Tea is one of the industries, which by an Act of Parliament comes under the control of the Union Govt. The genesis of the Tea Board India dates back to 1903 when the Indian Tea Cess Bill was passed. The Bill provided for levying a cess on tea exports - the proceeds of which were to be used for the promotion of Indian tea both within and outside India.

Tea Board Registration is required for businesses involved in the production, processing, and export of tea in India. Issued by the Tea Board of India, this registration ensures that the tea complies with quality standards and regulations set by the board. It allows businesses to access government benefits, participate in international markets, and maintain credibility in the tea industry. The registration helps ensure the traceability, authenticity, and quality of Indian tea in global markets.
