Jaipur-based Bullion Association will cease to exist as an exchange for futures trading from August 1.
"The exchange did not organise forward trade during the period of recognition, nor did it seek renewal beyond June 30, 2009. So, it (recognition) simply lapsed," Forward Markets Commission Chairman B C Khatua said.
The Association was given recognition to operate as an exchange for five years on July 1, 2004. It was given permission to offer futures trading in mustardseed, mustardseed oil and mustardseed cake, the regulator said in a statement.
