The dealers announced that they would participate in a sit-in at Delhi “CHALLO DILLI FOR EXCISE HATAO YATRA” which will be attended by All Trade Federations & Associations PAN India, on March 17 in Ram Leela Maidan, 9 am onwards.

Terming levy of 1 percent excise duty on gold as “anti-customer” and “anti-dealer” move, Praveen Goel CMD SUNAR JEWELS AND EXECUTIVE MEMBER OF AIBJS said “The excise guidelines are not practically “implementable”. We urge the Government to withdraw the proposal to impose excise duty till there is proper dialogue and discussion on the subject.
