FOSTTA calls meet to discuss GST demands

Unhappy with the GST Council not taking any decision on the demands put forth by textile trader’s at the August 5 meeting, the Federation of Surat Textile Traders’ Association (FOSTTA) and the GST Sangarsh Samiti have decided to go for the opinion of the traders’ community on further course of action.

The FOSTTA and GST Sangarsh Samiti leaders discussed demands that were not addressed at the GST Council on August 5. FOSTTA office-bearers have stated they had met finance minister Arun Jaitley along with union minister of state for road transport Mansukh Mandaviya and the two MPs from Surat and Navsari on July 17. Jaitley had promised to resolve the demands including simplification of the GST rules.

The GST Council meeting had no mention about the simplification of the GST rule for the textile trader’s community. However, the FOSTTA and GST Sangarsh Samiti have called a meeting of representatives of all the 165 textile markets in the city to decide on the further course of action.

President of FOSTTA, Manoj Agarwal stated after receiving a promise to resolve the GST issues from FM on July 17, they unanimously decided to end the indefinite strike on July 18 also the textile trade is in trouble and that the business has reduced to almost 30 per cent.
