Tcha (Indian Tea)

TCHA, or Tea Cess and Habitation Allowance, is a concept related to Indian tea, particularly in tea plantations. It refers to the additional payments or taxes collected for the upkeep and maintenance of tea estates and worker housing. These charges ensure that the plantations remain operational and that workers have proper accommodations. TCHA contributes to the overall cost structure of tea production in India, supporting infrastructure and welfare programs for laborers, and helps sustain the quality and consistency of Indian tea products in the global market.
