President Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Senator Haji Ghulam Ali has said that two percent of income and sales tax may be exempted in FATA and KPK to promote industry and trade.
He said this in his recommendations to the government for allocation of funds, which were issued from his office on Sunday. He said that it is recommended that KPK and FATA are most effected areas due to prevailing law and order, due to which the industries and trade have been badly effected.
Transmission lines for the provisions of electricity in the Peshawar area have become in worst conditions, which are main cause of fire, which may be replaced immediately and the transformer have also been gone out of order which create great problem day to day. He said Rs 100 million may be allocated in financial budget 2013-14 to meet the requirement.
He said Peshawar was unfortunately deprived of gas facility in the modern era. At least Rs 300 million may be allocated in financial year 2013-14.
“It is also recommended that for the easy access to urban/cities from the near about villages for revenue generation form-market roads may be constructed. For this purpose 100 million may be kept in the financial budget 2013-14”, he added.
