Demanding uniformity in the tax structure under ‘one nation, one tax’ formula, a delegation of Punjabi Basmati Rice Millers Association (PBRMA) on Oct 07 met Union finance minister Arun Jaitley in Delhi and asked him to impress upon the Punjab government to rationalise taxes on the aromatic crop. The delegation led by PBRMA president Bal Krishan Bali demanded rationalisation of tax structure at least in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan if not in the entire country on the purchase of basmati. The delegation members told Jaitley that millers have to pay 3% as market fee and rural development fund (RDF) fee on purchase of basmati whereas it is 2% each in Haryana while in Rajasthan a market fee of 1.6% is levied. The delegation asserted that millers and farmers of Punjab have to suffer on account of this. Punjab government had recently raised the market fee and RDF fee to 3% from the earlier 2%.
