As the DG, WTO observed recently (April 2015), “it is only by withdrawing protectionist measures, improving market access, avoiding policies which distort competition and striving to agree on reforms to global trade rules, governments can boost trade and seize the opportunities that it offers for everyone, in the years to come”. Several factors contributed to the sluggishness of trade and output in 2014 and at the beginning of 2015, including slowing GDP growth in emerging economies, an uneven recovery in developed countries and rising geopolitical tensions among others. Strong exchange rate fluctuations, including a 14% appreciation of the US dollar against other currencies between July, 2014 and March, 2015 have further complicated the trade situation and outlook.

It has a share of 14% in industrial production and 4% in India’s GDP and 13% in export earnings. It employs over 45 million people directly and 60 million people indirectly. Indian textile products are exported to more than a hundred countries. During the fiscal year 2014-15, the total textile exports stood at USD 41.67 billion as against USD 40.85 billion attained in the previous year 2013-14, thereby registering a nominal growth of 2% in dollar terms. In rupee terms, exports during fiscal 2014-15 reached 2,54,886 crore as against 2,47,741 crore in the previous fiscal year thereby recording a growth of 3%. The nominal export growth in the fiscal year 2014-15 belies the potential of the industry to grow at higher levels. The low rate of growth in fiscal 2014-15 can be attributed to the China factor, recessionary trends in global markets, unequal international setting on account of preferential access given to competing countries and rising cost of inputs and raw materials compounded by severe pressure on prices. The Economic Survey 2014-15, acknowledges the contribution of the Textile and Clothing sectors in strengthening the manufacturing base, increasing exports and generating employment.

Twenty Three (23) Member Exporters and Seven (7) Registered Textile Exporters attended the meeting. Shri Manikam Ramaswami, Chairman took the chair and called the meeting to order after ascertaining that requisite quorum was present. Greeting the members at the AGM, Chairman stated that he deemed it as a privilege to present the 60th Annual Report of the Council. Texprocil was the mother of all EPCs and the dedicated efforts put in by its leaders in the initial years inspired the Government to create several sector specific EPCs, subsequently. The Council, he pointed out had been constantly reinventing itself during the last 60 years to stay relevant and serve its membership objectively. Stressing on the importance of joint representations to policy makers, he stated that TEXPROCIL @ 60 enjoyed tremendous credibility, and its logical data based approach was much appreciated by Ministry officials. The effectiveness of TEXPROCIL’s approach over lobby based approach was certainly bringing the other EPCs to work more closely with it. To become competitive in International Trade, Shri Ramaswami stated that the EPCs should come together and get increasingly involved in related areas which may not strictly be construed export promotion activities, such as getting Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to play a market stabilizing role besides implementing the support price scheme for procurement of cotton; carefully study international trade treaties and trade imbalances with important countries; commission social impact studies and through it highlight the importance of access to developed markets for textiles; study the stated objective of incentives and dutifully take up the need to have the highest incentives for textiles amongst all manufactured product with the Ministries of Textiles and Commerce including the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Shri Manikam Ramaswami further stated that the ‘China Focus’ policy had yielded excellent results during the year gone by wherein Indian exporters enjoyed a buoyant market for yarn. The Council’s innovative strategy to open the door into Vietnam was also beginning to give results. Council’s approach was highly appreciated not only by the Ministry of Textiles and Commerce and the Indian Consulate but even by the Vietnamese Department of Trade. The Council’s efforts to get the Indian Government to seek favourable access to China for Indian Fabrics and Home textiles by way of reduced tariff was gaining traction, which if considered by the Chinese Authorities will help India steeply increase its exports. Chairman pointed out that TEXPROCIL was one of the very few EPCs which had assumed an ambitious target for the fiscal year 2012-2013 and exceeded it by a decent margin for which it was complimented by the Ministry of Textiles. The General Body approved and adopted the Committee’s Report, Annual Audited Accounts, Auditor’s Report and Appointment of Auditors for the year 2014-15 including fixing of their remuneration. Following Members were elected as Committee Members in place of those Committee Members who retired by rotation. 61ST ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015 44 Category: Export Performance between Rs.5 Crores and Rs.25 Crores Smt.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (“the Council”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, and the related Statements of Income and Expenditure for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. MANAGEMENTÛS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. The Council’s Committee of Administration is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance of the Council in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended). This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Council and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. AUDITORÛS RESPONSIBILITY 3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 4. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder. 5. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. 6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Council’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Council has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements. BASIS OF EMPHASIS OF MATTER 8. Attention is drawn to Note 29 to the financial statements which states that the Council has not made any provision for taxation for the current year and earlier year as in the opinion of the management the activities of the Council are in the nature of charitable purpose in accordance with section 2 (15) and hence the council is entitled to the benefits of section 11 of the Income tax act. However, the Income tax department had denied the benefit of the section 11 of the Income tax Act 1961, for AY 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 and had raised demand of Rs. 35,313,456/-. The matter was decided by Honourable Tribunal in favour of the Council for the AY 2009-10. The department has filed the petition to the Mumbai high court against the said order. Having regarded to the said favourable decision of the Hon'ble Tribunal and merits of the case, the management of the Council has assessed the liability to be contingent in nature. Our report is not qualified on this matter. BASIS OF OPINION 9.
