Delhi traders concerned over certain clauses in GST Amendment Bills, says opposition
New Delhi, Aug 8 (UNI) The Delhi Assembly today witnessed heated discussions over two GST Amendment Bills tabled by the government, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) raising concerns about their potential impact on small traders. Leader of Opposition Atishi claimed that the proposed changes could lead to arbitrary compliance demands and increase bureaucratic hurdles for businesses. Atishi stated that traders across the city had expressed anxiety over certain clauses in the Bills. She argued that the amendments grant the government broad powers to demand documents in any format, removing earlier fixed requirements. "This opens the door to arbitrary harassment," she said, adding that the lack of clarity could create uncertainty for businesses. The AAP leader also criticized the government's plan to provide tax exemptions to Special Economic Zones (SEZs), alleging preferential treatment for corporate entities while small traders face stricter compliance. "The largest SEZs in the country are owned by industrialists close to the BJP. While they get tax relief, ordinary traders are burdened with new restrictions," she said. Atishi demanded that the government address traders' concerns and clarify the intent behind the amendments. The Bills, which also reportedly affect the real estate sector, were to be taken up for discussion and passage later.
