WITH LESS THAN two weeks to go for the GST 2.0 rates to take effect, the country's apex automotive dealers' lobby body has made a desperate appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help tide over the unaddressed issue of compensation cess.

The Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) wrote a letter to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Monday, seeking urgent transitional relief on the cess credits under the new rate regime to protect MSME auto dealerships and ensure its glitch-free implementation from September 22.
