CMAI for roll back of excise duty on RMG

The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI) has reiterated its opposition to the Budget proposal to levy excise duty on branded readymade garments.
It has urged the government to roll back the proposed excise duty and instead, continue with the optional duty regime.
In his Budget speech, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had proposed 2 per cent excise duty on branded readymade garments and made-up articles of textiles of retail sale price of Rs 1,000 and above.
"The Finance Minister should withdraw excise duty on branded readymade garments and continue with the optional duty regime that applies currently, until GST is introduced.
"Once GST is introduced, the whole value chain will be covered by duty and traceability as well as compliance will improve tremendously and implementation problems will also ease considerably," CMAI President Rahul Mehta said at a seminar in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Mehta further said that the "task of collecting excise duty from the highly dispersed and mostly tiny units in the garment sector would be a formidable one for the government".

印度服装协会要求取消服装消费税

印度服装制造商协会（CMAI）重申反对预算提议对品牌成衣服装征税。

它敦促政府取消敦促政府取消征收消费税的提议,相反,继续可选的责任制度。

在他的预算演说中，财政部长Arun Jaitley提出了对品牌成衣服装以及零售价格1000卢比及以上的纺织成品征收2%的消费税。

“财政部长将撤销对品牌成衣服装的消费税，继续可选的责任制度，直到GST引入。”

“一旦引入GST,整个价值链都将覆盖税收，可追溯性以及合规性都会得到极大改善，实现问题也将大大缓解,“CMAI总统拉Rahul Mehta周二在孟买的一个研讨会上说。

Mehta进一步表示，“收集消费税的任务主要针对高度分散的，许多在服装行业的小单位对政府来说将是强大的”。
