ed on payment of the duty sanctioned, viz.:
If the quantity of the drug does not exceed 10 Indian maunds
Rs. 5
For every additional 2 Indian maunds or fraction thereof
Re. 1
A copy of the permit granted is sent by post to the Collector of the district from which
the drug is to be brought.

attends at the railway station, checks the weight of the packages, and if found correct, escorts
the packages to the farmer's godown. From the godown the farmer sends the drugs to his
shops under permits, a copy of which is forwarded, marked G.*
