Government initiates action for cashless transactions

Government has initiated immediate action to enable cashless transactions for payment of wages in thetextile sector to address the issues of shortage of new currency, said Union textiles minister Smriti Irani. A campaign has been launched to promote digital payments and opening of bank accounts for workers by organising camps in various textile clusters.

Senior officers were deputed to clusters to oversee the holding of camps in association with the banking sector. Industry Associations and Councils have also been advised to promote digital payments for enabling cashless transactions, said Irani in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.

The government has approved Amended Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS) instead of Revised Restructured Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (RRTUFS), she said in another reply to Rajya Sabha. ATUFS is for technology upgradation of the textile industry with one time capital subsidy for eligible benchmarked machinery for seven years from 2015-16 to 2021-22.

The rate of capital investment subsidy (CIS) for garmenting, technical textiles and composite units (if the eligible capital investment in respect of garmenting and technical textiles category is more than 50 per cent of the eligible project cost) is 15 per cent on eligible machines with CIS per individual entity being Rs 30 crore.
