The West Bengal Garment Manufacturers and Dealers Association (WBGMDA) has urged the West Bengal government to withdraw textile licence under the West Bengal Cotton Cloth & Yarn Control Order, 1060. | |
| The organisation also wants municipality trade unions to be scratched, which, according to R C Tewari, chairman WBGMDA, was hampering the day-to-day functioning of small garment units. |
| |
| The body also asked for a change in taxation system for a partnership firm, which is generally a family business and needs favourable treatment. |
| |
| Tewari mandatory submission of C-Form for inter-state sale of readymade garments in terms of the amendment to the Central Sales Tax Act in 2001 should be kept in abeyance. |
| |
| The chairman also said readymade garments should attract all taxes at the minimum rate. |
| |
| Textile Cess under the Textile Committee Act on ready-made garments should also be withdrawn. |
| |
| "A separate and simplified labour law for small scale industries like ready-made garment industry should be enhance," he added. |
