Why will anyone pay the Mandi cess if they are not operating in a Mandi?

Because the APMC has to pay the cess and they supply India's PDS and various important things? Or would you have them do away with those too?

I would have people directly pay to PDS instead going through another beaurocratic and potentially corrupt layer.
