Section 7 of PA 1934 : Section 7: No Licence Needed For Transport Or Storage Of Limited Quantities Of Petroleum Class B Or Petroleum Class C

Explanation using Example

Imagine a small business owner, John, operates a local gardening service and uses several lawnmowers and other equipment that require petrol, a type of petroleum Class B, to function. John stores petrol in containers at his business premises to refuel the equipment. As per Section 7 of The Petroleum Act, 1934, John does not need to obtain a licence for storing this petrol because he ensures that the total quantity at his premises never exceeds 2,500 litres, and each of his containers has a capacity of less than 1,000 litres. This provision allows John to operate his business without the additional administrative burden of obtaining a petroleum storage licence, as long as he adheres to the specified quantity limits.
