32. ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
The Major practical difficulties encountered by the Pondicherry Coop. Building Centre is that to face unhealthy competition from unscrupulous private traders.
As a Cooperative institution we have to remain disciplined not only in business policies but also in the maintenance of accounts
Normally the overheads expenses in cooperative are slightly higher because of the necessity to maintain the proper accounts, full payment of taxes to Government, reasonable salaries and wages to the employees.

33. ISSUES AND CHALLENGES CONTD..
To overcome the difficulties and considering the above fact Govt. of Puducherry has issued an order Exempting from Collection of Vat Taxes on sale of Building Materials
The same was withdraw by the Govt. vide G.O. Ms. No.68/F2/2011 dated 31st December 2011.
Because of the fact we find that the competition with the private traders are very tough and costly.
If exemption is granted under the VAT Act it is not only boost our sale and revenue but also such kind of indirect concession to the Cooperative and public sectors undertaking will help the Government to maintain the price line under control besides enforcing the statutory laws. 33
