The pesticide dealer's registers: Form XIII, Form XIV, and the expiry view they don't give you
The statutory sales register (Form XIII) and monthly return (Form XIV) under Rule 15 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971 — columns transcribed from government scans — plus a batch-wise stock & expiry register that catches season-crossing stock before it dies on the shelf.
What's inside
The statutory forms
- Form XIII sales register — all 10 columns as printed, including batch no. and date of expiry
- Form XIV monthly return with its verification block (due within 15 days of month close)
- Rule 36 storage requirements quoted: separate premises or locked almirahs
- Which sales go in which form varies by state — the sheet says so, honestly
The stock & expiry register (operational)
- Batch-wise rows: product, active ingredient, batch, supplier, expiry
- Days-to-expiry countdown and a season-aware status ladder (120/240 days)
- Value tiles: total stock, expiring value, expired value
- Clearly labelled NOT statutory — it is the view the forms don't give you
