The National Policy on Urban Street Vendors (2004) estimates the number of streetvendors in a city to be 2.5 percentage of the urban population (All-India 17-25 lakhs). Despite such a massivepopulation being engaged in an occupation, street vending ischaracterized by uncertainty, extortion and low standards of regulation. The Street Vendors Act 2014 aimed to solve these problems through a comprehensive mechanism. This paper evaluates The Street Vendors Act 2014’s viability, status of implementation and monetary loss borne by street vendors due to its non-implementation. This is followed by ethnographic evidence and recommendations toimprove the situation of Street Vendor.
