DAC conducts the statutory arbitration proceedings in cases marked directly by the Government authorities for conduct of arbitration between the parties as a part of statute.
“Statutory Arbitrations” are arbitrations conducted in accordance with the provisions of certain special Acts which provide for arbitration in respect of disputes arising on matters covered by those Acts. There are about 24 such Central Acts. Many State Acts also provide for arbitration in respect of disputes covered by those Acts, including Acts relating to co-operative societies.

Provision under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996
Section 2(4) of The Arbitration and conciliation act.1996 provides for the application of the act to statutory arbitrations. It replaces Section 46 of the repealed 1940 act. The Provision is as follows:
“(4) This part except sub-section (1) of Section 40.sections 41 and 43 shall apply to every arbitration under any other enactment for the time being in force, as if the arbitration were pursuant to an arbitration agreement and as if that other enactment were an arbitration agreement, except insofar as the provisions of this part are inconsistent with that other enactment or with any rules thereunder.(5)subject to the provisions of sub-section(4), and save insofar as is otherwise provided by any law for the time being in force or in any agreement in force between India and any other country or countries, this part shall apply to all arbitrations and to al proceedings relating thereto”.

The few of the Central Acts that include Arbitration provisions are:
