Power Rates: At present in Karachi power rates are higher compared with other parts of the country. Karachi Chamber's silence in this regard is surprising though, power is generated in Karachi by thermal generation whereas petrol and diesel are sold at uniform rates from Karachi to Peshawar.
God willing, Businessmen Alliance (BMA) immediately after coming into power will strive hard to bring uniformity in power rates throughout the country and will secure Karachi's due rights.
SETTING UP OF NEW INDUSTRIES IN KARACHI HAS BECOME IMPERATIVE: As compared to other cities of the country prices of land in industrial areas are at peak. As a result un-employment is rising day by day in Karachi, setting up new industries is a must to tackle this problem.
For establishing new industries reduction in land prices is more than necessary. For this purpose lands adjacent to Super Highway, National Highway and Northern Bypass be declared industrial states, because infrastructure already exists in these areas which would facilitate immediately setting up industrial units.
IMPROVEMENT IN TAXATION SYSTEM: In respect of Sales Tax audit is a grave problem for the trading community because a registered trader has to get it audited every year which causes difficulty.
BMA calls for audit once in three years, with providing compulsorily the copy of sales tax audit notice to the chamber.
PROVING FACILITY TO ORDINARY TRADER AND INDUSTRIALIST: Setting up of facility counter at Karachi Chamber of Commerce is intended at providing professional know how for ordinary traders. Including providing help in Taxation, Import and Export.
Karachi Chamber of Commerce was bestowed the honour by the Government of Pakistan that it recommendation letter for gas connection and for power generation was accepted.
Last year this privilege was transferred to EPB, this has caused many problems to the industrial consumer. The silence adopted by Karachi Chamber in this respect is regrettable.
God willing Businessmen Alliance (BMA) after coming into power will try to restore the prestige of Karachi Chamber.
