Textile traders in Bhilwara have demanded minimal GST taxes for all raw clothing categories including textile, polyester yarn, wool and other materials. Further, textile traders have also sought tax sops for entities engaged in the business for more than 20 years. Ambaji Textile Market Association has recommended a uniform 5 percent rate for cloth textiles and yarns.

Bhilwara produces almost 40-45 per cent of the total yarn manufactured in India. But after GST was introduced, cloth is taxed at 5 per cent whereas yarn is taxed at 12 percent. Input credit is also not available to the businesses. Traders have also sought subsidies in their electricity bills as the power supply situation in the city is quite bleak. They want assurances from both the centre and states that their issues will be looked into.
