UEM registration is not required for tea gardens.

The Tea Act, 1953 was enacted to provide for the control of the tea industry by the Union Government in pursuance of certain international agreements.

It established control over the cultivation and export of tea from India. The primary regulatory authority for tea in the country, the Tea Board of India, was set up under this Act, and a customs duty was levied on the tea exported from India.

The Tea (Marketing) Control Order of 2003 was the successor to the Tea (Marketing) Control Order, 1984. According to the TMCO 1984,-

No person can carry out manufacturing activities except under valid registration from the Tea Board for a unit controlled and operated by him.

Shareholders such as manufacturers, brokers and auction organisers were required to obtain a license or registration before participating in or conducting auctions.

The Tea Act of 1953 was created to regulate the tea industry in India and control tea cultivation and export. It set up the Tea Board of India, which oversees the tea industry, and imposed a customs duty on tea exports. The Tea (Marketing) Control Order (TMCO) of 2003 replaced the 1984 version. According to TMCO 1984, anyone wanting to manufacture tea must have a valid registration from the Tea Board for their unit.
