General Secretary of the association Sunil raised the issues with reference to stuck up payments, list-wise and project-wise and laid the stress to resolve the issue at the earliest as all the affected piece workers are suffering badly on account of loans borrowed from the banks and private financiers on the exorbitant rate of interest.
Other issue of deduction of additional GST alias 12 per cent and 18 per cent in addition to already 2 per cent TDS-GST on all the bills payment of contracts and supplies was also discussed.
The issue of restricting piece workers should be taken up very shortly with the higher authorities in the Government, the delegation told MD.
MD of the Corporation gave patient hearing to all the problems including the important issue of old liabilities and further assured the delegation to wait for some reasonable time as he has already taken up the issue of their (JKPCC) long and overdue pending payment claims with their (JKPCC) project authorities for reconciliation.
He asked all the piece workers to submit their fresh list of liabilities again which was earlier submitted to the GM of JKPCC some two months back on the instance of MD during his last visit at Jammu.
