ASIRT organizes Tech Day with Dipak Mortale
2014-06-23ASIRT in its recently concluded Tech Day has attributed due credit to unsung hero Dipak Mortale, President of Nanded IT Association, a small 40 member association that has taken on Government of Maharashtra with a writ petition in High Court to ensure Government follows its own IT policy declared in 2009 that frees IT industry from LBT, Octroi, or local body tax for IT industry across the state.
Mortale had also shared several direct, easy to avail amazing financial benefits of registering as ITU - IT Unit way back in March at FITAM meeting.He has also updated members on some significant benefits that allow IT companies to be set up in residential area, save almost 50% on electricity by availing residential or industrial rate and duty exemption on total invoice currently being charged at 10%; concessional rate for land in MIDC; 80% refund on investment made in setting up IT units and even refund on VAT. He also added cluster set up where members can come together and set up common purpose units such as data centres or any others and avail grants from government. Mortale mentioned that central government enterprises are mandated to procure 20% of their requirements of IT from MSME units and are supposed to file report for having done so; a humongous opportunity given the government and semi-government enterprises spend on IT.
It should be noted that ASIRT has been working hard petitioning with BJP and ministers of current NDA government; and bureaucracy at various levels to raise this mandated spend to be allocated at 50% from Small and Medium units.Mortale also explained the procedure of ITU registration that is simple, requires negligible efforts and can be completed in less than 2 days that makes IT companies entitled to avail these benefits.
