      Solution

      The government regularly updates stock limits for pulses, but for 2025–26, the limits are 200 MT for wholesalers and for big chain retailers per depot, and 5 MT for regular retailers for each variety. Importers must declare inventory and reduce their stock to within limits within 30 days after customs clearance, which curbs hoarding and ensures market transparency.
