The Indian economy is an agricultural centric economy. Agriculture in India is livelihood for a majority of the population as it employs more than 50% of the Indian workforce. But the sad part is producers and farmers are deprived in the agricultural process. They don’t have access to technology, knowledge and funds. To address this issue, the concept of Producer Company was introduced in 2002, to help improve the lives of farmers and producers.
Producer Company - Incorporation Certificate [Sample]
Producer company is a corporate body of producers, farmers and agriculturists with the objective of procurement, production, harvesting, grading, pooling, handling, marketing, selling or export of the members or import of goods and services for themselves.
In simple words, this type of company is formed with the aim to improve the lives of people associated with the agriculture industry by providing them access to technology, market, credit, etc.
It is registered as a public company under the Companies Act, 2013 and must include “Producer Company Limited'' as the last words of its name.
The objects of Producer Company given under Section 581B (as per the law) are as follows:
“The objects of the Producer Company shall relate to all or any of the following matters, namely : -
Producer Company is a separate legal entity which means it can acquire assets and incur debts on its own name. The directors have no obligation to the lenders of the company.
As the producer company is formed by individuals or institutions who are primary producers, the government has passed a special provision for giving loans to the producer members. For this specific purpose, NABARD Bank was established to provide financial assistance to producers and farmers via NABARD Loan.
There are certain tax benefits and exemptions for a producer company depending upon the agricultural activity it carries on.
As per the Companies Act, 2013, directors and shareholders have limited liability protection. So if there are any financial issues with the company, the assets of the director are secured and could not be seized by banks or departments.
A registered producer company can accept deposits in the form of fixed or recurring deposits and the company can advance loan to the members and farmers at lower rate of interest.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
