Frustrated at continuing delays in receiving their export payment rebates, the Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA) has urged the government to restart issuing the rebates through scheduled banks.

In a letter to the Minister of Commerce, the Chairman of the PTA, Farrukh Hussain Shaikh, highlighted Customs General Order No 02/1996 which allows the payment of rebates through banks instead of the Central Board of Revenue. Using this method, payments of rebates to exporters would occur at the time the revenues are realised by the banks.
