In
a major boost to timber trade in the state, the Punjab Government has decided
to abolish the Rural Development Fee (RDF) being levied on the purchase of wood
from the Wood Market (Lakkar Mandi) Yard in the state.
Disclosing this here today a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said
that file to this regard was cleared by the Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash
Singh Badal, who is also the Chairman of the Punjab State Rural Development
Board, here this morning. The spokesperson further said that earlier Market fee
and RDF at the rate of 1% each was levied on purchase of wood from within Wood
Market (Lakkar Mandi) Yard in the state.
However, recently the Market fee was slashed by the state
government on purchase of wood from within Wood Market (Lakkar Mandi) Yard.
Likewise the state government has now decided to exempt the purchase of wood
from within Wood Market (Lakkar Mandi) Yard from RDF also. But 1% RDF and
Market fee would be levied on the wood purchased from outside the Wood Market
(Lakkar Mandi) Yard.
