Section 2 of WC(S)A : Section 2: Application Of The Act With Respect To Notified Commodities

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a business, "Fresh Produce Pvt. Ltd.", operates in a state included in the Schedule of The Warehousing Corporations (Supplementary) Act, 1965. This company wants to store a large quantity of perishable goods, such as vegetables and fruits, in a government-regulated warehouse. Section 2 of The Warehousing Corporations Act, 1962, defines the types of goods that can be stored in such warehouses. With the application of the 1965 Supplementary Act, the definition of goods in the 1962 Act is expanded for those states in the Schedule. This means that Fresh Produce Pvt. Ltd. does not need to consider whether the perishable goods fall under the legislative power of Parliament as per entry 33 in List III of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution. They can confidently store their goods in the warehouse without worrying about the specific legislative classification of their commodities.
