In short,  'Commission agent'.

Arhatia' means agent who is doing business on behalf of others.

Thank you so much for your reply sir .

May i know in detail sir

(1) A kachha arahtia acts only as an agent of his constituent and never acts as a principal.  A pacca arahtia, on the other hand, is entitled to substitute his own goods towards the contract made for the constituent and buy the constituent’s goods on his personal account and thus he acts as regards his constituent.

(2) A kachha arahtia brings a privity contract between his constituent and the third party so that each becomes liable to the other.  The pacca arahtia, on the other hand, makes himself liable upon the contract not only to the third party but also to his constituent.

(3) Though the kachha arahtia does not communicate the name of his constituent to the third party, he does communicate the name of the third party to the constituent.  In other words, he is an agent for an unnamed principal.  The pacca arahtia, on the other hand, does not inform his constituent as to the third party with whom he has entered into a contract on his behalf.

(4) The remuneration of a kachha arahtia consists solely of commission and he is not interested in the profits and losses made by his constituent as is not the case with the pacca arahtia.

(5) The kachha arahtia, unlike the pacca arahtia, does not have any dominion over the goods.

(6) The kachha arahtia has no personal interest of his own when he enters into transaction and his interest is limited to the commission agent’s charges and certain out of pocket expenses whereas a pacca arahtia has a personal interest of his own when he enters into a transaction.

(7) In the event of any loss, the kachha arahtia is entitled to be indemnified by his principal as is not the case with pacca arahtia.
