Report of
The Committee of Administration of The Council
for the Year 2014-2015
TRENDS IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
As per a WTO report (April, 2015) growth in world merchandise trade is expected to pick up only
slightly over the next two years, rising from 2.8% in 2014 to 3.3% in 2015 and eventually to 4.0% in
2016. 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.

DIRECTIONS OF REGIONAL TRADE
Asia not only continues as a major manufacturer-supplier of textile and clothing products to the
developed and developing world, but has also accelerated its export presence in recent years. In fact,
the Asian region (including China) is on the verge of entering into a new phase, wherein its own
consumption of textile and clothing products is going to become very significant.

EXPORT PERFORMANCE IN FISCAL YEAR 2014-15
India has emerged as the second largest manufacturer of textile and clothing in the world, behind
China. 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.

6th-7th November, 2014. Shri Siddhartha Rajagopal, Executive Director of the Council made a presentation
on "Advantages of Sourcing Cotton Fabrics from India".
The key takeaways from the Conference were that India's prices of Cotton Fabrics were very competitive
and if the import duties are reduced from 10% to 5%, India's exports will increase two to three fold
from the present level.
Pakistan has a market share of almost 85.73% in the grey fabrics segment. Apart from Grey Fabrics,
there is also a growing demand for Dyed/ Processed Fabrics as China is imposing stringent controls on
pollution under their "Blue Sky" policy, whereby they hope to control all carbon emissions & pollutants
by the year 2020 & see the blue sky clearly across China.
The forum also helped to represent some serious concerns regarding an over-supply of cotton in the
world, consequent upon China making some far reaching changes in its Cotton procurement policy.

EXPORT SERVICES ACTIVITIES
GOVERNMENT RULE & REGULATIONS
Cotton textile exports continue to be sensitive to export benefits, Duty Drawback, FTAs/RTAs which
India engages with other countries / region and the various Government policies. The Council took the
primary responsibility of facilitating the creation of an enabling environment and infrastructure for
accelerated growth of exports of cotton textiles. The core functions in this regard included providing
inputs / suggestions to the Government for formulation and implementation of appropriate trade and
commercial policies for increasing exports of cotton textiles.
The Council made several representations to the Government on various issues affecting the exporters.
Most of the recommendations made by the Council were accepted and implemented by the Government.
The Council’s representation on the Government’s proposed move to make it mandatory to obtain
certifications under National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) for organic textiles was accepted
and the Government has deferred this requirement. Many cotton textile products were included in the
Focus Product Scheme as proposed by the Council. Likewise, many countries have been included under
the Focus Market Scheme and the Market Linked Focus Product Scheme as recommended by the Council.
On account of the Council’s representations, Many procedural issues were also resolved.
However, there were still some areas which remained unresolved despite persistent representations
to the Government by the Council. The problem faced by the exporters in filing applications online
for 2% additional duty credit scrips under the Market Linked Focus Product Scheme (MLFPS) remained
unresolved. The Council’s representations on the relaxation of the Cabotage Rules also remained pending.
Despite several representations, the delay in the release of Duty Drawback amounts continues at major
ports like JNPT, Chennai, Tuticorin etc.
FOREIGN TRADE POLICY / UNION BUDGET PROPOSALS
The Council made an in-depth analysis of the various provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy & Procedures
and based on such analysis and feedback from member-exporters, various issues were taken up with the
Director General of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, with a view to make the Foreign Trade Policy
operationally smooth, result-oriented and exporter-friendly. Similarly, amendments in Duty Drawback
rates, Customs & Central Excise Rules & Regulations were constantly monitored and the implications of
such changes were analysed and corrective measures were suggested.
The Council also sent proposals to the Government on the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 and the
Union Budget for 2015-16.
DUTY DRAWBACK SCHEME
A majority of the members of the Council operate under the Duty Drawback Scheme. The Council
took all necessary steps to ensure that the Duty Drawback rates for Cotton textiles are fair and justified.
During the year, the Council collected data from member-exporters and submitted detailed proposals
for an increase in the Duty Drawback rates for Cotton Textiles.
The Council made presentations before the High level Committee consisting of Dr.Saumitra Chaudhuri,
Chairman, Shri G.K. Pillai, Ms. Shobha L Chary, Member and Shri Gautam Ray, Member in Mumbai on
14th August 2014, and in Coimbatore on 15 September 2014. In its presentation, the Council had

suggested for an increase in the Drawback rates as well as the Drawback caps. The presentation
covered export products like Cotton Woven fabrics (including Denim)-Dyed and Made-ups (including
Home textiles). The Council emphasized the need for an increase in the Drawback caps especially for
high value fabrics. The disadvantages faced due to preferential access given by EU to fabrics producing
countries like Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt and high import duties imposed by China and Turkey were
also brought to the notice of the Drawback Committee.
TECHNICAL TEXTILES
The Council played a major role in promoting exports of technical textiles. The Council highlighted to
the Government the need for separate ITC (HS) Codes and Standard Input Output Norms for technical
textiles products. The Council also proposed ITC (HS) Codes for 70 items of technical textiles to the
Government.
GRIEVANCES OF EXPORTERS / PROCEDURAL PROBLEMS/ TRADE FACILITATION

by the Council to its members.
The Council also took up problems faced by exporters at the operational level with appropriate
Government bodies such as Customs, Central Excise, Licensing authorities, Banks, ECGC etc. The Council
also assisted the member exporters in getting their Excise Rebate/Duty Drawback claims, Service Tax
and VAT refunds with minimum delay.
The Council’s representative regularly attended the Custom’s Trade Facilitation Meetings and the
Grievance Committee meetings held by Jt. DGFT, Mumbai for redressal of such problems. Moreover, the
Council also attended to complaints from exporters against overseas buyers on issues like non-payment

60TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The 60th Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday. 13th September 2014 at “Sunset Lounge”,
Hotel Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai. 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of
The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
61ST ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015
47
the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Council’s
Members of the Committee of Administration, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
7. 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. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and

Note 29 The Income Tax Department had denied the benefit under section 11 to the Council for Assessment Year
2009-10. However, during the year the Hon’ble Tribunal while reversing the order of the Commissioner
of Income Tax for the aforesaid year had held that provisions of section 11 are applicable to the Council.
Similarly, the tax department’s action of withdrawal of the council’s registration under section 12AA
w.e.f. Assessment Year 2009-10 had also been set aside by the Hon’ble Tribunal. However the Income
Tax department has filed petition in the Mumbai High Court against the said tribunal order after the
end of the financial year. The Income Tax Department had also denied the benefit of section11 to the
Council for the assessment years 2010-11 and 2011-12. The Council has already filed an appeal against
the said order with Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals). In the opinion of the management of the
Council the activities of the Council are in the nature of charitable purpose in accordance with section
2(15) and accordingly the provisions of section 11 would apply to the Council. In view of the above,
no provision for taxation has been made by the Council for the financial year 2014-15 or for earlier
years.
The management of the council, having regard to favourable decision of the Hon'ble Tribunal, merits of
the case is hopeful of favourable outcome of the matter and has assessed the liability to be contigent
in nature.
