The law was formulated in consultation with all the stakeholders. According to the new Trade Law, multiple trade associations in same sector have been disallowed. Territorial jurisdiction of Chambers has been defined at district level.
Women Entrepreneurs and services sector have been allowed to form trade bodies while the right of vote to trade bodies in FPCCI elections shall accrue two years after grant of license. The right of vote to the new members in a trade body will accrue two years after grant of membership.
Only business concerns and not individuals shall be eligible for membership of Trade Organisations. All these provisions will provide a self-run mechanism for purging the system of the non-operational, non-functional, fake and ghost Trade Bodies which used to play decisive role in the elections of FPCCI in the past.
