The Schedule cannot expand the statutory definition of agricultural produce; executive inclusion of those products, consequential market-fee demands, and associated orders were invalid, with refund of paid fees directed. Market-fee amendments did not directly or immediately restrict movement of goods under Article 301 and did not require prior Presidential sanction. The special deemed-sale definition validly prevents fee evasion and is compatible with the Sale of Goods Act.
