South Zonal Office of the Tea Board positioned in Coonoor has been undertaking regulatory measures to make sure the nice of the made tea produced via the factories and the Notices to the consumers have been issued as a part of this attempt.

Besides this, pattern checking by using the auctioneers is often carried out. The Board is closely tracking the amount offered within the auction platform and the filing of the various statutory returns by means of the stakeholders, he stated.

“Substantial efforts have been taken to comprise adulteration and extra use of tea waste within the final products. As many as 140 notices to Bought leaf factories, fifty eight notices to property factories inclusive of country-owned estates and factories, 14 notices to auctioneers and 30 notices to tea waste processing units were issued. Of this, forty four licenses had been cancelled; in the closing cases, primarily based at the gravity of the deviations discovered, suitable advisory notices have been issued,” Dr Balaji disclosed.
