Haryana Bans Kachchi Parchi, J-Form Now Must for Every Mandi Deal

The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board has made a strict rule for all mandis in the state. The use of “kachchi parchi” (unofficial slips) is now completely banned. From now on, every crop sale and purchase must be done with a proper J-Form. This step has been taken to make mandi deals clear and to protect farmers from loss. Earlier, many deals were done without any legal record, which created problems for farmers at the time of payment.

Complaints of Farmer Loss Led to This Decision

The board had received many complaints that some commission agents were using unofficial slips during crop purchase. These slips had no legal value, so farmers and buyers did not have proof of the deal.

In case of any dispute, farmers could not claim the correct price of their crop. According to experts from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, farmers were facing losses of up to 30–40% due to this system. To stop this, the board has made J-Form compulsory so that every deal has a proper and valid record.

Strict Orders to Officials and Arhtiyas

Following directions from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the board has asked all mandi secretaries and officers to enforce the rule strictly. They have been told to ensure that no arhtiya uses kachchi parchi anymore. Every transaction must be recorded through J-Form only. Officials have also warned that if any agent is found breaking the rule, strict action will be taken against them.

24-Hour Mandi Entry to Reduce Waiting

In another relief step, mandis in areas like Charkhi Dadri will now stay open 24 hours during the rabi season. Earlier, farmers had to stand in long lines for gate passes and follow fixed timings. Now, they can bring their crops anytime, day or night. Staff will work in shifts, and all services like gate pass, biometric check, and other mandi work will continue round the clock. Security staff will also remain on duty to maintain order.

Wheat Purchase Delayed Due to High Moisture

At present, wheat arriving in mandis has high moisture. Because of this, government procurement has not started yet. Officials have advised farmers to dry their crops properly before bringing them to mandi. Purchase will begin once the moisture level comes within the set limit, so that farmers can get timely payment.

Farmers to Get Clear Records and Better Payment

These changes, making J-Form compulsory and keeping mandis open 24 hours will directly help farmers. They will now get proper proof of sale and a fair price for their crops. At the same time, long waiting hours in mandis will also be reduced. Overall, these steps will make mandi work more clearly and farmer-friendly.
