Please find below the feedback from Alliance for Sustainable & Holistic Agriculture (ASHA-Kisan Swaraj), on the Draft Seeds Bill 2025 that has been put out for public feedback till 11th December 2025. Apart from providing our comments and inputs in the prescribed format, we are also attaching a detailed presentation of our analysis as well as a letter sent to the Chairperson of PPV&FR Authority. We believe that the draft Bill should have been put out in various Indian languages and more time given for primary stakeholders to take part in the process and to make the pre-legislative consultation truly meaningful.

Part-B Comments/ Suggestions
| Sl. No. | Section | Issue | Comments/Suggestions |
| 1 | Objective of the Bill: “A Bill to provide for regulating the quality of seeds for sale and import, to facilitate production and supply of quality seeds and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto” (emphasis added) | Facilitating production and supply does not require a statutory regulatory regime. Promotion and facilitation get done through policies, schemes and programmes, which is already happening in support of the private seed industry starting from the very first Seeds Policy 1988. The Objective of bringing in a regulatory regime embedded in a statute is to protect farmers’ interests and rights in relation to seed. This therefore has to cover both quality regulation and price regulation. | The Objective should be re-formulated as:“A Bill to provide for regulating the quality, price of seed for sale in India, and the conditions and quantum of import of seed, and to ensure timely availability of appropriate and adequate quantities of diverse varieties of seed in an affordable manner to farmers, in a transparent and accountable regime, while protecting farmers’ customary rights related to seed and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.” Such an objective emphasises that the Seeds Bill will also regulate prices, will uphold farmers’ rights as provided in the PPV&FR Act 2001, and will fix accountability. |
| 2 | Sec.1(2) Proviso | Section 1(2) Proviso in the Draft Seeds Bill says: “Provided that nothing contained in this Act shall restrict the right of the farmer to grow, sow, re-sow, save, use, exchange, share or sell his farm seeds of kind or variety registered under this Act, except when he sells such seed or planting material under a brand name.” (emphasis added) If some Producer(s) do(es) not register, that should not in any way prevent farmers’ rights over any seed, to grow, sow, re-sow, save, use, exchange, share or sell seeds. The proviso of the Seeds Bill 2025 has to reflect the exact wording that is contained in the PPV&FRAct 2001’s Sec.39(1)(iv) verbatim. After all, those are rights enshrined in a law, and not just an exemption as framed here. | Therefore, Sec.1(2) should read as given below:“Save as otherwise provided in this Act, it shall apply to —Every dealer;Every distributor; and Every producer of seed, other than Farmer. Whereas a Farmer shall be deemed to be entitled to save, use, sow, resow, exchange, share or sell his farm produce including seed of a variety protected under the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act 2001 (53 of 2001) except when it comes to branded seed. Explanation: “branded seed” means any seed put in a package or any other container and labelled in a manner indicating that such seed is of a variety protected under the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act 2001. It does not include known landrace or farmers’ variety name, or name of the community seed bank or farmer collective’s name used merely for identification without any proprietary claim made on the same. |
| 3 | Sec.2(1) Definitions | Sec. 2(1)(b): “appellate authority” means the Appellate Authority appointed under Sec.28. This is inadequate, given that such an Appellate Authority has been imagined only at the state level, whereas an Appellate Authority should be present at the Central Govt level too. | Sec.2(1)(b): “Appellate Authority” is Central Appellate Authority or State Appellate Authority appointed under Sec.28, depending on review sought of decision of either Central Seeds Committee or State Seeds Committee or associated other decision-making committees. |
| 4 | Sec.2(1(c) “brand name” means a brand which is identifiable by a distinct mark, design or name. This can be removed since Explanation of “branded seed” is provided, verbatim as given in the PPV&FR Act 2001, in Sec.1(c) itself | DELETE DEFINITION OF BRAND NAME, SINCE BRANDED SEED EXPLANATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED, DRAWING FROM THE PPV&FR ACT 2001 (in Sl.No. 2 of our suggestions). | |
| 5 | “Sec.2(1)(l) “farmer” means any person who cultivates crops by cultivating the land himself; or cultivates crops by directly supervising the cultivation of land through any other person, with or without land ownership, and does not include any company, trader or dealer who engages in the procurement and sale of seeds on a commercial basis.” This Definition is not congruent with the definition given in PPV&FR Act 2001, and it is important to have the same definition, given that PPV&FR Act 2001 has already provided several unambiguous rights to Farmers. Further, the definition provided in the Draft Seeds Bill 2025 is likely to inadvertently criminalise certain customary practices of farmers with regard to seed, in the community seed sector, done jointly and/or severally, like Community Seed Banks. Customary practices necessarily involve more than one farmer! Therefore, the definition cannot be in the Singular. This Definition also reverts to a narrow framework for identifying a Farmer, even though the Govt of India expanded the definition to seed conservers/custodians in 2010 amendments to the 2004 Bill | Definition of Farmer should be inclusive of community level conservation/preservation/use of traditional varieties by farmers jointly, as in Community Seed Banks, similar to as given in PPV&FR Act 2001’s Sec.2(k): “farmer” means any person who—(i) cultivates crops by cultivating the land himself; or(ii) cultivates crops by directly supervising the cultivation of land through any other person;or(iii) conserves and preserves in-situ, severally or jointly, with any other person, any wild species ortraditional varieties or adds value to such wild species or traditional varieties through selectionand identification of their useful properties, and engages in non-commercial community-based seed activities; And does not include any company, trader or dealer who engages in the procurement and sale of seeds on a commercial basis but includes any Farmer Producer Organisation like rural women’s SHGs, FPCs and Cooperatives with seed businesses supported by government certification, within a geographical and turnover limit as prescribed. | |
| 6 | ADD DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY SEED SYSTEMS | While the objective of the Draft Seeds Bill 2025 is ostensibly the facilitation of quality seed production and supply, no mention is made of community seed systems that have sustained, and continue to sustain our food production and livelihood security of millions of farmers. Community Seed Systems have to be made visible in law. | Add 2(la): Community Seed Systems mean farmer-led systems of seed production, exchange, storage and distribution operating on a non-commercial local basis. |
| 7 | Regulate false advertising under Sec.2(1)(p) Misbranded | “Sec.2(1)(p) “misbranded” – a seed shall be misbranded if…..” Here, it would be useful if an explicit reference is made to the picture on the container, since illiterate farmers are likely to take their purchase decision based on such pictorial representation. | Sec.2(1)(p)(ii) to be revised as:(ii) the container containing the seeds or the label on the container bears any statement, design or picture regarding the quality or the variety of seed contained therein, which is false or misleading in any material particular or if the container is otherwise deceptive with respect to its contents; |
| 8 | ADD DEFINITION OF TRUTHFULLY LABELLED | Truthfully Labelled seed is that seed which has not been put through certification procedures or been certified, but is self-declared by the Producer as adhering to all the standards prescribed for that kind of seed. | |
| 9 | Sec.4 Composition of the Committee | Sec.4(1) refers to twenty seven Members in the Central Seed Committee. The number of farmer representatives being only 5 (one per zone, on rotation basis) is too low, and should include at least two farmers per Zone with one male farmer and one female farmer representative per zone. Similarly, the First Schedule should specify that the specialists or experts of seeds in the field of agriculture and horticulture as mentioned in (r) should be “independent”. There is also a need for an independent agroecology expert. | Sec.4(1): The Committee referred to in section 3 shall consist of a Chairperson and thirty three Members as per the composition specified in the first schedule. First Schedule Part A: The Central Seed Committee shall consist of the following Members, to be appointed or nominated by the Central Government, namely:- (p) the representatives of farmers, two each from the geographical zones of the country as specified in the Part B of the first schedule to this Act on a rotation basis; (r) two independent specialists or experts of seeds in the field of agriculture and horticulture. (s) one independent expert in ecology or agroecology |
| 10 | Sec. 5 Powers and Functions of the (Central Seeds) Committee | 5. The Committee shall be responsible for and shall have all the powers for the effective implementation of this Act as prescribed and shall advise the Central Government and the State Governments, on matters relating to:Seed programming and planning;Seed development, production, storage and processing;Export and import of seeds;Standards for registration, certification and seed testing;Registration of national seed varieties, state seed varieties and its enforcement; and Such other matters as may be prescribed. (emphasis supplied) When a State Committee is being constituted, the Central Seed Committee need not advise state governments on points (a), (b), state seed varieties in (e) etc. This is an over-stepping of the Union Government into the domain of state governments. Further, the Committee should also have the power to refuse registration of certain kinds of seeds and varieties (eg. synthetic seeds etc.) | Sec.5. The Committee shall be responsible for, and shall have all the powers for the effective implementation of this Act as prescribed and shall advise the Central Government and the State Governments, on matters relating to: Export and import of seeds; Standards and procedures for registration, certification and seed testing;Registration of national seed varieties and its enforcement;Advise the central government on refusal or rejection of registration of certain kinds and varieties of seeds on the basis that prevention of commercial exploitation of such kind or variety is necessary in the public interest; or to protect human beings, animals and plant life, or to avoid serious prejudice to the environment and Such other matters as may be prescribed. |
| 11 | Sec.7 Procedure of the Committee and its Sub-Committees | 7. The Committee may, subject to approval of the Central Government, make regulations consistent with the provisions of the Act and the rules made thereunder for the purpose of regulating its own procedure and the procedure of any Sub-Committee thereof. | This is not a sound law-making principle, that a Statutory Regulatory Committee is being left entirely to make regulations for the purpose of regulating its own procedure and the procedure of any Sub-Committee thereof, whereas it becomes important that the Bare Act itself should include some of those procedures to make sure that sound and accountable procedures are followed by the Committee. |
| 12 | Sec.10 Constitution of State Seed Committee | The State Seed Committee has not been given the power to advise the state government on refusal to register certain seed producers, seed processing units, seed dealers, distributors and plant nurseries; The State Seed Committee has also not been given the power to advise state government on regulating prices of seeds being sold in the state, both state seed varieties and other varieties. | 10(2). It shall be the duty of the State Seed Committee to – Advise the state government on seed programming and planning; Advise the state government on seed development, production, storage and processing;Advise the state government on refusal or rejection of registration of certain kinds and varieties of seeds in its jurisdiction on the basis that prevention of commercial exploitation of such kind or variety is necessary in the public interest or to protect human beings, animals and plant life, or to avoid serious prejudice to the environment;Advise the Registration Sub-Committee on registration of State Seed Varieties; Advise the State Government on registration of, or refusal to register seed producers, seed processing units, seed dealers, distributors and plant nurseries;Advise the state government on regulation of price of all registered seed varieties in its jurisdiction;Maintain, in each district, a list of seed dealers, distributors, seed producers, seed processing units and plant nurseries;Seek information from persons engaged in the production, supply, distribution, trade or commerce in seeds of any kind or variety regarding stocks, prices, sales and other information in the manner as may be prescribed;Seek and maintain information from seed producers, regarding full details of seed-multiplying farmers being engaged by seed producers, and the procurement prices being paid to them;Advise the State Government and the Committee on all matters arising out of the administration and implementation of this Act; and Carry out other functions assigned to, by, or under this Act by the state governments. |
| 13 | Chapter III Registration of Kinds or Varieties of Seeds : Sec.11 National Register on Seed Varieties | Sec.11(2): The Registrar shall, within such intervals and in such manner as may be prescribed, publish the list of Kinds or Varieties which have been registered during that interval. Such a list should be digitally searchable too, and to maintain transparency, such a Register should be maintained as a digital portal. | Sec.11(2). The Registrar shall, within such intervals and in such manner as may be prescribed (to also include a digital searchable registry placed in the public domain), publish the list of Kinds or Varieties which have been registered during that interval and cumulatively till that point of time. |
| 14 | Sec.13 Registration of any kinds or variety. (bad english seems to have become the new normal) | Sec.13(3) – refusal to recommend should be on the basis of other grounds also, apart from VCU assessment | Sec.13(3). Registration or Refusal to Register any Kind or Variety: Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the Registration Sub-Committee may recommend to register any kind or variety on the basis of the results of multi-locational trials for such period as may be prescribed to assess the value for cultivation and use of that kind or variety; refuse to recommend or defer the decision to recommend any kind or variety on the basis of results of multi-locational trials for such period as may be prescribed to assess the value for cultivation and use of that kind or variety;Refuse to recommend to register any kind or variety on the basis that prevention of commercial exploitation of such kind or variety is necessary in the public interest or to protect human beings, animals and plant life, or to avoid serious prejudice to the environment ADD Sec.13(4): All applications and data submitted for registration shall be made publicly available, including origin, breeding method, traits, results of evaluation and expected performance under given growing conditions, and places for which recommended. ADD Sec.13(5): Registration shall not be granted to any genetically modified or gene-edited variety without prior approval under relevant biosafety statutes with full public disclosure. |
| 15 | Sec.14 Procedure for Registration | “Enquiry…. with regard to safety of a variety to human beings and animals” is an unusual reference for registration of seed varieties, and it leads us to assume that seeds born out of gene technologies are being referred to here. | Assessment of safety to human beings and animals before registration is not a bad idea. However, such an enquiry cannot be left to the Registration Sub-Committee ‘as it deems fit’, and Rules have to be laid down for such safety assessment so that the enquiry is objective and scientifically robust, comprehensive, long term etc.. Moreover, this safety assessment cannot replace the regulation that happens for certain seed varieties under Environment Protection Act 1986. |
| 16 | Sec.15 Revocation, Suspension and Withdrawal of Registration | Reasons cited under Sec.15(1)(c) should be the basis for refusal to register, or rejection of registration, in the earlier section (14), and not just Revocation. | This has already been addressed in the suggestions given above. (Sl.8, 10 and 12 above) |
| 17 | Sec.16 Evaluation of Performance | Sec.16(1) Accreditation by Central Seed Committee of “other organisations” for conducting trials to assess VCU of any kind or variety should specifically say “other independent organisations” to avoid conflict of interest which will in turn protect farmers’ interests. | Sec.16(1): The Committee may accredit eligible centres for conducting trials to assess the Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) of any kind or variety, which may include the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Central Agricultural Universities, State Agricultural Universities and other INDEPENDENT organisations fulfilling such eligibility requirements as may be prescribed. |
| 18 | Sec.16(3) – Recognition, by notification, of organisations established outside India for conducting trials to assess VCU is a complete mockery of the scientific | DELETE SEC.16(3) | |
| 19 | Sec.17(8) (Central Accreditation System) | “To promote ease of doing business”, a Central Accreditation System for companies operating in multiple states is being proposed. This is completely objectionable. A government is answerable to its citizens (farmers in this case), and not to the market (seed industry), and cannot be giving legal entitlements to the seed industry on ease of doing business! | DELETE THE WHOLE PROVISION, and CONSEQUENTLY, DELETE SECTION 18(7) ALSO. |
| 20 | Sec.19 Plant Nursery to be Registered | Sec.19(1) Proviso related to exemption for small plant nurseries from registration should have a ceiling fixed on volume and value of the plant nursery business. This should primarily be applied to non-farmers under the new statute. Exemption notification should be put out by state governments, since they are the best-suited to decide which kinds of nurseries for what species should be exempted. | Sec.19(1) proviso: Provided that the State Government may, by notification, and subject to such conditions as it may specify therein, exempt small plant nurseries run by traditional horticultural societies, tribal nurseries and community run nurseries, with business within a specified geography and turnover, from the registration. |
| 21 | Sec.22 – Regulation of sale price in emergent situation | Regulation of price being embedded into the new statute has been a major demand of farmers’ unions as well as state governments for more than two decades now. Such regulation being limited to only “emergent situations” does not help, since seed prices are rising steadily, and it is reflected in the value of the seed industry in India also. Further, price regulation for all seeds allows the government to protect the interests of seed-multiplying farmers, since the price-range-fixing formula will involve the procurement price of the Seed Producer when they buy back seed from seed-multiplying farmers, thereby protecting their interests also. | Sec.22. The Central Government and the state governments shall regulate sale price of seeds of central seed varieties or state seed varieties as the case may be, in such manner as may be prescribed. The Central and State Governments shall also conduct annual audits of seed prices and trait fees, and publish the findings. EXPLANATION TO BE DELETED. |
| 22 | Sec.24 Accreditation of Seed Certification Agencies | State Government, to accredit the organisation owned or controlled by the state government, need not have to get prior approval of the Central Government, and the condition around prior approval by central government has therefore been removed in the last column | Sec.24(1). The Central Seed Committee or as the case may be, the State Government, may accredit the organisations owned or controlled by the Central Government or the State Governments respectively, or any other INDEPENDENT organisations to carry out certification, on the fulfilment of such criteria as may be prescribed. |
| 23 | “Any other organisation” to be accredited for carrying out certification on the fulfilment of certain criteria should be an Independent organsiation | ||
| 24 | Sec.25 Grant of certificate by Seed Certification Agency | Sec.25(3) states that “the Seed Certification Agency shall, after such enquiry as it thinks fit and after satisfying itself that the seed to which the application relates conforms to the Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards, grant a certificate in such form and on such conditions as may be prescribed.” How can Certification Agencies decide on their own, what sort of “enquiry” do they deem fit, on a scientific matter? Are there no norms that all certification agencies should follow, in terms of number and timing of physical visits, lab tests to be done etc.? | Sec.25(3): On receipt of an application under sub-section (1), the Seed Certification Agency shall, after following such standards and procedures as laid down by the Central Seed Committee and after satisfying itself that the seed to which the application relates conforms to the Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards, grant a certificate in such form and on such conditions as may be prescribed. |
| 25 | Section 27 Recognition of seed certification agencies in territory outside India. | It is completely unclear why and how recognition of foreign seed certification agencies would be required, and how such certification would even be applicable for India. | DELETE SECTION 27 COMPLETELY. |
| 26 | Sec.28 Review and Appeal to Appellate Authority | It is strange that under Sec.28(1), the Central Seed Committee is being allowed to review its own decision on any appeal application or suo motu. | Sec.28(1): Review and Appeal to Central and State Appellate Authorities: The Central Government, by notification, will appoint a Central Appellate Authority consisting of at least 3 persons, including a farmers’ representative. Any application from any interested person with an appeal to review any decision of the Central Seed Committee may be reviewed by the Central Appellate Authority within such time and such manner as may be prescribed. The Central Appellate Authority may review such a decision only on the grounds of –Discovery of new and important matter or evidence, which, after the exercise of due diligence, was not within the knowledge of the applicant or could not be produced by him at the time when the decision was made; orMistake or error apparent on the face of the record; or Any other sufficient reason, to be recorded in writing by the Central Appellate Authority. DELETE “NO SUCH ORDER SHALL BE REVIEWED MORE THAN ONCE.” Section 28(2): Any person aggrieved by an order of the Registration Sub-Committee, or any other interested person, may prefer an appeal to the Central Appellate Authority within such time and such manner as may be prescribed. The appeal may be filed on any one or more of the following grounds -Error of law or fact in the order appealed against;Violation of principles of natural justice or prescribed procedure;Any other sufficient ground to be recorded in writing by the Appellate Authority. The Central Appellate Authority may, after giving the appellant an opportunity of being heard, pass such order as it deems fit, including confirming, modifying or setting aside the order of the Registration Sub-Committee. |
| 27 | Sec.28(3)(a): this body should be called the State Appellate Authority. Sec.28(3)(b) proposing a one person Appellate Authority at the state government level is not correct. Such an Authority should have at least three people. | Sec.28(3)(a): State Appellate Authority: Any person aggrieved by a decision of the state government, or any interested person, as the case may be, within thirty days from the date on which the decision is communicated to him or to the public, prefer an appeal to such authority, hereinafter referred to as the State Appellate Authority appointed in the manner prescribed. Sec.28(3)(b): A State Appellate Authority shall consist of at least three persons, one of whom is a representative of farmers. | |
| 28 | Sec.32 Powers of Seed Inspectors | Sec.32(1) appears to be empowering Seed Inspectors to draw samples from Farmers, when it says “a purchaser…after delivery of such seed to him”. Moreover, not drawing samples from Producers, Processing Units etc., but drawing samples from dealers and transporters is letting any real culprits get away. | Sec.32(1): The Seed Inspector may, in such manner as may be prescribed —Take samples of any seed of any kind or variety from —Any Producer organising seed production;Any seed processing unit;Any distributor or dealer, or any person stocking or storing seed for sale;Any person selling such seed, other than a Farmer;Any person who is in the course of conveying, delivering or preparing to deliver such seed to a purchaser or a consignee |
| 29 | Sec.33 Import of Seeds | Sec.33(1)(a) – Import of seeds is subject to several laws in India, and not just the Quarantine regulations. It is important to ensure that no GM (including genome edited) seeds are smuggled into India clandestinely, and the Seeds Bill 2025 has to make a mention of all the applicable laws in that context. | Sec.33(1). All import of seeds —Shall be subject to the provisions of the Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order 2003, or any corresponding order made under Section 3 of the Destructive Insects and Pests Act 1914, and shall also be subject to the provisions of the Environment Protection Act 1986, the Foreign Trade Development and Regulation Act 1992 and any other applicable law time being in force. |
| 30 | Sec.33(1)(c) – it is quite shocking that the Govt of India is willing to risk the livelihoods of our farmers, and our food security, by being open to registering seeds on the basis of information furnished by the importer on the basis of results of multi-locational trials conducted in the exporting country! | DELETE SEC.33(1)(c) COMPLETELY. | |
| 31 | Sec.33(2) – what exactly is “trial” purposes? At what scale will a trial be allowed? How is it different from “Research purpose”? This entire provision is dangerous given that it lends itself to multiple interpretations and India’s agriculture cannot be jeopardised in this manner, when stringent regulations are being proposed for domestic players. | Sec.33(2) The Central Government may, by notification, permit to import an unregistered kind or variety in such quantity and subject to fulfilling of such conditions as may be specified therein for research purposes, and subject to any other laws as applicable for time being in force. (Deleted “Trial purposes”) | |
| 32 | Sec.34 Punishment for trivial offence | There cannot be anything termed as “trivial” offence. The Offences can be seen as Minor, Major and Severe Offence. For instance, failing to affix label on the seed packet, when counterfeit seeds are sold, cannot be considered as Trivial Offence. Similar is the case for selling seed in non-recommended areas. (Second Schedule, Part A, Serial Number 3 and 6). | Sec.34(1): Procedure-Contravention related Offences: if any person commits any offence as specified in Second Schedule Part A, he shall be served with a written notice for ……………. Second Schedule Part A: Procedure-Contravention related Offences:DELETE Serial Number 3 and 6, and add “who fail to affix label on seed packet” and “who sell registered variety of seeds to farmers in an area which is not recommended for cultivation in that particular area” to Part B Minor Offence list. |
| 33 | Sec.34(2) Punishment for Minor Offence | The punishment is too meagre to be a deterrent, whereas the Offences listed can cause substantial damage to farmer livelihoods. | Increase the punishment to ten lakhs and twenty lakhs in (2)(a) and its proviso. |
| 34 | Sec.34(3) Punishment for Major Offence | Sec.34(3) – the punishment is too low and not deterrent enough, while crop losses become a matter of life and death for vulnerable farmers. | Increase the penalty to fifty lakh rupees; with first proviso increased to one crore rupees with cancellation of registration along with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years. DELETE SECOND PROVISO COMPLETELY |
| 35 | Sec.35 Cognizance of Offences | Sec. 35(1) proposal of authorising through notification any officer (in singular) is completely inadequate to give justice to any affected player, whether it is a Farmer or a seed supply chain entity. There is a need for a Adjudicating Committee, which includes representatives of the farmers. | Sec.35(1) (a) Adjudication Committee: The Central Government, State Government or the Union Territory administration as the case may be, for the purposes of determining the penalties under Section 34 and for determining the compensation under (new) Section 38, shall by notification, set up an Adjudicating Committee. Such an Adjudicating Committee will be at the district level, with the inclusion of an authorised officer, a seed scientist, two representatives of farmers and a representative of the seed producers/dealers/ distributors of the area. The Adjudicating Committee shall be authorised to hold an inquiry and impose penalty and determine compensation (based on cost of seed, loss of anticipated yield and additional crop management expenditure that the farmer incurred), in the manner as may be prescribed, after giving any person concerned a reasonable opportunity of being heard. |
| 36 | Sec.35(2) | This provision bars civil courts from looking into cases filed with grievances and complaints. This is completely unacceptable, especially when no provision for compensation has been made in this draft Bill, for farmers who incur losses due to seed quality failures. This Bill itself should have provisions for Compensation, in addition to deletion on the bar on courts. | DELETE SEC.35(2) COMPLETELY. |
| 37 | Sec.36 Forfeiture of property | It is unclear what the forfeiture to the Central Government would mean, physically. Even for destruction of some seeds, it will have to be the state government which needs to take over such seed after conviction. | Revise the provision to make it into a forfeiture to the state government. |
| 38 | ADD A NEW SECTION FOR COMPENSATION | A new provision, Sec.38 should be added to include Compensation related provisions. The remaining sections in Draft Seeds Bill 2025 will have to be re-numbered. | NEW Sec.38 SETTING UP OF A COMPENSATION FUND FOR COMPENSATION TO LOSS-INCURRING FARMERS: The Central Government and the state Governments will set up a Seed Compensation Fund at the state level, with 60:40 contribution respectively. Such a Fund will also receive all the penalties collected under this Act at the appropriate level. Where the seed of a registered kind or variety is sold to a farmer, the Producer shall disclose to the farmer the expected performance of such kind or variety under given conditions, in such manner as is prescribed, and if such registered seed fails to provide the expected performance under such given conditions, the farmer may approach the Adjudicating Committee set up under Section 35, and claim Compensation from such Producer, Dealer or Distributor as the case may be, through the prescribed procedure, as determined by the Adjudicating Committee in a timebound manner. |
| 39 | Sec.38 Power of Central Government to give directions to State Governments and Committee | Sec.38(3) wherein the Central Government is empowered, with its decision being final on whether any question is one of policy or not, is violating the Constitutional schema of subjects. | Depending on particular topics or subjects within this statutory schema, the Power of the Central Government under this existing Sec.38 should be limited to only those provisions. |
| 40 | Sec.43 Power of Central Government to make rules | Sec.43(2) might be stepping onto the state government’s constitutional authority in making Rules for even topics that are falling under the state government domain. | Sec.43 should have two different sub-provisions. (1) Power of Central Government to make rules and (2) Power of State Government to make rules. (1) Power of Central Government to make Rules is limited to only those topics that pertain to the Central Seed Committee (and discharge of its designated functions) and Central Seed Varieties. All topics that are falling under state jurisdiction, whether it is appointment of Seed Inspectors, or setting up of state seed testing laboratories, or accredited seed certification agencies in their jurisdiction, or registration of state seed varieties, or refusal to register certain varieties or certain Producers should all be in the ambit of state government to make rules and notify. |
| 41 | ADD A NEW SECTION AS THE VERY LAST SECTION | Commercial Seed Trade regulation is not to be seen as more important to other statutes that India has enacted in compliance with international agreements. The new section being added will prevent the Seeds Act from undermining India’s globally recognised farmers’ rights framework, and will re-assert the sovereign rights of the country over its biodiversity. | ADD: Nothing in this Act shall derogate from the provisions of the Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights Act 2001, or the Biological Diversity Act 2002. |
