Trade body plea for uniform GST in jewellery sector
The All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) urged the Centre to implement uniform 1% goods & services tax (GST) across the entire gems and jewellery sector since such an initiative will bring all jewellery manufacturers under one umbrella. “Such action will also help the gems and jewellery sector to promote ‘Make in India’ concept at the grassroots level and help in getting the sector more organized,” said a member of the association.
