FAQs

Why regulate selling by place and time?

To protect revenue (duties/fees), ensure inspection/quality control, manage congestion and security, and suppress clandestine trade.

What does asvakaraṇa imply administratively?

Operating outside one’s registered role—e.g., unlicensed trading, impersonation of a permitted seller, or evasion of mandated procedures.
