OUR CREDENTIALS
On the vital issue of Central Excise Duty, IBMA immediately swung into action to safeguard the interests of biscuit manufacturers in the SME sector who were faced with a crisis, due to the excise exemption limit only upto MRP of Rs.50/per kg in the Union Budget 2007-08 proposals. IBMA began its campaign with a Press Conference on 8th March, 2007 addressed by Shri B P Agarwal, President. The plight of the Small & Medium Biscuit Manufacturers being liable to pay CENVAT @ 8% while the Large Industries were virtually exempted to the detriment of large number SMEs in the Biscuit Industry, was very widely covered in the Electronic and Print media throughout the country. IBMA continued its sustained efforts and also organized meetings with the Finance Minister, Ministers of State for Finance, Minister for Food Processing Industries and with concerned officials as well as various Members of Parliament and leaders of political parties, presenting the unfairness of the levy of CENVAT to the vast majority of biscuit manufacturers. |
