The FNCCI has also objected to the government decision to impose additional Rs 300 tax per kilogram in its export.

A team of the FNCCI meeting with the Finance Minister on Tuesday also demanded to upgrade the Maheshpur Customs Point in Nawalparasi district.
In response to the concerns of FNCCI representatives, the Finance Minister said he was serious to the issue raised by industrialists regarding the revenue increment and reassessment would be done by forming a separate committee.
