Textile wholesale protest GST in Kolkata

Indian Business in the city virtually came to a standstill on Friday as markets, wholesale hubs and even some local grocery shops downed the shutters to protest against the implementation of GST at Kolkata Barabazar area on July 14,2017 in India. Textile traders in West Bengal’s Burrabazaar, the prime wholesale market in Bengal accounting for nearly 10 per cent of the country’s textile sales, have downed shutters till tomorrow. Other traders in Burrabazaar are expected to follow suit tomorrow. While textile traders are demanding exemption from GST, another section of traders expected to join the strike are demanding simplification of compliance procedures under the new tax regime. GST rate on textiles is 5 per cent. (Photo by Debajyoti Chakraborty/NurPhoto)
