Counterfeiting continues to be a major growing issue in
the automotive component industry. According to Motor
Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), USA
the global automotive industry loses US $ 12 billion
to counterfeiting. The Indian scenario is not a different
story. According to FICCI – CASCADE latest study
(Grey market the invisible enemy) released in 2012, the
Auto component industry loses 29.6% of its sales due
to grey market, worth US $ 2 billion (INR 9198 crores
out of estimated size of INR 31,046).
To combat this menace all Stakeholders need to fight
at their level. Governments have a particularly critical
role to play in this effort. All over world, they are doing
their best creating the necessary legal infrastructure,
educating police force, developing suitable laws to
deter fraudulent behaviour. Businesses, however, must
also do their part to prevent the production and sale of

vigilant is the most important thing.
Tax stamps role in implementing ideal state excise policy
Tax stamps role in implementing ideal state excise policyAuthentication Solution Providers' Association (ASPA)
This document discusses the role of tax stamps in implementing an ideal state excise policy in India. It notes that excise taxes on alcohol are an important source of state revenue. While revenue generation is important, excise policy must also consider public health and curb illicit trade. Tax stamps can help reduce consumption, generate revenue, and protect consumers by allowing for product authentication and monitoring supply chains. The document argues that tax stamps should be viewed not just as a tax collection tool but as a platform to meet policy goals like reducing consumption, securing revenue, and empowering consumers and industries.Exploring the 5 W's of Counterfeiting
We often read, hear or see news related to counterfeit products, counterfeiting and counterfeiters. From knock-off tires to spurious brakes, counterfeit toys to fake medicines, duplicate luxury handbags to phony fragrances, the list seems endless. Counterfeit products pose a risk to consumers, manufacturers, government and other stakeholders. The figures related to counterfeiting on the national and global level have raised an alarm which should not be left unnoticed. The widespread sale of fake goods on the e-commerce portals has further deteriorated the situation. Today, it has become quite challenging for the consumer, manufacturer and authorities to tackle the problem of counterfeiting.
How to make any serialization program successful
How to make any serialization program successful Authentication Solution Providers' Association (ASPA)
The use of serialization as an anti-counterfeiting measure has expanded across the world, and across sectors. This is especially true in the pharmaceutical sector, where more than 75% of the world’s pharmaceutical supply will be under serialization regulations by 2020. The United States, the European Union, Argentina, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India and Russia, amongst others, already have or are in the process of implementing regulations. Several other countries are evaluating how best to protect their patients against the scourge of counterfeiting, one that takes hundreds of thousands of lives a year and causes billions of dollars of losses to industry (one estimate by the World Economic Forum put it at $200 bn annually ). Even without regulations, leading companies around the world are adopting serialization as a tool to protect their brands and secure their supply chains. Whether you are a brand owner or a regulator, taking those first steps in the serialization journey can be daunting. The article is an attempt to break it down into five steps view as being essential for success.Cannabis in India & Canada
The article review the Cannabis in India & Canada. While India is fighting with the illicit Cannabis problem, Canada is expecting to generate $8 billion revenue with legalizing it. Recently, International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) released annual report, raises concerns over record levels of illicit cannabis herbs seized in India. While a debate must be is needed on socio-economic benefits of legalizing cannabis, it is known fact the country needs greater investments in the healthcare sector to enable better treatment and rehabilitation of drug users. The time is the best answer, is legalizing Cannabis benefit the socio-economic is the future ?

Combating illicit tobacco trade is an issue that is being seriously
addressed by not only those in the tobacco industry but also governments around world and international bodies such
as World Health Organisation (WHO) and Interpol. According to an estimate by WHO, eliminating the illicit trade in tobacco would generate an annual tax of US $ 31 billions for governments. In Indian scenario, as per media sources, illegal Cigarette trade comprising international smuggled and locally manufactured tax-evaded cigarettes accounts for as much as 1/4th of the Cigarette Industry in India. According to studies by FICCI CASCADE (Committee against Smuggling and Destroying Economy), the grey market in the tobacco industry has grown significantly since 2010 and has grown from 15.7 percent in 2010 to 20.2 percent in 2012 - an increase of 28.7 percent. Government of India alone bears the losses
INR 13 billion per annum because of illicit tobacco trade. Based on the current tax rates on cigarettes, it is estimated that the
Government loses Rs. 13,000 crores per annum because of illegal cigarette trade.Taking a positive step in curbing illicit
tobacco trade, on 2-May-2018, The Union Cabinet Chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given approval to
accede to the Protocol under World Health O rg a n i z a t i o n ( W H O ) F r a m e w o r k Convention on tobacco control to eliminate illicit trade in tobacco products.
