The resolution was unanimously adopted at the Statewide APMC Traders’ Conference jointly organised by the Kolhapur Chamber of Commerce & Industries and the Kolhapur Grain Merchants’ Association. He said traders are today subjected to the combined burden of GST, APMC Market Cess and User Charges, creating an unjust system of multiple taxation. If the cess is not abolished by October 2, 2026, traders will stop collecting and paying APMC Market Cess. Abolish APMC Market Cess immediately, as the State Government is already receiving GST revenue on food grains and essential commodities. Convene an urgent meeting with Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis to secure abolition of APMC Market Cess and accelerate APMC reforms.
