This law regulates the establishment and operation of storage facilities throughout the entire state of Rajasthan by requiring warehouse operators to obtain government-issued licenses. It sets strict safety and competency standards to ensure goods are stored securely, while also mandating formal receipts that protect depositors’ property rights and allow them to secure loans against their stored assets. By formalizing these rules, the act promotes trust and protects the interests of businesses and individuals who rely on a safe and standardized system for keeping their merchandise.
