All most all these products are produced by un-skilled, Semi-Skilled persons all over the Country. They are now being
brought under Central Excise net. There is no need to display Indian made Goods in Exhibition & Fairs for development of
Indian Products.
They will attract Central Excise Duty. The producers of these Goods are not termed Small Scale Industries under the
provisions of Industries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 (65 of 1951). Majority of these producers do not have the
Factory as defined under Factory Act, 1948. This step taken by the Finance Minister is harsh than the step taken by
Britishers, who had imposed Central Excise Duty on Salt in the 1930 & which was removed it on 1st April, 1947. i.e.
after 17 years.
All the Leading Chambers of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture and Various Associations have not Condemn these Proposals.
No Political Party have opposed these Changes, as they do not get Funds from these Poor People.
Yours truly,
For Bombay Small Scale Industries Association
RAKSHPAL ABROL
President,
