44% increase in manufacturing sector losses due to illicit trade: study
Illicit trade in seven major manufacturing sectors has increased industry losses by 44 per cent in two years, said a study. Government tax (direct and indirect) losses have also increased almost 50 per cent to Rs 39,239 crore in 2014, from Rs 26,190 crore in 2012 due to this.
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) and the Committee Against Smuggling And Counterfeiting Activities Destroying the Economy (Cascade) commissioned the study, which focused on seven prime manufacturing sectors — auto components, alcoholic beverages, computer hardware, fast moving consumer goods (personal), FMCG packaged foods, mobile phones, tobacco and media and broadcasting.
