Meanwhile reacting to the announcements made by the finance minister exporters said Tuesday that these will ease operational problems of taxpayers.

Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) president Sharad Kumar Saraf said the announcements are pragmatic and ‘will ease the operational problem of taxpayers’. On the deadline extension of tax dispute settlement schemes till June 30, he said this will give assesses more time to avail it as lockdown is imposing a big challenge to avail it by March 31.

Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) chairman Mohit Singla said the announcements will be a big breather to the industry, which was facing headwinds and moving towards a grinding halt situation.

“Most assuring is the fact that the government is holding hands in this extraordinary time and is doing all it can to shoulder the burden and cushion the stress points for small and big business amid the COVID-19 crisis,” said Singla.
