Gurugram, 08th Jan
2020:- The
Haryana Chapter of CII submitted Pre Budget Memorandum for the year 2020-21
to Manohar Lal, Hon’ble
Chief Minister, Haryana today at Gurugram. In the memorandum, CII has made
suggestions on issues ranging from GST, Infrastructure Development, and
Reduction in Passenger Tax, Industrial Development and Skill Development
amongst others.
While presenting the
memorandum, Anuj Munjal, Chairman,
CII Haryana State Council & Executive Director, Munjal Auto Industries Ltd
said that “Haryana has huge untapped growth potential which can be leveraged to
take Haryana’s GDP to USD 250 billion by 2023-24”. This can be achieved by
sustaining double digit growth in State GDP, moving towards cash crops,
creating food parks around mega food parks, sustaining Haryana’s share in
automobile manufacturing in India; and positioning Hisar as MRO hub of Northern
India amongst others said Anuj Munjal. For accelerating growth of Start-Ups,
CII recommended Government to create common testing facilities to reduce
operation costs along with Government funded programmes for their business
development. Besides, CII also suggested the provision of hand holding by
Government for filing patents and IPR registrations to promote R&D and
technology absorption.
On the GST front, it has been
suggested to request the Government of India to exempt Wheat Products from GST
irrespective of whether branded or not and also to reduce local taxes levied in
Haryana on wheat in the form of Arhatiya Commission at the rate of 3.5%. It has
also been requested to formulate “Sabka Vishwas Scheme for State Tax Laws” on
the lines of “Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019” of the
Government of India that resolves all disputes relating to the erstwhile
Service Tax and Central Excise Acts.
To encourage shared mobility, the
memorandum suggests reducing Passenger Tax which was increased by 5 times of
the prevailing rate in the year 2017. With the focus on infrastructure sector,
CII has suggested to make a time bound plan with targets for completion of
major projects viz. Rewari-Hisar as an Industrial Area; and developing
Convention Centre Project at Gurugram amongst others.
To promote green buildings in the
State, Haryana Government should make Green Buildings Certification mandatory
for all the new and existing government buildings. As orders for closure of
Industrial activities across Delhi NCR come soon after Deepawali on account of
increased pollution, it has been suggested in the memorandum to urge the
Hon’ble National Green Tribunal to clarify in their order that Industrial Units
that are complying with the emission norms (or using Natural Gas or other such
environment friendly fuels) are out of the purview of this order and they are
free to continue with their industrial activities as per the prevailing
environmental laws and approvals.
On the employment front, CII has
suggested the State to consider setting up Model Career Centres in all the
districts of Haryana. These Model Career Centres will provide last mile
connectivity between job seekers and industry / businesses.
To meet the challenges of water
scarcity, CII has already conducted Water Mapping Studies for Gurugram and
Faridabad districts. CII proposes to the State Government to earmark funds for
carrying out similar scientific studies for the Water mapping of the remaining
districts for the better water development and water management purposes.
