Any delay in getting the drawback amounts, textiles exporters have to going through financial intricacy whereby affecting at hand exports.

Customs has been repeatedly requested by exporters to release the duty drawback amounts, as it is a refund of duties and taxes incurred at the inputs stage on export products. But, the Customs has failed to release the funds due to non-availability of funds with the customs.

Expressing concern over the delay, Manikam Ramswami, chairman of The Cotton Textiles Export promotion Council (TEXPROCIL), stated that textiles exports are getting affected due to the Government’s interest free borrowings from the Industry which outstrips the industry’s annual profit.
