Truck body builders resent “forcible” GST recovery

Fatehgarh Sahib, July.14, 2018: The Truck body builders Association protested against alleged forcible recovery of 28% GST by the department officials against 18% as reduced by the Union Government.

A delegation of the Association led by Baljeet Singh Bhutta, Chairman Zila Parishad Fatehgarh Sahib called on Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra MP and submitted him a memorandum regarding charter of demands to be taken up with Union Government.

Tilak Raj Secretary of the Association told that Union Govt. has reduced the GST from 28% to 18% on the representation of the association as the truck body building is a labour work by which they provide service to truck owner and it should be covered under 18%, but unfortunately the department officials are still pressurizing them and recovering 28% forcibly on one or the other pretext.

He said they have presented charter of demands to Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra to take up the matter with Union Govt. and to issue clear cut instructions.

Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra assured the delegation that he will take up the issue with Union Minister and get their problem resolved.
