The limit prescribed for provision for bad and doubtful debts for Indian banks should be increased from the existing limit of 8.5 per cent to 15 per cent, CII said in a press release.
It suggested a graded roadmap towards competitive import tariffs over next three years, with lowest or nil slab 0-2.5 per cent for inputs or raw materials, highest slab of 5-7.5 per cent for final products and 2.5-5 per cent for intermediates. This will help Indian industry integrate into the global value chain while becoming competitive with its goods and services in the world markets.
