Traders under the banner of Khel Udyog Sangh have written to the Chief Minister and Finance Minister of Punjab to cover the cases till 2017 under the one-time settlement scheme (OTS).

The OTS was implemented for 2013-2014, and the traders have been demanding to include cases till 2017 under the scheme. “The sports industry is going through the toughest time due to the pandemic. We request you to pay attention to the extensively labour-intensive industry which is surviving with difficulty and is in doldrums and it is badly hit,” the memorandum reads.

The traders said the problem was only aggravating amid the pandemic as they cannot deal with the cumbersome procedure of the tax.

The members also handed over the copy of the memorandum to Jalandhar Central MLA Rajinder Beri. The MLA played an important role in bringing the OTS scheme as he always accompanied the traders and the industrialists to various ministers and raised the issues of the industry. — TNS
