Government serious to bring apology scheme related to GST
Referring to the previous AAP government of Delhi, he said that he was only involved in the game of fighting and allegations and counter-allegations and campaigning a little bit of work. Giving details of various initiatives of his government, the Chief Minister said that the Merchant Welfare Board will be formed, so that the complaints of the business and business community can be redressed on one platform. He also said that the government is working seriously to bring an apology scheme related to Goods and Services Tax (GST) for the traders of Delhi.
CM said- Do not disturb traders officers
Said that in a recent meeting with GST department officials, I explained to the officials that no bureaucracy will be allowed to run and traders should be treated respectfully and they should be helped. Why should a businessman wait for hours outside the offices. I have warned that if an officer harasses a businessman, he will have to face my anger. He insisted that there is a need to make the system easy and favorable for the traders, so that they themselves come forward to fulfill their tax liabilities. No businessman wants to avoid paying tax. They just need a simple procedure for payment.
Promised to bring good and simple industrial policy
He said and emphasized his government’s commitment to work in this direction. Gupta said that Delhi has no industrial policy and invited traders to prepare a draft for it. He said, “We will bring a good, simple industrial policy to eliminate problems. Single window systems, ease of trade, hassle -free licensing – Government is working on it. Gupta said that the solution to all problems related to industry and business in the city is now possible due to BJP’s triple engine government in Center, Delhi and MCD.
