CAIT to launch nationwide agitation from March 5 against GST, e-commerce issues

NEW DELHI: Traders’ body CAIT on Sunday said it would launch a nation-wide agitation against issues related to the goods and services tax and alleged malpractices of foreign e-commerce firms.

The day-long ‘Bharat Vyapar Bandh’, called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on February 26, had evoked a lukewarm response. “The campaign will begin from March 5 and continue till April 5 against the GST amendments and malpractices of foreign e-commerce companies,” CAIT said.
