FAIDA Raises Concerns over Blocked ITC Amid GST Slab Changes
Imagine the government changes a tax, and businesses already have stock bought with the old tax.
Distributors, who supply goods like food and phones, are worried because a lot of their tax money might get stuck with the government.
This could hurt their finances.
FAIDA, a group representing these distributors, is asking the government for help, like a way to get that money back.
They fear that without a solution, small businesses could struggle, and consumers might not even benefit from the tax changes.
FAIDA, representing distributors, raised concerns about blocked Input Tax Credit (ITC) due to new GST rates.
The group is worried that ITC already paid on existing stock will be locked.
FAIDA warned the issue could severely affect distributors' ability to maintain business operations.
The body urges the government to consider a refund mechanism to address the issue.
Concerns about the implementation of revised prices on goods with old MRPs were also flagged.
