If a particular plant species is placed under Schedule VI of The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, it implies that a license is required to cultivate that plant.

Schedule VI of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 lists specific plant species. The cultivation, collection, extraction, and sale of these plants and their derivatives require a license from the Chief Wild Life Warden or an authorized officer. Without a license, such activities are prohibited.

The purpose of placing plants under Schedule VI is generally to protect certain rare, endangered, or commercially important plant species from unsustainable exploitation. Examples of plants listed under Schedule VI include Pitcher Plant, Blue Vanda, Red Vanda, Kuth, Lady’s Slipper Orchid, and plants of the genus Renanthera.
