There are about 7 crore small businesses in the country, employing 45 crore people and generating an annual turnover of about 45 lakh crore rupees, CAIT national president BC Bhartia and secretary general Praveen Khandelwal said quoting a survey by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO).
It is a matter of regret that so far no government has taken any step to prepare data for such an important sector of the country, they said.
Once the data is collected, CAIT will strongly demand formation of a separate ministry for internal trade and will raise other issues of the traders.
