The Pakistan Readymade Garment Manufactures and Exporters Association (Prgmea) has urged the government to reduce the rate of labour levies for social securities and employees old age benefit. In a communication to the government, Prgmea chairman Bilal Mulla said that garment manufacturers' wages rates are among the highest.
"The recent 33 percent increase in the minimum wage rate has compelled us to increase the wages with equal proportion at all production levels. This has also increased the labour related levies," he added.
