Street Vendors Protection — Revision Notes

Updated 19 Oct 2026

⚡ 30-Second Revision

2014 Act: survey, certify, participate, regulate. TVC vendor share ≥40%; women are one-third of vendor representatives. Certificate ≠ land title; loan ≠ certificate.

2-Minute Revision

The Act combines livelihoods with regulation through surveys, certificates and Town Vending Committees. Representation fractions use different denominators. Duties concerning cleanliness and civic amenities accompany protection. Relocation follows the statutory route, while reasoned decisions and grievance mechanisms support accountability. PM SVANidhi addresses credit rather than the legal right to occupy or own a site. Evaluate actual functioning, not document counts alone.

5-Minute Revision

Calculate vendor and women-vendor representation in a thirty-member Committee at the minimum vendor share. Trace a vendor from survey to certificate and a later relocation decision. Identify where notice, reasons and grievance mechanisms matter. Explain why a loan sanction cannot establish land title or completion of the statutory survey.

Vyyuha Quick Recall

Survey, certificate, committee, conditions: four anchors for livelihood protection and regulation.
