Tax rebates for garment export

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 2 Oct 2016 00:22:00 -0700

Tax rebates for garment export
The rebate will be disbursed by the Customs along with duty drawback

The ministry of textiles has notified a scheme for Rebate of State Levies on Export of Garments (ROSL). This, first of its kind, has unique features and will apply with 'Let Export Order' dates from September 20 onwards.

The scheme seeks to rebate state value added tax or central sales tax on inputs, including packaging and fuel, duty on electricity generation and duties, and charges on purchase of grid power, as accumulated through the stages of production from yarn to finished garments. The ministry has notified the rebate rates for all items covered under chapters 61 and 62 of the All Industry Rates of drawback. Usually these are between one and two per cent of the FOB value for those availing of the special advance authorisation scheme and between three and four per cent of the FOB value for those claiming duty drawback. The scheme is valid for three years but the government can change the rebate rates any time.

An attention-grabbing condition of the scheme is that the rebate will be available for exporters who have constituted an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), where applicable, in pursuance of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. A declaration to that effect will have to be given to the Customs at the time of claiming the rebate.

The rebate will be disbursed by the Customs along with duty drawback. The scheme is optional. So, the exporter claiming the benefit has to make a suitable declaration to the Customs regarding his eligibility for the rate and rebate, acceptance of the terms and conditions of the ROSL scheme, that he has not claimed and shall not claim the credit or rebate or refund reimbursement of the specific taxes that comprise the rebate of state levies under any other mechanism and also that he has constituted an ICC.

The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has issued a detailed circular, clarifying various aspects of the scheme. It says the claim-cum-declaration of eligibility has to be made by the exporter on drawback exports at item level. The drawback exports (shipping bill or bill of export) may be standalone or in combination with other schemes. For the EDI (electronic data interchange) shipping bill, selection of the scheme code involving the ROSL scheme at the time of export shall itself amount to making a claim- cum-declaration of eligibility. For the EDI shipping bill, this shall be the only means to make the claim. If a need for a manual shipping bill arises, only then will the exporter printing the claim-cum-declaration on the shipping bill be accepted. No claim for rebate shall lie except in this manner, says CBEC.

Mostly, the conditions such as realisation of export proceeds that are applicable for sanction of drawback are equally applicable for rebates under the ROSL scheme but it is the ministry of textiles that will check the integrity of the declarations of eligibility under the scheme, and also initiate proceedings for recovery of any amount paid in excess or not payable to any exporter.

This is the first time the central government has agreed for a rebate on the taxes and other levies of state governments. Now that the garment sector has got relief, exporters in other sectors will be equally justified in claiming similar relief.

Jaipur’s Kagzi Group enters women’s garments sector

Jaipur’s Kagzi Group enters women’s garments sector

September 22, 2016:
Jaipur-based entrepreneur Mohammed Arif Kagzi is looking to reverse the trend — from online retailing to brick-and-mortar stores — to sell premium women’s garments brand Kashana.

“As against websites that offer heavy discounts, we have an advantage of lower inventory cost and economy of scale in manufacturing these garments. Therefore, we will be able to price it more competitively and be successful in offline retailing,” said Kagzi. The garments will be sold via Kagzi Apparels, an arm of Kagzi Group, known for its handmade paper.

Having a combined group turnover of ₹100 crore, the Kagzi Gorup has its own textile processing and garments division in Rajasthan. As a part of forward integration, it plans to set up physical retail outlets through a mix of company-owned and franchisee stores nationwide.

“We have strong backward integration, from fabric to garments. Branded retailing is our step forward in the value chain,” said Kagzi.

The group has a textile processing facility in Sanganer, a hub for the textiles and handmade paper industries.

It also has a garment making facility at Sitapura near Jaipur with an installed capacity of 2,50,000 pieces a month.

The group plans to manage inventory by adjusting the production according to demand, said Kagzi, adding: “For the distributors, unlike other branded garment companies, we will provide up to 80 per cent stock correction in the unsold stock. Every 15 days we will introduce new designs and patterns. This will also reduce the burden for retailers.”

The company plans to set up 50 retail stores across India over the next year, of which 10 will be opened in three months. The first will be in Udaipur.

What is Garments meanings ?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 2 Oct 2016 00:15:00 -0700

Meaning of Garments is "A garment is a piece of clothing". The area of New York City where clothes are manufactured is known as the Garment District.

Derived from the French word for "equipment," garment is a somewhat generic term you can use when the specific kind of clothing you're describing is not the point. A dress, for example, is a dress, and pants are pants. They are not the same thing, unless you refer to them both asgarments, in which case they are the same thing.

REFINED AND TAILORED LOOKS LEAD THE LEVI’S® FALL/WINTER 2012 COLLECTION

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 22:12:00 -0700

The Levi’s® Fall/Winter 2012 collection is based on a refined and tailored look, for both men and women
inspired by the ocean, coastal communities and their associated handcrafted tradition. The essence of the
collection is in its refined intention and tailored head-to-toe looks melding craftsmanship, honesty and
authenticity. All this while honoring tradition, defying convention, redefining the norm and re-crafting and recreating iconic Levi’s® styles.

The Collection
The ritual of dressing for the task at hand is as old as humanity, and it’s something the Levi’s® brand has
always understood. Now available in exclusive Levi’s® stores across India, the new Fall/Winter 2012
collection is made for those who get dressed each morning with purpose, with the intention and optimism to
make a positive difference in the world.
The men’s collection offers classic yet contemporary head-to-toe looks built around refined styles with sharp
clean aesthetics, tailored to perfection. The key item for men this season is the reconstructed classic 5-
pocket jean. The jean, first introduced by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1873, has evolved through the
years improving with age. Driven by a commitment to craftsmanship, this fall, the brand will re-introduce the
classic 5-pocket jean with a host of upgraded features.
In addition to the re-crafted classic 5-pocket jeans, the brand is launching the range of Levi’s® Sta-Prest™
pants in India. Originally introduced in the 1960’s, when Levi Strauss & Co. found a way to give a permanent,
sharp front crease to non-denim pants, Levi’s® Sta-Prest™ pants became the rage across America almost
overnight. Now they're back, and just as sharp. Designed to keep a permanent front crease, you get that new,
first-wear look every time – without all the work.
The overall style of the women’s collection is classic and refined with a clean, tailored aesthetic and
pronounced femininity. The key silhouette for women this season is the Bootcut Skinny, which the Levi’s®
brand has completely reinvented. No longer your mother’s bootcut denim, this season will see the launch of
this new take on a classic – a sexy, modern skinny fit making you think differently about the bootcut.
In addition to the Bootcut Skinny, the brand is launching a feminine tailored dress collection. These tastefully
crafted garments give a subtle nod to the idea of femininity but thoughtfully leave it open for interpretation.
The Levi’s® Dress Collection includes several new denim and non-denim dress styles in a variety of
fabrications including light, effortless knits, cotton-linens and soft chambrays.
As part of Levi Strauss & Co.’s profits through principles approach, sustainability is embedded throughout
the collection, with the use of Waterthis season.

YUVRAJ SINGH’S FASHION LABEL YWC LAUNCHES ITS FIRST TVC

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 22:07:00 -0700

YUVRAJ SINGH’S FASHION LABEL YWC LAUNCHES ITS FIRST TVC

YWC, a fashion label by cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has launched its first TVC campaign. The theme of the TVC revolves around 'Get up and Do it again' philosophy, a reflection of the fighter spirit of the brand ambassador and owner, Yuvraj Singh.

The larger level message that goes out via the TVC is to never let the champion within us die out. Life is a challenge but that is what makes it worthwhile and every challenge/failure brings the opportunity to emerge as a hero.

The TVC revolves around the story of Yuvraj Singh, the maverick who has broken conventions and the stigma around cancer. During the initial shots, we see him thinking aloud and talking about what it takes to be a champion. His entire life journey is projected very powerfully through the visuals; we see him recalling the highest highs to the lowest lows of his life. Images of Yuvraj from the time of him being the young turk who used to hit sixes at his will to the traumatic phase in the hospital takes the audiences on an emotional ride.

The film has been directed by Prasad Naik and produced by Allan D'Souza & Geeta Laxman by Fusion Films.

The YWC TVC focuses on all the mavericks, the doers, the fighters, and the champions who have made a comeback against all odds. It is through and through about the conquerors at life. The music is directed by Micu Patel along with sound design team led by Arun Crasto. The YWC label, in harmony with modern silhouettes, offers a unique blend of futuristic designs, chic fabrics and attitude amalgamated in one perfect collection.

It offers top-notch clothing creating a new benchmark for premium fashion. Royalties from the sales proceedings from YWC label will be channelized to help support the YOUWECAN Foundation. Buying YWC product helps cancer survivors and patients for funding treatment and education to give them the fair chance of a much deserved life. The YWC label resonates the 'live, dare and inspire', motto of Yuvraj Singh.

E-commerce discounts unsettle Aditya Birla Fashion’s premium brands

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 21:57:00 -0700

Last Modified: Mon, Sep 05 2016. 12 45 PM IST

Price discounts on online platforms and frequent sales drives are unsettling Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd’s (AB Fashion) premium brands business and driving a strategy rethink.

Sales at Madura Fashion and Lifestyle, which has premium brands, fell 3% in April-June, the second consecutive quarterly drop. As the company refrained from deep discounting to protect brand value, throughput volumes fell, impacting the unit’s operating profit.

Sales at Pantaloons, which operates in the value segment, grew 31%, helping the company register a respectable revenue growth of 8%. With the division seeing good traction, analysts expect it to continue to drive growth at AB Fashion and Retail.

But it will be lopsided growth—not least because Madura is more profitable than Pantaloons.

A significant part of AB Fashion and Retail’s capital is invested in Madura (roughly half of stand-alone assets are in Madura). The division generates more than half of AB Fashion’s revenues and weak performance is weighing on the overall performance.

The company is recalibrating the Madura business.

It is reducing fixed costs, increasing the season cycles and is driving digital transformation through the omni channel programme (shoppers can check unavailable inventory at stores and order online).

The measures and inventory drawdown process are estimated to take another quarter to begin showing results, which means Q2 could also be weak.

Aided by the wedding and festive season, the company expects Madura’s performance to recover from October or in the second half of the fiscal year.

But the street is sceptical. The stock fell sharply after the Q1 results and is yet to recover.

That is due to weak pricing power. Discounts have become sales drivers. Online platforms continue to offer high discounts and retail stores are being forced to follow suit. Further, with the consolidation in e-commerce firms (such as the Myntra-Jabong combination), analysts fear the market will continue to see pricing pressures.

To be sure, the problem is not typical to AB Fashion.

The whole apparel and retail industry is facing pressure on prices and realizations.

“It looks like now that it is a new normal that there will be discounting, there will be schemes and you have to live with those and then really still ensure that you can make money out of it,” Shoppers Stop Ltd told analysts last month.

But companies are getting around this. Branded apparel divisions of both Arvind Ltd and Raymond Ltd registered good sales growth in the June quarter. It is a different matter that these companies are yet to attain decent profitability.

But AB Fashion’s Madura is yet to even reach this stage. Of course, as pointed out earlier, the company is working on it.

Proof that the company is mastering the online strategy without sacrificing too much on profitability will bring relief to investors.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 21:55:00 -0700

By: FE Bureau | Mumbai | Updated: September 22, 2016 6:52 AM

Textile and apparel manufacturer Raymond is planning to enter the ethnic wear and footwear category by end of October, Gaurav Mahajan, president, group apparel, said on the sidelines of India Retail Forum.

He said that the company is planning to enter new categories and increase its product assortments to tap growth in these segments. In footwear ,the company would focus on both made-to-measure as well as readymade stuff.

According to Arvind Singhal, chairman, Technopak, “Ethnic wear brands in the country like Fabindia, Biba, W among others are very successful as demand is strong in this category and Raymond is also likely to benefit from it. However, I am not too sure about the growth in footwear category.”

The company is in the process of revamping its existing 1,000 Raymond Shop stores to Raymond Store of the Future, as it plans to digitise the stores with more smart features like providing tab to customers inside the store to browse the entire collection available.

The company has also shut around 10 loss making stores in the last one year, Mahajan said.

The group owns apparel brands like Raymond, Raymond Premium Apparel, Park Avenue, Park Avenue Woman, ColorPlus and Parx.

Raymond’s net loss in Q1 FY17 widened to Rs 16.61 crore from a net loss of Rs 14.47 crore during the same period last year. Consolidated total income from operations during the period was up 4.81% year-on-year to Rs 1,057.36 crore.

Designer kids wear market to hit Rs 95K crore by 2016: ASSOCHAM

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 28 Mar 2016 02:52:00 -0700

Rising media exposure, high disposable income of the parents, peer pressure and brand consciousness among children are driving the growth of kids apparel market in India from the current level of Rs. 72,000 crore to Rs 95,000 crore by 2016, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 20 per, apex industry body ASSOCHAM said today.

The kids' wear market is growing at the rate of 20% per annum, which makes it one of the fastest growing markets and likely to reach Rs. 95,000 crore by 2016 from the current level of about Rs 72,000 crore.

In an ASSOCHAM recent paper on “Growing market for branded kids-wear in India”, it has been pointed out that kids fashion has percolated down to Tier-II and Tier-III cities like Dehradun, Ludhiana, Pune, Nashik, Indore, Varanasi etc.

“Children have become brand conscious, parents have more money (thanks to double-income families in the cities) and peer pressure is growing. This is only segment which has not been impacted by the economic crisis and poised for significant growth”, said Mr. D S Rawat, Secretary General ASSOCHAM releasing the paper.

Earlier, the trend was to buy functional kids’ apparel rather than branded. Children’s garments were usually purchased from small stores and from street shops, while branded garments were only bought by very high-income families, reveal the ASSOCHAM paper.

The kids are having a good time with a pile of top brands including Allen Solly, Arrow, Reebok, Puma, Woodland and Marks & Spencer entering the branded kids apparel market. Brands such as Benetton, Pantaloon and Reebok have roped in popular characters like Pucca, Ben10 and Power Rangers.

This influx will challenge niche brands like Lilliput and Catmoss in a place where they grew up. The kids segment is the most promising in apparel retail in India. Big brands are only now realising its true potential. Sports goods major Reebok launched its kids-wear brand Reebok Junior mid last year.

Indian fashion designers are eyeing the premium space. Some have begun retailing their wares for kids through stores such as Kidology in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad, and in Mumbai. The big business houses are also examining the opportunity includes Pantaloon chain and Mahindra Retail.

ASSOCHAM highlights increased media exposure, double-income parents and peer pressure as the reasons for children becoming more fashion and brand conscious. Moreover, kids are aware of branded goods and have started asking for exclusive products. Brands are also realizing the potential of this market and are increasing their presence in this segment, it adds.
The other important change that is taking place in this area is the emergence of kids as an independent buyer group. Influenced by mass media and peer pressure, today's kids are more informed and self-conscious.

These brands are developing categories such as infant wear, kids' formal wear, kids' ethnic wear, swim wear and casual wear, along with a wide range of other merchandise for children, adds the report.

ASSOCHAM suggests that kids-gear will likely snowball into a Rs 95,000 crore market by 2016. Online sites have also launched for shopping branded kids wear and accessories for the age group between 2-16 years. The portal brings collection from some of the biggest brands in the categories of apparels and accessories.

Apart from this the film industry and the west also have a huge influence on the ever-evolving fashion scenario in India.

Indian apparel exports stable despite constrained global demands

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 05:41:00 -0700

Indian exports may have declined rapidly for the whole of 2015, owing to constrained global demands, yet most of the companies retained export market share even in the face of a global slowdown.

Union Commerce Secretary Rita Teaotia spoke extensively on the Indian exports scenario at a recently held meeting with exporters and state government officials and concluded that Indian industries have managed to maintain or even increase their market share in some sectors, including textile and garments.

Elaborating on the global scenario figuratively, Rita Teaotia said, “It is not just India that has seen fall in exports; China last month reported 25 per cent fall in exports. Europe, US, (in) all countries, the demand has contracted, this is the situation.” Specifically mentioning textile and garments sector, she said that exports in the sector in some markets continue to remain robust.

According to industry experts, lack of adequate sops and overall dull market, apparel exports may miss the earlier target of US$ 17.25 billion in the country. However, apparel exports, worth $16.50-16.75 billion, is being anticipated.

An Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) official, on condition of anonymity, said, “The target may be missed due to several factors such as lack of adequate sops as well as international market conditions. For instance, the European market has not been so bullish as far as apparel exports from India are concerned.”
