25. Report on ‘Implications of Goods and Services
Tax (GST) for Indian Textiles Sector’
Recommended policy options for Khadi and
Handlooms, Cotton textiles, and carpet
weaving
• Zero rating
• Exemption
• Lower rate of tax
• Standard rate of tax with appropriate
subsidies
26. GST Impact on Handloom
• Cost burden on production to increase
• Handloom products become uncompetitive
at retail level
• Natural fibre costs to grow
• Decreasing access
• Market position to shift
• GST hassles to discourage investment flows
• GST-induced fibre neutral policy
discriminates
27. GST Impact on Handloom
• 18 % burden on small-scale reeling,
twisting, winding and other machines will
impact silk and wool sectors directly.
• 53 returns per year adds to operational
costs
• Local consumption is discouraged
• Transit and services tax burden to be
explored

30. Cumulative Impacts
• No Indian Textile Policy
• No Handloom Policy
• Decreasing schemes and budget allocations
to handloom sector
• Ministry of Textiles orientation to modern,
automated textile industry
• No thinking on linking Indian textiles with
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
31. Suggested National Fibre Policy:
Bring out a Textile Fiber Products
Identification Act
Establish a Natural Fibre Fund, to
support lakhs of livelihoods
Increase the targets for natural fibre
and fabric production through
environment friendly methods
Establish price stability mechanisms
