Bangalore Wholesale Cloth Merchant Association has urged the Union government to drop the proposal to increase GST (Goods and Service Tax) on garments and textile industries from 5 percent to 12 percent.

With effect from January 2022, the government has raised GST on finished goods such as garments, textiles, and footwear from 5 percent to 12 percent.

In a unique campaign, the association has decided to send postcards to the PMO (Prime Minister Office) daily from all the shops here in Bengaluru against the proposal. "From Karnataka alone, we are sending 3,000 cards daily.

Every shop is sending a minimum of five cards daily," says Bangalore Wholesale Cloth Merchant Association President Prakash Pirgal.
