This Act regulates the operation of cotton ginning and pressing factories within the Bombay region. Its primary objective is to ensure the quality of cotton by prohibiting fraudulent practices, such as watering or mixing seeds and foreign substances into the cotton. It mandates that factory owners obtain a valid license to operate and submit regular production returns to the government. Furthermore, the Act empowers authorities to inspect factories, fix maximum service rates to protect farmers, and penalize those who violate these standards. For the ordinary citizen, this law safeguards the integrity of the cotton supply chain and ensures fair trade practices.
