CCI,
ASSI delegation meets Drabu, Vyas
Excelsior

JAMMU, Jan 25: A joint
delegation of Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (CCI) and Association of Small
Scale Industries (ASSI) Gangyal led by
CCI president Ram Sahai met the Economic
Advisor to J&K Government Dr Haseeb
Drabu, Commissioner / Secretary Finance B
B Vyas and Commissioner Commercial Taxes,
Bashir Ahmed to discuss the post-vat
implementation problems being faced by
the business community.
The
delegation members in the meeting
emphasised that Commercial Tax department
should reach every area of the state
including far-flung areas to create
awareness about the Vat regime and also
to do on the spot solving the problems of
the business community.
The matter
regarding no refund to the industrial
units due against their payment of VAT to
SICOP was raised. Reacting to this the
authorities told that the matter has been
sorted out and the said refund shall be
disbursed as incentive for which
sufficient revolving fund will be kept at
the disposal of SICOP.
Regarding
provision of Form-65, Mr Sahai pointed
towards the problem being faced by this
provision. It was insisted that
registered dealer should be
differentiated in case of imposing the
security and other panel measures because
cases pertaining to registered dealers
can always be referred to the concerned
assessing authorities for taking
cognizance of any lapse. Most of the
points discussed in the meet pertained to
the working at Lakhanpur, Lower Munda
check posts where the goods are detained
for verification of TIN numbers, no entry
or entry by different name in the
registration certificates. It was
proposed that J&K state as a whole
should be considered one unit so far as
free movement of Agro-products like
walnuts, Ladakhi apricot and almonds are
concerned. The creation of SIUs is like
over laping the working of Lakhanpur and
Lower Munda check posts and Vigilance
department, hence its constitution be
reviewed and reconsidered.
Balbir
Gupta, president ASSI also spoke in the
meet.
Dr Drabu
and Mr Vyas assured the delegation to
look into the points raised by the
members.
BBIA
flays PDD for unscheduled trippings
Excelsior

JAMMU, Jan 25: Bari
Brahmana Industries Association today
strongly flayed the apathetic attitude
and step motherly treatment being meted
out by the Power Development Department
to the industrial sector of Bari
Brahamana.
President
of the Association Satish Kaul, in a
meeting held here today, said that
inspite of repeated assurances by the PDD
during the last few weeks, the power
supply was going from bad to worst.
Since, last few days the industries as a
whole have virtually been paralyzed due
to non-supply of power.
"Industries
of Bari Brahamana were the first to get
electronic meters installed in J&K
and give gainful employment to thousands
of workers. If the power supply position
does not improve, industries will not be
left with any other option but to
retrench the manpower", he warned.
Mr Koul
said that Power Minister had himself
assured an improvement in the power
supply but the intermittent break downs
of power was resulting into huge loss to
the industrial units in respect of
production. He said that in addition to
the regular eight hour scheduled cuts,
there are five to seven unscheduled
trippings everyday.
The BBIA
president sought to know that whether the
industrial policy framed by Central and
State Governments to boost the industrial
growth in the State was the paper work
only.
He
appealed the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi
Azad and Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar
Hussain Baig to intervene and restore
power supply to industries failing which
the efforts of the State Government in
bringing industrial revolution and
investments made by the industrialists
would be endangered.
