在给政府的一封信中，印度手机而且电子协会（工商东亚)，代表主要电子制造公司印度政府还寻求将高端手机20%的基本关税限制在每台4000卢比，以遏制高端手机走私。印度政府表示，这将使商品及服务税增加100亿卢比。
该协会要求对现有的电子制造业关税结构进行审查，建议进行全面研究，以评估和评估现有的产品关税，这是其对即将到来的2023-24年工会预算的建议的一部分。
ET查阅了这封信的副本。
“我们强调，在小额关税的情况下，将关税视为保护国内产业的传统理解是行不通的。我们要求特别注意PCBA(印刷电路板组装)、连接器，特别是相机模块。”
为了提高制造业的本地化程度，该协会建议取消或降低对输入部件征收2.75%的“妨害”关税。
“投入品关税的稳定对该行业至关重要;然而，投入关税的不断修修补补，使得印度制造商很难以可行的方式运营。豁免通知本身应该有至少五年的期限。”
电子行业要求，非印度制造的产品应免征所有关税。它还要求对用于制造彩电的开放式电池组件征收零关税，取消2020年征收的5%的关税。

ICEA已要求降低商品及服务税税率智能手机、彩电及空调。

电视制造商Super Plastronics呼吁对电视和洗衣机实行与生产挂钩的激励计划，以及所有尺寸的统一18%的商品及服务税。目前，32英寸以下的电视有18%的消费税，而32英寸以上的电视有28%的消费税。
除了要求对制成品征税和关税合理化外，行业利益相关者还寻求对资本货物豁免关税，以涵盖零部件制造业。

<\/figure>New Delhi: The electronics industry wants the government to rationalise tariffs and remove what it called small \u201cnuisance\u201d tariffs of 2.75% on parts and components of mobile phones, sub-assemblies, and mechanics, and reduce Goods and Services Tax (GST) to 12% from 18%.In a letter to the government, India Cellular<\/a> and Electronics Association<\/a> (ICEA<\/a>), representing major electronics manufacturing companies<\/a>, also sought that the 20% basic customs duty on high-end phones be capped to Rs 4,000 per device, in a bid to check smuggling of high-end phones, which it said will add Rs 1,000 crore to the GST collection.
The association has asked for a review of existing tariff structure for electronics manufacturing, recommending a comprehensive study to assess and evaluate the existing tariff on products, as part of its recommendations for the upcoming union budget 2023-24.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cTariffs are becoming a major challenge in improving India\u2019s competitiveness in manufacturing for global supplies where we are lagging behind Vietnam, Thailand, and Mexico, among others,\u201d ICEA said in the letter.
ET has reviewed a copy of its letter.
\u201cWe emphasise that in the case of small tariffs, the traditional understanding of tariffs as protecting the domestic industry fails. We request particular attention to parts of PCBA (printed circuit board assembly), connectors, and particularly camera modules,\u201d it said.
To increase localisation of manufacturing, the association has recommended removal or a reduction in smaller \u201cnuisance\u201d tariffs of 2.75% on input components.
\u201cThe stability of tariffs for inputs is paramount for the industry; however, the constant tinkering in tariffs for inputs has made it very difficult for manufacturers in India to operate in a viable manner. The exemption notification itself should have a sunset of at least five years,\u201d ICEA said.
The electronics industry demanded that products not made in India should be exempted from all duties. It also demanded zero duty on open cell assemblies for manufacturing colour TVs, removing a 5% duty imposed in 2020.
