When did the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act come into effect?
1999
A Geographical Indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and qualities due to that origin.
To meet its obligations under the WTO TRIPS Agreement, India enacted the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act in 1999.
The Act came into force in September 2003, and Darjeeling Tea became the first product to get a GI tag in India in 2004-05.
Hence, 1999.
