Based on the Essential Commodities Act 1955, any action on imposing stock limit shall be based on price rise, and an order for regulating stock limit of any agricultural produce may be issued under this Act only if there is:

1. A hundred percent increase in the retail price of horticultural produce.

2. Fifty percent increase in the retail price of non-perishable agricultural foodstuffs.

The correct statement/s is/are:

These specific triggers for imposing stock limits were introduced through the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020. The amendment aimed to modernize the 1955 Act by ensuring that stock limits are only imposed under "extraordinary circumstances" (such as war, famine, extraordinary price rise, or natural calamity) to provide more certainty to farmers and processors.
