* Published on 1 January 1961
* Commenced on 1 January 1961
 Bombay Cotton (Statistics)  (Extension) Act, 1960
 
 Maharashtra Act No. 4 of 1961
 
 Statement of Objects and Reasons. - The Bombay Cotton (Statistics)  Act, 1946, provides for facilitating the collection of statistics of stocks of Indian raw cotton and for that purpose requires every owner of a cotton-ginning factory or a cotton pressing factory and every trade in cotton to furnish to the Director of Agriculture returns of cotton in his possession in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The Central Provinces and Berar Cotton (Statistics) Act, 1947, was a corresponding law in force in the Vidarbha area of the State. There was, however, no such enactment in force in the Marathwada area of the State. It was therefore necessary to enact a uniform law on the subject. This Act is designed to achieve the above object.
 
 For Statement of Objects and Reasons, See Maharashtra Government Gazette, 1960, Part V, p. 158.
