Overview of government proposals:
FTPC Act (APMC Bypass Act):
1. We can enable the State Governments to collect market cess / duty on out-of-market transactions, if they so desire.
2. We can enable state governments to register traders and enforce rules for the same. According to the present Act, the registration of merchants, the system of trade and payment is vested in the power of the Union Government.
3. Apart from the existing mechanisms in the farmers law, citizens will be able to go to courts for dispute resolution.
FAPAFS Act (Contract Farming Promotion Act):

5. No structure built on the farmers' land under the contract by the contract sponsor can be mortgaged nor can the sponsor have any control over the structure. The structure must either be removed by the sponsor, or the ownership will remain with the farmer after the contract period ends.
6. We shall make it clear that the land of the farmers cannot be annexed under any circumstances.
MSP and Purchase:
7. The central government will give written assurance that the current procurement levels of the government on MSP will also be kept in future.
Electricity Act (Amendment) Bill:
8. In the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, there will be no change in the existing system of filling the electricity bill by the farmers.
Air Quality Ordinance:
9. Farmers' concerns about the provisions of the Air Quality Ordinance will be taken into consideration.
