Uttar Pradesh : Gonda sugar commissioner warns mills against selling stock above rate via credit notes - ChiniMandi

The office of the Assistant Sugar Commissioner, Gonda, has directed all sugar mills under its jurisdiction to stop under-recording sale prices in invoices and using credit notes to sell sugar above the declared rate, warning that the practice could push up retail sugar prices in the open market.

In a letter dated September 15, 2026, addressed to occupiers and managing directors of sugar mills at Tulsipur, Balrampur, Itai Maida, Mankapur, Babhnan, Mejaipur, Kundarkhi, Chiltwaria, Parle, Nanpara,, Jarwal Road, Rojagaon, Motinagar, Masoudha, Akbarpur and Sultanpur, the Assistant Sugar Commissioner, Gonda, Umanath Tiwari, cited an earlier communication from the office of the Commissioner of Cane and Sugar, Uttar Pradesh (Letter No. 54/Cane/Sugar Stock), which had flagged the practice at the state level.

According to the letter, some sugar mills in the state were found using credit notes to sell sugar, showing a lower price on the sale invoice while collecting a higher amount from buyers, a practice with the potential to affect open-market retail prices. The state commissioner’s office had directed that any mill found not recording the actual sale price in invoices, showing discrepancies through “parchi” manipulation, or selling against credit notes would face punitive action under the rules, the letter said.

The Gonda sugar commissioner’s office directed all mills in its circle to strictly comply with these invoicing and credit-note norms, warning that non-compliance would invite regulatory action against the mill concerned. Copies of the circular were marked to the Additional Sugar Commissioner, Uttar Pradesh, in Lucknow, and to the Deputy Sugar Commissioner for the eastern and central zones, for necessary follow-up action.
