EPCES seeks nationwide stable policy

New Delhi: The Export Promotion Council for EOUs and SEZs (EPCES) on Friday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a uniform policy nationwide for businesses to operate including for movement of personnel.

“We request that either a nationwide stable policy may be issued, applicable in all the states of India for running the business or don’t put any operative guidelines and compliances for trade and industry and not to press upon payment of salaries to workers without any business,” EPCES vice chairman Bhuvnesh Seth wrote in the letter to PM.

Referring to the unplanned sealing of state borders around Delhi NCR, he said the move was leading to losses and posed difficulties to exporters in fulfilling their export commitments. In the letter, Seth said: “Due to uncertain sudden sealing of state borders, it is very difficult to operate the business”.
