A study conducted by a committee,
titled “World Class in India”, found the Indian bicycle industry to be globally
competitive. It projected the demand to grow from 117.2 lakh units in 2009-10
to 129.5 lakh units in 2010-11. However, all this has changed drastically
post-imposition of excise duty. According to All India Cycle Manufacturers’
Association (A1CMA). the production figure would be in the vicinity of 100 lakh
units. It says that against the net gain of excise duty of Rs 50 crore. the
Government has lost 29 lakh bicycles. Even if one assumes that the production
is less by 29 lakh units, the Government will lose Rs 122 per bicycle, which is
the excise duty paid actually on inputs by manufacturers. Thus the Government
has lost Rs 35 crore. Not to forget the losses in terms of 2 per cent central
sales tax (CST) and the state taxes which vary from 4-8 per cent. Assuming an
average of 6 per cent states tax and 2 per cent CST, the Government has lost
another Rs 25 crore.
