Discussion Session on new revised Minimum Wages, proposed additional tax up to 1% in GST Bill, etc.
Dear all,
Near recent past, lot of things have taken place in our UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli which will leave a long term affects on the industries of this area and which will bring tremendous changes in the profitability and functioning of the industries.
As Administration has notified the revised minimum wages, which are applicable in Dadra & Nagar Haveli from 1st April 2015. The wages has been enhanced to Rs. 268.20 for unskilled worker. This enhancement in the Minimum Wages shall have the very significant impact on the industries of this area.
In other issue of the proposed GST Bill, which is pending before Rajya Shabha for its approval, there is a provision to levy additional tax up to 1% on inter-state supply of goods. This additional tax up to 1% shall have very negative effect on the industries of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and which may lead the closure of number of units from this area. As we all aware that, majority of our industries are procuring raw material in inter-state supply and selling the finished goods also in other States.
Looking to the seriousness of the issue of provision of additional tax up to 1% in the proposed GST Bill, all the three industrial Associations met Sh. Arun Jatley, Hon’ble Minister for Finance, Sh. Rajnath Singh, Hon’ble Minister for Home Affairs and Sh. Haribhai P Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State for Home Affairs and appraised them about the adverse effect, which shall cause to the industries of Dadra & Nagar Haveli.
The said delegation of three associations was lead by Sh. Natubhai G Patel, Hon'ble Member of Parliament, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Shri Lalubhai G Patel, Hon'ble Member of Parliament, Diu and Daman.
