Cancellation/Suspension: Can occur in cases of misrepresentation, fraud, or violation of any terms/conditions [7, 8]. 2.

Working Outside Industrial Premises (Section 76) [11] Permitted Outside Processes: The State Government can permit specific activities like the wetting or cutting of tobacco leaves outside the main premises, subject to conditions and record-keeping [11].

Exemptions for Private Dwellings & Child Labor Protections (Section 77) [12] Private Dwelling Houses: Self-employed persons working with dependent family members in their own homes are exempt from this Part [12, 13].
