In a move to boost the country’s manufacturing sector, the Commerce Ministry, has asked the Finance Ministry to fast track the provision for exempting units in the National Manufacturing Investment Zones (NMIZs) from capital gains tax.
The proposal, which is to be part of the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) being worked out by the Finance Ministry, received a setback when the Government withdrew the DTC Bill from the agenda of the Cabinet meeting earlier last month due to last minute jitters on the proposal to impose additional tax burden on the super rich. Earlier in March, the norms guiding investments in the zones had been notified by the DIPP, while, the Finance Ministry is yet to make changes in the tax laws accordingly.
The NMIZs are envisaged as mega investment regions in the country and equipped with world-class infrastructure which would give a much-needed boost to manufacturing in the country. Further, the NMIZs will help increase the share of manufacturing in the GDP to 25 per cent from the current 16 per cent, and will also create 100 million jobs till 2025.
