Jalandhar, July 15

The Khel Udyog Sangh has condemned the Excise and Taxation Department for issue of notice to deposit C forms from 2013-14 to 2016-17 and demanded its immediate withdrawal. They said the due date for furnishing forms was August 17. Ravinder Dhir said the industrialists would not be able to collect their C forms amid this situation. “This is already a tough time for us when the pandemic has given a serious setback to the industries, how the government could now put another burden on us. Even during normal times when the business run in its normal pace, getting C form is not a cakewalk, how could they expect that we would be able to collect these forms now, ” he said,

“Already there is hardly any industrial activity taking place these days, and the existence of the units is already under question. Even now, the government could ask for the deposition of C forms, this is strange,” said one of the members.

The members have demanded that this order must be withdrawn. Dhir said currently, everyone was badly hit and instead of giving such tasks to manufacturers and traders, the government should come to the rescue of the people.
