- Consumption of beef is not illegal in Assam.
- But the Assam Cattle Preservation Act of 2021 regulates the transportation, and slaughter of all cattle, and sale of beef and beef products in the state.
- This act bans cattle slaughter and sale of beef in areas where Hindus, Jains and Sikhs are in majority and within a five-kilometre radius of a temple or satra (Vaishnavite monastery).
- Violations of the provisions of the bill could lead to imprisonment for three to eight years and a fine between ₹3 lakh and ₹5 lakh.
