Rana Sikandar-e-Azam Khan President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI) has welcomed the establishment of "Help Desks" in all Regional Tax Offices (RTO) across the country including Faisalabad for the immediate payment of refund claims.

He told that the exporters are facing difficulties in getting their genuine refund claims within the agreed period of 72 hours. Due to this delay, the refund claims had piled up creating liquidity problems for the exporters in general and for the SME in particular.

He told that as a result of their squeezing finances, the exporters have to reduce their economic and export activities which may frustrate our efforts to bridge the import export gap.
