    Reconsider GST hike on textile and apparel, industry body to government



    Admin
    Dec 26, 2023

    '

    New Delhi: Industry body Retailers’ Association of India (RAI) has urged the finance minister to reconsider the GST Council’s recent decision to increase taxes on several textile and apparel items from 5% to 12% effective January 2022.

    <br/>

    A 7% hike has been proposed to address the issue of inverted duty structure in the textile industry faced by a small segment of the total textile value chain. However, such a steep increase in the GST rate will adversely impact 85% of the industry while trying to ease the problem faced by less than 15% of the industry, RAI said in its note.

    <br/>

    The industry body said the pandemic has already dealt a body blow to the apparel industry as prolonged lockdowns and weak consumer demand led to a decline in sales of clothing.

    <br/>

    “On the business side, it will add to the financial burden of an already-stressed sector, slow down its pace of recovery and affect working capital requirements especially in the case of MSME businesses which account for 90% of the industry. On the consumer side, it will lead to a rise in the prices of garments, thereby hurting consumption. On the government side, in the long run, it may lead to many unorganised businesses going out of the GST net," he added.

    GST hike on textiles: The issue, industry pain and government's rationale



    Admin
    Dec 26, 2023

    '

     At a time when sections of the textile industry were demanding correction of inverted duty structure to ease cash flow, the recent notification issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has not augured well with the industry.

    <br/>

    The GST on Man-Made Fiber (MMF), MMF yarn, and MMF fabrics were taxed at 18 percent, 12 percent, and 5 percent under GST respectively. The taxation of inputs at higher rates than finished products created credit build-up and cost escalation. It further led to the accumulation of taxes at various stages of the MMF value chain and the blockage of crucial working capital for the industry.
    <br/>
     
    GST Council in its last meeting took a decision to correct the inverted tax structure and come up with a notification No. 14/2021 dated 18.11.201 raising tax from 5 percent to 12 percent for several textile and apparel items from January 2022.

    Textile mills struggle as cotton price hits 11-year high



    Admin
    Dec 26, 2023

    '

     Cotton prices have gained nearly 40 percent in 2022 and are at an 11-year high on the back of a demand-supply mismatch. This is hurting cotton yarn spinners and cotton-based textile and garments manufacturers, forcing many to cut down on operations across the country.

    <br/>

    While spinning mills are partially operational, few fabric manufacturers have decided to hit a stop button to their production at least for a few days.
    <br/>
     
    Industry watchers estimate that the average consumption of cotton per month has also reduced from around 29 lakh bales to 19 lakh bales per month in India. What is further worrying is the fact that the arrival of cotton is slow during this season 2021-22.
